How is stock updated?
Stock movements are not entered manually; every issue is its own stock movement. Every item issued from the vending machine or a virtual store point is deducted from stock the moment it is issued. As a result, no gap opens between stock and records; if there is a discrepancy, its cause is looked for in the issue record.
Vending machine slots and critical stock
- Slot definition: each slot's item, current quantity and capacity
- Critical level: an alert when the slot drops below this quantity
- Refill quantity: tells the technician how many items to put into the slot
- Low stock list: slots about to run out, shown when the panel opens
- Technician scope: a technician sees only the machines assigned to them
Consumption and cost
Consumption is reported by employee, department, cost centre, item and date range. Once you can see which department consumes which PPE and how fast, purchasing is based on data rather than estimates; a department or employee with unusual consumption stands out in the report. For distribution rules see PPE entitlement and limit management, and for the overall flow see PPE distribution system.

Frequently asked questions
How is PPE stock tracked?
Every issue is recorded with employee, item, machine and time, and the issued quantity is deducted from stock automatically.
Are there alerts for vending machine slots?
Yes. A critical stock level is defined for each slot; slots that drop below it appear in the low stock list.
Which machines does a technician see?
Only the machines and departments assigned to them.
What breakdowns are available in the consumption report?
By employee, department, cost centre, item and date range.
Are store and vending machine stock kept separately?
Both are managed in the same database; issues are written to the same record structure.
