inventory/stock-items
Grade a stock item when it comes in, or again after work changes what it is worth. The grade goes into an attribute on the unit itself, so two units of one SKU can carry different grades. Attributes explains why a grade belongs in an attribute rather than the Condition field.

​
Prerequisites

Required permissions: “Create and edit stock items” (inventory:stock_item_attributes:manage). Every built-in role holds it, Member included. See Users & Roles.
Have ready before you start:
  • A grade attribute on the inventory resource, of type Select, with your grades as its options. See Add a stock item attribute.
  • The unit’s grade, decided against the unit in front of you rather than its SKU.

​
The walkthrough

1

Open the stock item

Open Inventory → Stock items and click the item’s row. Check the location selector in the top-left corner first if you have more than one location, because the table lists only that location’s stock. The item opens on its General tab.
2

Open the Attributes tab

Click Attributes in the item’s tab row. The tab shows the item’s attributes in cards: Details for attributes with no group, and one card per attribute group. If the grade already shows in its card, go to the last step.
3

Open Add attributes

Click Add Attribute at the top of the card the grade belongs in: its attribute group’s card, or Details when it has no group. The Add attributes panel opens on the right with one empty row.
4

Pick the grade and its value

In Pick an attribute, choose your grade attribute. Choose the unit’s grade in the field that appears beside it. Click Add 1 attribute at the bottom of the panel. The panel closes, and the card lists the grade with its value, saved at once.
5

Change a grade the item already carries

Skip this step if you added the grade in the step before. Choose the new grade in the grade’s field on its card. A bar opens across the top of the page: click Save changes in it to keep the new grade.

​
How do I know it worked?

  • The grade shows on the item’s Attributes tab, with the value you chose, after you reload the page.
  • Filtering the Stock items table by the grade finds the item. Show the attribute’s column first: attribute columns are hidden by default.

​
Troubleshooting / common pitfalls

The panel leaves out attributes the item already carries, and on a group’s card it offers only that group’s attributes. Look for the grade on the item’s cards first, or open the panel from Details, which offers every inventory attribute. See Stock Item - Attributes.
A Select attribute offers only its options. Add the grade as an option to the attribute under Settings → Attributes & Tags → Inventory. See Attributes.
The listing’s rule has to match on the grade attribute, and the unit has to be Active. See Attributes for what a rule can match on, and Stock Item Status for which units count.
