Why does it say I have this many?
Stock Journey is MerchantPlay’s answer to the most annoying question in inventory. Every quantity change is recorded as a movement, and every movement keeps a link back to the operation that caused it.
Every number has a receipt behind it.
When a balance looks wrong, the useful question is not “what is the number?” but “what happened?” Stock Journey answers the second one.
- Receipts from purchase orders

History you can trust because it cannot be edited
Stock movements in MerchantPlay are append-only.
Nothing is rewritten
A movement is never edited or deleted once recorded. What happened stays on the record.
Mistakes are corrected forwards
Reversing a receipt writes an opposite movement. You can see both the error and the correction.
One history, every operation
Purchasing, selling, transferring and counting all write to the same ledger, so there is only one version of events.
Worked example
How a balance of 16 came to be. Every line names the document behind it.
