Inventory

Add stock with Intakes

Record incoming stock, assign prices and bins, and import batches.

The Intakes page records stock coming in. Optionally link an expense, add one or more batches, then import lots into inventory (and BrickLink / BrickOwl). Add lines with the batch editor. Requires Standard or Premium access, or an active Standard trial.

Follow along as we create an intake, add parts to a batch, review prices and bins, and check import results. The example import is cancelled to keep live stock unchanged.

  • Create an intake — Name the purchase and optionally attach an expense. The expense card shows amount, category, date, vendor, notes, and receipt.
  • Add batches — Quick-add lots. Price and location auto-fill from existing inventory when possible. Matching item, color, condition, and location merge into the existing lot; a different location creates a new lot.
  • Price defaults — Settings → Inventory → Intakes controls whether matching lots get a new unit price on import. Automatic prices use your pricing formulas. The active defaults are shown on the intake and batch pages.
  • Import — Requires inventory sync on and BrickLink Direct Edit off. Writes app inventory first. Lines that land in the app stay locked even if a marketplace push fails; retry those without adding quantity again. If a browser tab closes mid-import, reopen the batch to resume.
