Storeroom Stock Deduction

Overview

The InventoryStoreroom ManagementStock Deduction module on the iHospitality Hub lets employees manage a storeroom's stock directly from a shared kiosk device — either assigning new stock into a storeroom or deducting stock that's been used or consumed. Both are simple, form-Form-based actions that update that storeroom's item counts once approved.

This module only appears on hubs where InventoryStoreroom ManagementStock Deduction was checked under Hub Modules, and only for employees whose User Role has Can iHospitality Hub Login enabled — see the iHospitality Hub – Setup page.

Employee taps InventoryStoreroom ManagementStock Deduction → Identifies via PIN/face → Chooses Assign Inventory or Deduct Stock → Selects Storage Room → Enters quantities per item → Reviews New/Store New Stock → APPROVE


Important Notes

  • Store Stock always refers to what's currently in the selected storeroom — it's the starting point for both Assign and Deduct.
  • On the Assign form, Available Stock comes from overall inventory, not the storeroom itself — it's how much could be assigned, separate from what's already there.
  • New Store Stock (Assign) and Store New Stock (Deduct) are both previews calculated automatically as you type — nothing is updated in the system until APPROVE is tapped.
  • RESET clears the form without saving; it does not undo an assignment/deduction that was already approved.
  • This module only appears on hubs where Inventory Management was checked under Hub Modules — see the iHospitality Hub – Setup page.
