Manufacturing inventory that shows what can actually be used
Inventory should tell the factory what can actually be used, not just what has physically arrived. In mosaicOne, stock is created only from quality-accepted receipts and held by material, batch, warehouse and bin — each lot linked to the supplier, PO, GRN and quality result it came from.
In short
How does mosaicOne manage raw material inventory?
In mosaicOne, inventory is posted from the quality result, not from the receipt. After a goods receipt is inspected, the accepted quantity is posted as available stock under its batch number, warehouse and bin. Material still waiting for inspection stays in the quality queue, and rejected quantity never enters stock. The inventory list shows each material’s available quantity and batches; each material’s detail shows every batch with its location, source documents and stock movements.
From accepted quantity to usable, traceable stock
Quality accepts
QA records the accepted quantity for a received lot.
Posted to stock
The accepted quantity becomes available stock at the GRN’s warehouse and bin.
Balance by material
Available quantity and number of batches for each material.
Batch detail
Batch, warehouse, bin, quantity and links to its source documents.
Label the lot
Print QR or Code 128 labels for the physical material.
Trace it
Follow any batch back to its supplier and purchase order.
Why it matters
What stores and production can know
- How much of a material is available, and in which batches
- Where each batch is kept: warehouse and bin
- That the balance counts only material quality has released
- Which supplier, PO, GRN and quality result each batch came from
- What is still due from suppliers, from each purchase order’s pending quantity
Material availability
Arrived, waiting, usable and on order are different quantities
A single stock figure hides what matters on the shop floor. mosaicOne keeps the quantities apart: accepted stock is in inventory; received material waiting for inspection is in the quality queue; rejected quantity stays on the GRN and QA records; and what is still due from suppliers is the pending quantity on each purchase order.
Each figure is kept as its own record — in inventory, the quality queue and each PO’s receipt tracking. Bringing them together into one availability check against a production order is what the production module adds next.

Stock visibility
Stock by batch and location, with its source attached
The inventory list shows each material’s total and available quantity and how many batches it is held in. Open a material to see every batch: its warehouse and bin, quantity, links to the supplier, purchase order, GRN and QA record it came from, and its recent stock movements.
Plants, warehouses and bin locations are set up as masters, and the warehouse and bin are recorded when goods are received, so stores does not maintain a separate location register.
Lot labels
Label the physical lot
Any batch in stock can be printed as a QR code or Code 128 barcode label on A4 sticker sheets and stuck on the bag, coil, drum or pallet, so the material on the floor points back to its record. Labels and scanning are covered on the traceability page.

Questions
Inventory: frequently asked questions
4 answers from the mosaicOne team
Still have a question?
Connect with us now!
When does received material become stock in mosaicOne?
Only after quality inspection. A goods receipt records what arrived; the accepted quantity from QA is posted to inventory. Rejected quantity is recorded against the GRN and purchase order for return to the supplier.
Where does material waiting for inspection appear?
In the quality queue. Inventory holds only stock that quality has released, so the balance stores and production see is material they can actually use.
Can stock be tracked by location?
Yes. Plants, warehouses and bin locations are configured as masters, and each batch in inventory carries the warehouse and bin recorded at receipt.
Where can I see material still due from suppliers?
On each purchase order, as the pending quantity per line. Bringing usable stock, material at QA and pending orders together into one view for a material is part of the production module being built next.
