# Overview | ||
|
||
From the **Stock** page of the Solidus admin interface, you can view and manage | ||
the stock for all of your store's products. | ||
|
||
You can change the [**Stock On Hand**](#stock-on-hand) value for any | ||
[product][products] (or variant) in your store after selecting the **Edit** | ||
button next to it. | ||
|
||
Note that you can also [view stock in a product context][product-stock]. | ||
|
||
<!-- TODO: Add screenshot of the stock UI, emphasizing the edit buttons --> | ||
|
||
[product-stock]: ../products/product-stock.html | ||
|
||
## Stock information | ||
|
||
On the **Stock** page, you can see the following information about your stock | ||
items: | ||
|
||
- **Item**: Identifying information about the current item. This information | ||
includes the primary product image, the name, and the SKU of the item. | ||
- **Options**: If the current item is [a variant][variants] of a product, this | ||
details which variant it is. For example, which size and color the current | ||
item is. | ||
- **Stock Location**: The [stock location](#stock-locations) of the current | ||
item. | ||
- **Back orderable**: Sets whether the current item should be | ||
[backorderable](#backorderable) or not. | ||
- **Count On Hand**: The number of items that a stock location has of the | ||
current item. See [Count on hand](#count-on-hand) for more information. | ||
|
||
## Filter and search | ||
|
||
You can search for specific stock items. This makes locating stock information | ||
easier when you have hundreds or thousands of products. You can filter by the | ||
following values: | ||
|
||
- **Stock Location**: Choose one of your existing [stock | ||
locations](#stock-locations) to filter results by. | ||
- **Variant**: You can enter a product's SKU or [option value][option-values] to | ||
filter down your results. For example, you could enter a partial SKU to find | ||
a range of products that you know have similar SKUs. Or, you could enter | ||
"Yellow" to find all of the variants with a "Yellow" option value. | ||
|
||
Note that the **Variant** filter searches for option **Name** values | ||
as well as their **Presentation** values. For example, you may an option value | ||
with the name "Extra Large" that is presented as "XL" on your storefront. This | ||
means that you can search for either term and find the same results. | ||
|
||
## Stock locations | ||
|
||
Stock locations represent a location where your inventory is shipped from. For | ||
every stock location that you create, a complete set of stock items that | ||
represents your product collection is also created. | ||
|
||
For example, if your store only sells one product, but it ships the product from | ||
two stock locations, then you should have two items in the list of stock items | ||
on the **Stock** page. | ||
|
||
<!-- TODO: | ||
Add screenshot of two items that represent a single product on the Stock page. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Count on hand | ||
|
||
For each product you sell in your store, you can manage the **Count On Hand** | ||
value. You may have inventory for this product at multiple stock locations, and | ||
you can manage the count for each location. | ||
|
||
### Changing the count on hand value | ||
|
||
When you update the **Count On Hand** value for a stock item, be aware that you | ||
are resetting the count. | ||
|
||
For example, if your "T-Shirt" product has `5` in stock items and you received | ||
`15` new shirts from your supplier, you should update the **Count On Hand** | ||
value to `20`. |
