This article will talk you through how to set up and manage your treatment stock within Aesthetic Nurse Software.
Our stock section allows you to keep an eye on the levels of stock for both your retail products and treatment products being used within your clinic. You can add extra stock in this section and products will automatically deduct when added to an invoice in ANS.
