# Stock & Inventory overview

> Track stock, handle supply and purchase requests, and order from suppliers in one app

**Stock & Inventory** is Relyant's app for consumables and procurement. You use it to track stock across storage locations, let staff request supplies, raise purchase requests, send purchase orders to suppliers, and receive goods back into stock.

## Open the app

Each Relyant app runs on its own subdomain. Stock & Inventory is served on the `inventory` subdomain, for example `inventory.on.relyant.app`, and opens on its home screen.

To switch to it from another app:

**1. Open the app switcher**

Click the grid icon (**Apps**) in the top bar.

**2. Choose Stock & Inventory**

Click **Stock & Inventory**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The app only appears when your organization has it turned on and your role can read at least one of inventory, supply requests, purchase requests, purchase orders, or suppliers. If you open the URL without that access, Relyant sends you back to the hub.

## Home screen

The home screen shows tiles in two sections:

* **Requests & Orders** — **Supply Requests**, **Purchase Requests**, **Purchase Orders**, and **Approvals**
* **Manage** — **Inventory**, **Suppliers**, **Reports**, and **Settings**

Tiles show a badge when items are waiting for you, such as pending supply requests or approvals.

## Sidebar sections

| Section | Items |
| - | - |
| *(top)* | **Home**, **Approvals** |
| **Requests** | **Supply Requests**, **Purchase Requests** |
| **Purchasing** | **Purchase Orders**, **Suppliers** |
| **Stock** | **Inventory**, **Settings** |
| **Insights** | **Reports** |

On a phone, tap the menu icon to open the sidebar. The bottom bar gives quick access to **Home**, **Inventory**, **Supply**, **Orders**, and **Settings**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You only see items for modules your organization has turned on and that your role can read. **Supply Requests**, **Purchase Requests**, and **Purchase Orders** (with **Suppliers**) are separate modules. **Settings** appears when you can view at least one of its pages.

## How the pieces fit together

1. Staff raise a **supply request** to take items that are already in stock.
2. When stock needs topping up, staff raise a **purchase request**.
3. Approvers decide supply and purchase requests in **Approvals**, and purchase orders too when a workflow requires approval.
4. An approved purchase request becomes a **purchase order** for a supplier.
5. When the delivery arrives, you **receive goods**, which adds stock to your inventory.
