# Item managed in stock
Interchangeable, serialized, or managed by batch number
## Context
The sales manager must enter three items into the catalog:
Paper bag, simple item not managed by batch/series, interchangeable
Bluetooth headset, managed by serial number
Latex glove, managed by batch number
Then, for each item, make stock entries to initialize the stock to 3 items each.
## Implementation in SIMAX
### Simple item creation
**Files > Item > Items**, **\[\[New]]** item, in **\[Logistics]**, leave **|Batch number required|** and **|Managed by serial number|** unchecked.
### Creating serialized items
**Files > Item > Items, \[\[New]]** item, in **\[Logistics]**, you will need to check **|managed by serial number |**.
### Creation of an item managed by batch number
**Files > Item > Items, \[\[New]]** item, in **\[Logistics],** you must check **|Batch number required|.**
### Manual stock entry and history
**Stock > Movements > Create manual movement**
You must specify who performed the movement, the type of movement for a stock entry is a manual entry, select the establishment and the arrival warehouse.
Then, we will add the movement lines and specify each item, quantity (Qty), entry value, use-by date (UBD), best-before date (BBD), batch/serial number, and location.
For items managed by serial number, one line will be required for each item in order to specify their serial number.
For items managed by lot number, if they belong to the same lot, we can group them together on a single line.
After recording the manual movement, we will be able to see that the stocks have been incremented in each stock record, **Stock > Stock status** (as movements involve verification and a specific entry order for consistent valuation, updating stocks may take a few seconds).
Movement histories can be found in **Stock > Movements > Movement history.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://doc.simax.fr/documentation-simax-anglais/functional/management-of-stock-and-logistics/item-managed-in-stock.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
