Selling stock is another inventory movement.
Counter sales, invoices and fulfilment all write to the same stock record as your purchasing and transfers — so outbound is never a separate system you have to reconcile at month end.
Outbound is part of the same system
However stock leaves, it leaves the same record.
Sales
Every sale records what left, from which location, on which receipt — and reduces the same stock balance you count against.
Invoicing
Raise and send invoices for customers who do not pay at the counter, with payments recorded against them.
Fulfilment
Issuing an invoice moves no stock. Stock leaves when you fulfil it, because a document can be raised long before the goods actually go.
Returns
Take goods back and choose whether they return to sellable stock. What comes back is recorded as its own movement.
One history
Sales, fulfilment and returns appear in Stock Journey beside receipts and transfers, in the same timeline.
Serialised lines
For serialised products, the exact units leave on the sale and the exact units come back on the return.
Issuing is not despatching
MerchantPlay deliberately separates raising an invoice from releasing the goods. Treating an issued invoice as stock out would take items off a shelf they are still sitting on. Invoices are fulfilled as a whole; partial fulfilment is not supported today.
