You need to follow the guides at [Inventory Items - Manager.io](https://manager.io/inventory-items) Open each of them. If you follow the discussions in this forum you would have noticed that you must use Purchase Orders AND Goods receipts more specifically from the guides [emphasis added]:

> If _Qty on hand_ were to consider all invoices, it might not accurately reflect the physical count of items, especially during these gaps.
> 
> _Delivery Notes_ and _Goods Receipts_ are designed specifically to track the actual movement of goods. They confirm that goods have left a seller’s premises or have been received at a buyer’s location. By considering these instead of invoices for the _Qty on hand_ column, the software ensures that the displayed quantity aligns with the physical reality of stock levels. **One key aspect of this is the necessity for _Delivery Notes_ and _Goods Receipts_ to be linked to an actual _Sales Order_ or _Purchase Order_ for them to impact the _Qty on hand_ column.** This ensures each stock movement is associated with an authentic business transaction.

As a new user you are strongly advised to read the guides and search the forum before starting a new topic.
