Inventory & lots
Inventory answers “how much do I have left?”—by lot, expiration, and spend—so refills don’t catch you off guard.
Adding a lot
- Go to Drugs → select a drug → Inventory (or use the Inventory section)
- Click Add lot
- Fill in:
- Quantity purchased — e.g., 1 vial, 60 capsules, 30 ml
- Quantity unit — vial, capsule, tablet, ml, etc.
- Purchase date (optional)
- Cost (optional) — for spending tracking
- Supplier and Supplier URL (optional)
- Expiration date (optional)
- Lot number (optional) — for recall tracking
- Save
FIFO deduction
When you log a dose as taken, StackTrack deducts from your inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO):
- Oldest lots (by purchase or expiration) are used first
- Quantity remaining is updated automatically
- When a lot reaches zero, it’s marked Depleted
Low-stock alerts
Set a low-stock threshold for each drug. When quantity falls below that level, StackTrack alerts you so you can reorder in time.
Cost tracking
- Cost per dose — calculated from lot cost and dose size
- Financial overview — see total spending by drug or over time
- Cost records are created when you add lots; they link to your dose logs for analysis
Lot status
Lots can be:
- Active — in use
- Depleted — quantity is zero
- Expired — past expiration date (StackTrack can mark these automatically)
Viewing inventory
From the Inventory page or a drug’s detail view, you can see:
- All lots for that drug
- Quantity remaining
- Expiration dates
- Which lot will be used next (FIFO order)
