What Quantity Tracking Covers

Manage interchangeable items by count

Use location-wise quantities when the units are interchangeable and item-level history is unnecessary.

01

Asset type and quantity

Record how many interchangeable units you have under the relevant asset type.

02

Location balances

See the quantity held at a branch, store, department or other operating location.

03

Receiving context

Keep purchase, vendor and receiving records connected to stock entering the organization.

04

Quantity movements

Record movements so stock counts reflect transfers between operating locations.

05

Stock position reports

Review location-wise availability and quantities for planning and reconciliation.

The Workflow

Keep quantities current as stock moves

From receiving to location transfers, keep an operational record of where quantities are held.

Step 01

Define the asset type

Identify interchangeable items that should be managed by count rather than individual serial records.

Step 02

Receive the quantity

Record the received amount with its purchase and vendor context.

Step 03

Place stock

Keep quantities associated with the branch and operating location where they are held.

Step 04

Record transfers

Update source and destination quantities as stock moves between locations.

Step 05

Review the position

Use stock views and reports to see current quantities and location balances.

Step 06

Reconcile differences

Compare the recorded balance with a physical count and investigate discrepancies through your operational process.

Connected Records

See the stock behind each location balance

Review asset type, received quantities, location balances and movement context in connected stock views.

Operational Value

Keep bulk asset quantities visible across sites

Use quantity records when availability and distribution matter more than individual serial histories.

See stock by location

Understand how many units of an asset type are held across stores, departments and branches.

Avoid unnecessary unit records

Manage interchangeable items as quantities when individual serial numbers are not useful.

Make transfers clearer

Maintain a location balance as stock moves through operating sites.

Plan replenishment

Use current counts to identify where a team may need additional stock.

Support physical checks

Compare recorded quantities with actual stock and follow up on differences.

Use both tracking models

Manage bulk quantities alongside individually tracked serialized assets in AssetPrime.

Choose the Right Model

When should items be serialized?

Use a separate record for each physical unit when it needs its own custodian, maintenance or warranty history. Use quantities for interchangeable items managed by count and location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about quantity-based asset tracking

01

What is quantity-based asset tracking?

+

It is a way to manage interchangeable items by asset type, count and location instead of assigning a distinct identity to every physical unit.

02

Which items suit quantity-based tracking?

+

Items are good candidates when their quantity and location matter more than each unit’s individual custody, warranty or maintenance history.

03

How is it different from serialized tracking?

+

Serialized tracking maintains one record per physical unit. Quantity-based tracking maintains a count for an asset type at a location. AssetPrime supports both.

04

Can I view quantities across branches?

+

Yes. AssetPrime supports branch and location-wise stock visibility and stock position reporting.

05

What happens when stock moves to another location?

+

Record the stock movement so the quantity held at each relevant location can be reviewed against the transfer.

06

Can receiving be connected to quantity-based stock?

+

Yes. Purchase and receiving records provide context for stock entering the organization, including vendor traceability.
