# Stock Balances

> How much of each product you have right now, per location.

**Stock Balances** is a read-only, real-time view of exactly how much of each stock-tracked product you have, per location, and what it's worth. Every purchase, sale, adjustment, transfer, and count updates this instantly — there's nothing to configure here, it's purely a report.

  Filter and search to narrow this down to a specific product or location — useful when checking "do we have enough of X at Branch 2 right now?" before promising it to a customer.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why doesn't a product show up here at all?">

  <Accordion title="How is the cost/value calculated?">
    Using FIFO (first-in, first-out) costing — the value reflects what you actually paid for the specific units still on hand, based on your purchase history, not a manually-set price.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where can I see the full history of how a balance got to its current number?">
