Depo does not keep stock as one editable number on an item card. Every stock in or out is a movement, and on-hand stock is calculated from those movements. The location matters as much as the quantity.

Receive goods

Open the item and choose Stock In. Enter the quantity and the warehouse, shelf or bin where the goods will go. You may add unit cost, supplier and document reference. If you put boxes on shelf A1, do not record them at B2: the total may look right while the shelf is wrong.

Remove goods

For a sale or use, choose Stock Out, then the actual source location and quantity. Depo will not let you remove more than that location holds. If the item is on two shelves, record the out from the shelf you used. For a move within the business, use a Transfer instead.

After saving

Check the item total, the amount by location and the Activity history. If the amount was wrong, use a correcting movement so the original entry remains traceable.
