When to use this: Use this guide to control how batches are picked at billing, whether loose/strip sales are allowed, whether billing can go below zero stock, and when expiry alerts fire. Every field here saves the moment you change it — there is no separate Save step.
Opening Inventory Settings
- Click Settings (gear icon at the bottom of the left sidebar).
- Select Inventory.
Inventory
- FEFO Auto-Select (1): Automatically picks the batch expiring soonest (First-Expiry-First-Out) when billing, instead of the cashier choosing a batch manually.
- Allow Loose Sales (2): Lets a cashier sell individual units (e.g. single tablets from a strip) instead of only whole packs.
- Allow Negative Stock (3): Lets a cashier bill an item even when its recorded stock is at zero.
- Expiry Alert Days (4): How many days before a batch expires BitMed starts warning you about it (e.g.
90alerts 90 days ahead).
Each row tells you where its current value is coming from:
- Using the system default · Override — nobody has explicitly set this yet, at the org or the store; it's running on BitMed's built-in default. Click Override to give this store its own value.
- Overridden for this store · Use org default — this store already has its own value layered on top of the org setting. Click Use org default to drop the override and fall back to the org-wide value.
(An org-configured field with no store override instead shows Using org default — the org's own choice, distinct from BitMed's built-in default.)
