Stock levels
The Stock Levels page is StockBrik's main view: one row per tracked ingredient, showing what StockBrik believes you have right now and - just as importantly - how much you should trust that belief.
What each row shows
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Estimated quantity | The current inferred stock level, in the ingredient's tracking unit (e.g. 14.5 kg of flour, 23 litres of milk, 41 each of cake boxes) |
| Confidence | A badge: Estimated, Approximate, or Count recommended - never a raw percentage |
| Days remaining | How long the current stock should last at the recent rate of use |
| Source | A plain-English label explaining where the consumption side of the estimate comes from, e.g. Based on POS sales data |
| Status | OK, Low, Critical, or Out |
| Last count | When the ingredient was last physically counted, and the counted quantity |
| Last delivery | The most recent matched invoice delivery for this ingredient |
You can search by name, filter by status or source, and sort by name, days remaining, confidence, or quantity - so "show me everything Low or Critical, soonest to run out first" is two clicks before you write a supplier order.
The confidence badge
Every estimate carries one of three badges:
- Estimated - good data, recently anchored. Trust it for day-to-day decisions.
- Approximate - directionally right, but treat the exact number with some care.
- Count recommended - the estimate has drifted or the data behind it is thin. A quick count will fix it.
StockBrik never shows a confidence percentage, because "73% confident" sounds more precise than it really is. The badge tells you the only thing that matters: whether to act on the number or go and count the shelf. How estimates work explains what moves an ingredient between badges.
The source label
The Source column tells you which sales signal is depleting that ingredient's estimate - Based on POS sales data, Based on your daily sales log, Based on estimated weekly sales, Based on stock count history, or Based on ordering patterns. Different ingredients can use different sources at the same time; StockBrik always picks the best one available for each. The labels are explained in full in How estimates work.
Status: OK, Low, Critical, Out
Status is derived from the estimated days remaining:
- OK - comfortably stocked
- Low - running down; worth adding to the next order
- Critical - about to run out
- Out - the estimate has reached zero or gone negative
When something shows Out but the shelf is full
A negative or Out estimate usually does not mean you are out of stock - it means StockBrik saw sales going out without a matching delivery coming in. The classic case: you ran out of milk on a Saturday, paid cash at the supermarket, and the receipt never went through Brikly. StockBrik kept deducting flat whites from a delivery it never saw.
The fix takes ten seconds: open the row and add a Delivery (not invoiced) adjustment for roughly what you bought. The estimate snaps back to sense. See Adjustments.
If you do put that supermarket receipt through Brikly's invoice processing (many operators do, for their accounts), the delivery is picked up automatically like any other invoice - no adjustment needed.
When the estimate looks too high
The inverse happens too: the estimate says plenty, but some of that stock was never for sale. The classic case is buying a case of the soft drinks you sell, but for the staff fridge - the line is matched (you still want the price history and the accounting), so StockBrik counted the cans into sellable stock. Open the invoice and switch off Adds to stock on that line: the purchase keeps its price and accounting treatment, and the estimate drops back to what is actually on the shelf to sell. See How estimates work.
Quick adjustments from the row
If you can edit stock, clicking a row opens the adjustment dialog - quick plus/minus with a reason, without leaving the page. Handy when you spot a wrong-looking number while you are standing in front of the shelf that disproves it.
