Do not show as Inventory Stock Location

Tick this box if you don't want the user to be able to have stock assigned to them. This means the user won't appear in any Assign Stock To lists (e.g. on a Bill), or on any Take Stock From lists (e.g. on a Task). In addition, new inventory items cannot be assigned to the user and the user won't be selectable when moving stock between users and custom holders.

Need to move stock?

If the user currently holds stock, you can move all stock to another user or custom holder. See Item List and Stock Activity - Move all stock in bulk.
