Van stock

The van stock is the set of all the parts you carry with you. This page explains how to view it from the Technician App, check availability and report a shortage before it blocks a job.

The stock updates itself automatically: it decreases with every part used on a job and increases when the manager restocks you from central inventory.

Van stock: parts available in the vehicle, quantities and alert thresholds.
