Stock Card (Bin Card) Template (Free Template)

A stock card, also called a bin card, tracks every movement of one product, recording what came in, what went out and the running balance. It tells you what should be on the shelf at any time.

The stock card is a continuous record of movements with a running balance. A stock take is a physical count at a point in time. You reconcile the two: the count should match the card.

The running balance shows when a product is approaching its reorder point, so you can order before you run out rather than discovering an empty shelf.

Manually, stock cards work for a small number of key products. For a shop with hundreds of items, a digital system keeps every running balance automatically, which is far more practical.

Veira maintains a live balance for every product as you sell and receive stock, so you get the benefit of a stock card for your whole catalogue without keeping cards by hand.
