--- title: Inventory slug: help/en-us/feedcomp/inventory docTags: createdAt: 2026-03-13T16:27:04.956Z --- Inventory in FeedComp lets you track feed ingredients, record inventory transactions, and monitor supply levels across your dairy. Inventory data is shared between the mobile app and FeedComp on PULSE to keep on-hand amounts, ingredient costs, and transaction history accurate and up to date. See [On-Hand Amount](docId\:JRUFLe8CxLmMvYL6UM0es) to learn more. From the mobile app, inventory is managed through the **Adjustments** screen, where you can record deliveries, pickups, and physical inventory adjustments. Ingredient costs are tracked with every delivery and adjustment, giving you a running view of what each ingredient is costing your operation over time. In PULSE (Web), the Inventory page provides an overview of ingredient inventory, transaction history, and vendor information, helping you identify usage trends and ingredients that may need to be reordered. :::hint{type="success"} 🗒️ **NOTE:** Only ingredients with location tracking enabled are included in your Inventory. Tracking begins when inventory is added to a location, ensuring stock levels are continuously monitored. See [Manage Ingredient Locations](docId\:SzGxeeYibtCpM2sMkDST3) to learn more about enabling tracking. ::: ## Inventory Tracking FeedComp continuously monitors stock levels for tracked ingredients. As feedings are completed, usage transactions are automatically created and on-hand amounts are updated accordingly. Deliveries, pickups, and manual adjustments also update inventory in real time. Amounts are displayed in pounds or kilograms based on the unit of measure specified in your [Dairy Info](docId\:uM11ovtjCE3ar8QN7O4P2) and [User Account](docId\:NciftY4cXspT1jMF9vRAA) settings. ## Low Inventory Indicators FeedComp uses color-coded indicators to help you quickly identify ingredients that are running low. **Card header colors (PULSE)** | **Color** | **Meaning** | | --------- | ------------------------------- | | Green | More than 30-day supply on hand | | Yellow | 7 to 14 days on hand | | Red | 0 to 6 days on hand | **Detail banner colors (mobile app)** | **Color** | **Meaning** | | --------- | --------------------------------- | | Yellow | Less than a 30-day supply on hand | | Red | Less than a 15-day supply on hand | On PULSE, if any ingredient has less than 30 days remaining, a **Low Inventory** banner displays at the top of the Overview page. Select **Filter** on the banner to quickly limit the list to low inventory items. In the mobile app, a **Low Inventory** banner appears on the Inventory/Vendors screen showing the count of items running low (e.g., "Low Inventory (13 items)"). Tap the banner to view a scrollable list of just those items. ## Days Left The **Days Left** value indicates the estimated number of days before an ingredient's on-hand amount is depleted at its current usage rate. If the value is less than 15 days, the ingredient displays in **red**. A dash ("-") is displayed in Days Left when: - No scheduled feedings use the ingredient at the listed location, or - The ingredient's on-hand amount for the location is negative. A negative on-hand amount can occur when feedings generate usage transactions that exceed the available stock — for example, when tracking is enabled but delivery or adjustment transactions were not recorded before feedings were completed. See [On-Hand Amount](docId\:JRUFLe8CxLmMvYL6UM0es) to learn more. ## Transaction Types FeedComp uses four transaction types to track inventory changes. Recipes and feedings are updated automatically when transactions are created or when the DM% of an ingredient changes. :::hint{type="success"} 🗒️ **NOTE:** See [Target DM and Feeding Amounts](docId\:OQ0oTVokVO520FsFAclLY) to learn how dry matter values affect feeding calculations and feeding goals. ::: | **Type** | **Description** | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Delivery | The delivery of an ingredient purchased for daily feedings. FeedComp processes inventory updates using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) rule when stock remains, or updates inventory values directly when no stock remains. | | Pickup | The pickup of an ingredient no longer needed and sold off-farm. Follows the same FIFO processing rules as deliveries. See [Weighbacks](docId:99PRuQwA3SYYDqvsWgcvw) to learn more. | | Physical Inventory Adjustment | A manual change or correction to match actual on-hand inventory. FeedComp resets the inventory and updates the on-hand amount, DM%, and cost. Adjustment transactions are also created automatically when you turn tracking on or update the on-hand amount, DM%, or AF cost for a tracked ingredient. | | System | A system-generated transaction that sets the on-hand inventory to zero when tracking is turned off for an ingredient location. System transactions cannot be edited or deleted. | | Usage | The ingredient amount used in daily feedings. FeedComp creates usage transactions automatically as ingredients are fed. These transactions are only visible on the web when the **Show Usage** filter is checked. See [Filler Loads](docId\:ILHxL4cBI-ZOdWfOatzkL) to learn more. | ## Offline Mode (Mobile App) FeedComp supports working in offline mode in the mobile app. If you see a **No connection** message, you can continue creating transactions, updating ingredients, and performing other tasks. All changes are saved locally and applied automatically once your device is back online. See [Mobile Connection Status](docId\:FxNZd3CEKRxoJ8TtHG0mM) to learn more. ## Managing Ingredients For step-by-step instructions, see the following pages: - [View and Search Inventory](docId\:bN4GMX4XRQ4gZt2zx1gni): Browse inventory, filter and sort, and view ingredient details - [View Transaction Details](docId\:wlyK2l31So3fKLX9lB_i-): View transaction information by type - [Create a Transaction](docId\:fefPjUZmt0HT4NH0l_Aus): Record deliveries, pickups, and physical inventory adjustments - [Edit or Delete a Transaction](docId:_u5DJmbfxA9oh0ekIe6QU): Modify or remove transactions (PULSE only) For vendor management, see [Vendors](docId\:Un-HdsrHx9jjizeGJRPZl).
