Inventory Dimension

An Inventory Dimension adds a custom tag to stock movements, such as Shelf, Rack, Project or Vehicle, so the Stock Ledger can answer where within a warehouse the caps sit or which project consumed the cement, without creating a warehouse for every shelf. Once defined, the field appears on the item rows of receipts, deliveries and stock entries, and the Stock Balance and Stock Ledger reports can filter and group by it. Values can be made mandatory, and the system can enforce that issues come from a dimension that holds stock, like negative stock checks. It has no ledger effect; it enriches the stock ledger only.

1. 01Go to Stock > Inventory Dimension > New.
2. 02Type the dimension name and pick the Reference Document, for example a custom Shelf doctype.
3. 03Choose whether it applies to all stock documents or selected ones.
4. 04Tick Mandatory and Validate Negative Stock if issues must come from a stocked dimension.
5. 05Save. The field now appears on stock document rows.
6. 06Open Stock Balance and add the dimension filter to read stock by shelf or project.

Create under Stock > Inventory Dimension; the field then appears on stock documents.

Dimension Shelf, to know which rack holds the caps.
