Simple Salon has an Ordering tool that keeps your stock under control. Once you set up your product quantities, the system knows when you're running low. When you need to restock, you create an order and send it to your supplier.

Creating suppliers
Before you can use Ordering, set up your suppliers and link them to your products.
If you haven't done this yet, see this article.
Creating Suppliers and Assigning them to Products
Setting up product quantities
For Ordering to work properly, set a minimum and maximum stock level for each product.
The minimum is the point where the system knows you need to re-order. The maximum is how many you want on the shelf once you do.
To set this up, see this article.
Ordering: Setting Up Product Quantities
Creating an order
Once your suppliers and product quantities are set up, you're ready to create an order.
All stock ordering happens in the Ordering menu on the left.
Choose a supplier and hit Auto Generate Order to add every product from that supplier that has dropped below its minimum quantity. You can also add items yourself.
For the full walkthrough, see this article.
Receiving an order
When your stock arrives, go back into Ordering and open the order to receive it.
For the full steps, see this article.
Exporting, printing and duplicating orders
You can export, print or duplicate any order straight from the Ordering list.

How to Do a Stock Take with Simple Salon
Tracking salon use products
For your salon use products, keep a bin out back for empty professional colour tubes and product containers. Process them through POS once a week so your stock stays accurate. Here's how to do that.
