Stock Conversion
Stock Conversion turns one or more items you hold into one or more different items in stock. It consumes the parts you put in, creates the finished item that comes out, and carries the cost of the parts across onto the new item automatically — so nothing about your stock value goes missing along the way.
Think of it as the moment on your shelf where a box of loose components becomes a ready-to-sell kit, or a bulk sack becomes several small packs. You tell Bizconnekt what you built and how many; it does the rest of the counting.
Availability depends on your plan and your role.
When to use it
Reach for a Stock Conversion whenever the identity of your stock changes on the shelf — not just where it sits or how much you have.
| Situation | Why it's a conversion |
|---|---|
| Assembling a kit or bundle | Several items go in, one saleable kit comes out. |
| Repacking | One bulk item becomes several smaller units (or the other way around). |
| Simple make-to-stock | You build a finished item from its parts without any shop-floor steps to track. |
If you only need to move goods to another site, or fix a count that's wrong, those are different documents — see the Stores & Inventory overview.
How it reads your recipe: the BOM
A Stock Conversion follows a Bill of Materials (BOM) — the simple recipe that says "to make one of this finished item, you need these parts." You set the BOM up once on the finished item, and every conversion reuses it.
When you build, you:
- Pick the finished item (its BOM). This tells Bizconnekt which parts to consume.
- Set how many to build. Bizconnekt scales the recipe to match.
- Confirm where the parts come from and where the finished goods go.
Bizconnekt then takes the parts out of stock and adds the finished item in — with the cost carried across, so your books stay right without any manual maths.
Learn how to write a recipe in the Bill of Materials guide.
Is this "production"? Not quite — and that's the point
A Stock Conversion is for kitting: parts in, finished item out, in one clean step. There are no stages to move through, no shop floor to track, no work order to open. It's the fast way to build something whose recipe is simple.
A full, routed production job is a different thing — it walks a job through stages over time on the factory floor. Most businesses need both at different moments.
The plain-English difference is explained here: BOM vs Production Process. Read it once and you'll always know which one you want.
