Stockbook automatically generates a unique Batch Number for your product.  We strongly recommend that you enter the Batch number located on the product packaging.
When you enter the cost of purchase, every time you treat an animal with this product, Stockbook applies a treatment cost to the animal which will be a fraction of the purchase cost.
To maintain your chemical inventory, you can do a stocktake event or a Finished/Disposal event. When a product is used up, it is marked as "Used" and remove from the active inventory list.
If you wish to view used chemicals on the Products screen, click "Include Used". The "Used" products will show up as blue.
