# Inventory fields

> What the Track inventory, Current Stock and Reorder Level fields do — and what they deliberately do not do — in OneBooks.

OneBooks is not an inventory system. Purchases are expensed to **Cost of Goods Sold** when received, invoices post revenue, and no stock movement or stock valuation is calculated. The inventory fields on items are **reference information only**.

## Turn the fields on

**Settings → Invoice Settings → Inventory Tracking** shows the fields on the item form. It is off by default.

## What the fields do

![The item form with Track inventory, Current Stock and Reorder Level fields](https://docs.getonebooks.com/screenshots/en/items-new-inventory.webp)

- **Track inventory for this item** — shows a stock figure on the item.
- **Current Stock** — a number you type. Sales and purchases do **not** change it.
- **Reorder Level** — shows a **Low** badge on the items list when current stock is at or below it.

## What OneBooks does not do

- No stock deduction on invoices, no stock increase on purchases, no stock adjustments.
- No inventory asset on the balance sheet and no cost-of-sales calculation from stock.

If you hold significant closing stock across a period end, ask your accountant about a manual period-end journal entry against an inventory asset account — see [Journal entries](https://docs.getonebooks.com/accounting/journal-entries/).
