Updated over 6 months ago

This article will talk you through how to add and deduct stock within your Aesthetic Nurse Software.

Our stock section allows you to keep an eye on the levels of stock for both your retail and treatment products being used within your clinic. You will be able to manage your stock levels by adding stock into your settings which will automatically deduct when this product is added to a treatment or a retail product is sold. You can also manually deduct stock if needed.

To learn how to manage your stock levels of products within ANS, watch our short video below. Alternatively, follow our simple steps.


Adding Stock

First we will talk through how to add stock to your products. Once you recieve your delivery of retail products and treatment products you will be able to update their stock levels within your account.

Step 1 :

From the main menu, head to settings.

Step 2 :

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

Step 3 :

In this section, you will be shown all of the retail products along side any treatment products you have marked that you would like to control stock for.

If there are any retail products missing from the list you will just need to add these into the software you can learn how to do this in our specfic guide. If there are treatment products missing you may need to activate the stock for this, head to our specific treatment product stock guide to learn how to set this up.

Step 4 :

In each brand it will show the indivdual prodcts and if you are currently low in stock for this product.

Step 5 :

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

Step 6 :

You will then be able to state if the stock you are adding is a retail product stock or a treatment product stock.
