Track inventory used on jobs then invoiced in different quantities

How do we track inventory taken by service agents and used on jobs, then invoiced in different quantities to the customer?

Hi @kabendajem 

Welcome to the Seller Community and thanks for writing in with this question! 

Can you let us know a bit more about how you'd ideally like to use the inventory feature in your business? I'm not sure if this is something you can do with Square, but would like to check with our product team, so the more detail you can provide about how you operate, the better. 

I'll keep an eye out for your reply 🙂

Thanks Arie, the business is a swimming pool shop that services/cleans swimming pools & sells swimming pool supplies. The serviceman takes pool cleaning products & accessories from the inventory stock as he needs, to use in different quantities for pool cleaning/servicing & it is invoiced to the customer in differing quantities as required. So the stock is being partially picked up during invoicing but our stock count is continually having to be adjusted?

How do we correct this?

Thank you for clarifying @kabendajem! 

Right now, you'd have to manually adjust stock for this scenario. Unless the products and accessories are included in the invoices, or sold at the point of sale app, they won't be deducted from the stock at hand.
