If something goes wrong
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Cannot add more products | Product limit on Basic/Medium — upgrade tier |
| Barcode scan does nothing | Click the search box first, then scan; press Enter |
| Lot / serial required | Enter Lot / Batch Number or serials before Save |
| Wrong stock after import | Open History, then correct with Stock adjust |
| Menu item missing under Stock Tools | Module or tier not enabled — Admin → Settings → Modules |
