How To Set Up Stock Management

This article will talk you through how to set up and start using our stock management section of Aesthetic Nurse Software.

Our stock section allows you to keep an eye on the levels of stock that you have for your treatment products and also retail products in your clinic. You can add extra stock to this section and products automatically deduct when added to an invoice in ANS.

To learn how to set up our stock management section, watch our short video below. Alternatively, follow our simple steps.

First you will need to set up the two sections of stock needed within your account for stock management. Your first is treatment stock, this is for products being used on your patients for their treatements.

From the main menu, head to settings.

Once in settings, head to treatment products under the heading products.

If you are updating your exsisting treatment products, you will just need to head into the brand and then via the pencil icon for the specific treatment product.

Then when in your edit product section, you will need to head to the stock control area.

If you do not want your treatment product to pull through to the stock page keep this section as N/A. Otherwise, you will need to update this to product and state the number of stock you would like it reach before it states it is low.

Then you can also choose if you would like to recieve an email when this product gets low in stock.

Secondly you will need to set up all of your retail products within ANS. Retail products will be anything that you are selling to your patients.

Back in the settings area head to retail products under the heading products.

This section will hold all of your retail products. to add a new retail product, select the new retail product button.

You then have the brand box, where you can choose a brand from the drop down. Alternatively, if you need to add a new brand into this section you can free type in the top box and select enter to add the new category.

You can then name your specific product you are looking to sell within ANS and add the cost to the patient for this purchase.

You then have the option to enable a repurchase reminder. This is set by your product interval for how often a patient should be buying the product.

You also have the option to recieve a notification when your running low on this product. In the stock control just pop the amount you would like to recieve the notification at and tick to recieve the email notification.

Once happy, hit save and this will add the new category and retail product to your list.

Once you have added all of your treatment products and retail products to your software you will then be able to add how much stock you have of each item to the software.

Head back into settings and to the stock section under the heading products.

This is will show you all the retail products you have saved alongside any treatment products you have marked that you would like to control stock for.

In each brand it will show the individual products and if you are low in stock this will state next to the product.

To then start adding your stock levels for the products, you will need to select the add or deduct stock option.

You will then need to state if you are adding stock on for a treatment product or a retail product.

Then you can choose to assign the stock to a clinic.

Then select the product you are adding stock for and the amount of stock you are adding.

To then add another product and stock, choose the add another product button and repeat the process again. Then when happy with your list hit save changes.
