Types of Stock Movements
In Mobility Work, the stock of a spare part can change in three main ways:
1. Inventory
- Allows you to manually update the actual quantity in stock.
- Can record a quantity higher or lower than the current stock.
- Useful for correcting discrepancies or verifying stock accuracy.
- Also allows adjusting the unit price or currency of the part.
Example: you count 120 parts while the system shows 100; inventory allows you to correct the quantity.

2. Replenishment
- Adding parts to stock to reach or maintain the desired level.
- Typically done when stock reaches a critical threshold.
- Information entered includes quantity, date, and optionally the price.
Example: delivery of 50 additional parts to reach the defined minimum stock level.

3. Consumption
- When a part is used in an intervention (activity), stock is automatically decreased.
- If the intervention is canceled or a stock issue is reversed, stock is automatically adjusted (incremented).
- This automation ensures stock always reflects actual consumption.
Example: 3 parts used for an intervention → stock decreased by 3. Intervention canceled → stock increased by 3.
History of movements
- All stock movements are recorded in the movement history of each spare part, as well as in the task that consumed the spare part.
- Available information includes:
- Movement type (Inventory / Replenishment / Consumption)
- Date and time of movement
- User who performed the action
- Quantity modified
- Cost
- Allows precise tracking of stock changes and full traceability.
