When someone picking an order taps Not availableon an item they can't find, that usually means the on-hand number is wrong: the system says you have it, the shelf is empty. Stokk pulls that stock out of sellable inventory right awayso it can't oversell, and lists it under Stock discrepancies for a manager to finish.
A picker isn't writing stock off — the item is moved to a holding (Adjustments) location, which is reversible. Deciding what really happened is done here by someone with Warehouse access.
Each flag shows the item, what the system thought was on hand, the order it came from, who flagged it, and (for a replacement) the substitute given. The stock is already out of sale, so you're just settling the number:
Resolved flags don't vanish. The Historytab lists everything handled — the outcome (confirmed empty, counted to a number, or restored), who did it, and when. It's your running “how many issues this month” view.
For DK, the pulled stock is transferred into a dedicated Adjustments warehouse (set the code under Integrations). Because Stokk corrects the sellable number instantly, that's where the running total of unresolved issues sits. A manager zeros out the Adjustments warehouse in DK periodically (say, monthly) to book the net loss or gain. If no Adjustments warehouse is set, Stokk falls back to posting an inventory count instead.
Refunds for online orders are handled in Shopify. Open the order from the flag (or from Online orders) and refund or edit it there. Stokk's job here is keeping your stock count honest.
