# Adding a Stock Item

Stock items allow you to record the amount of stock you have and where its located. Stock is reduced as transactions are recorded, or manually adjusted. If the reorder level is hit or passed then an email is sent to the nominated administrator of the item.

          
          

If you intend to use Stock Items as a means of providing **free tickets**, there are additional settings that you will have to apply. For details, see: [Example Form for Booking Attendance](/v1/docs/example-form-for-booking-attendance)

To add a stock item:

1. If you have the Finance module, from the Navigation Menu select **Finance** then **Stock.**
2. If you **do not** have the Finance module and have the **Events** module, select **Events** then **Stock**.

          
          

You will need either the Finance or the Events module and the relative permissions in your role to access Stock.
