There are two options:
Independent Qty — each property has its own stock quantity.
Shared Qty — multiple properties use the same stock quantity.
Important: Choose the Quantity Type carefully when creating the Stock Item. The selected Quantity Type applies to all assigned properties and cannot be changed later.
Independent Qty
Choose Independent Qty when each property manages its stock separately. Each property has its own available quantity, and changes made to one property's stock do not affect the stock of other properties.
Example
Suppose you have a Baby Crib Stock Item:
Property | Available Quantity |
Property A | 5 |
Property B | 8 |
Property A has 5 Baby Crib, while Property B has 8 Baby Crib.
If you add 2 Baby Crib to Property A:
Property | Available Quantity |
Property A | 7 |
Property B | 8 |
Only Property A's quantity changes. Property B remains at 8.
Shared Qty
Choose Shared Qty when multiple properties use the same stock pool.Instead of assigning a separate quantity to each property, you set one total available quantity that is shared by all assigned properties.
Example :
Suppose three properties share a total of 20 Additional Breakfast:
Property | Shared Stock |
Property A | 20 |
Property B | 20 |
Property C | 20 |
The 20 is the total shared stock, not 20 Additional Breakfast for each property.
If Property A reserves 5 Additional Breakfast, the remaining shared quantity becomes 15.
Shared Stock | Remaining Quantity |
Initial quantity | 20 |
Reserved by Property A | -5 |
Remaining | 15 |
The remaining 15 Additional Breakfast are then available to the properties sharing that stock.
What is the difference between Independent Quantity and Shared Quantity?
| Independent Qty | Shared Qty |
Stock quantity | Separate for each property | One quantity shared by all assigned properties |
Quantity setup | Set quantity per property | Set one shared quantity |
Stock update | Affects the selected property | Affects all active properties sharing the stock |
Best for | Properties with separate inventory | Properties using the same stock pool |
Important: The Quantity Type selected when creating the Stock Item cannot be changed later.
What happens when stock is updated?
The main difference is how the stock change affects other properties:
| Independent Qty | Shared Qty |
Stock quantity | Separate for each property | One shared quantity |
Property A changes stock | Only Property A is affected | All properties share the updated quantity |
Property B's quantity | Managed separately | Uses the same stock pool |
Best for | Separate inventories | Shared inventory |
