# How Can I Keep Track of Seeds, Fertilizer, and Crop Protection Stock?

You keep track by registering each input as a record with unit, current quantity, minimum level, batch, and expiry date, and by updating the quantity every time an input is received or applied. On **Jestor**, this runs through an inputs **table** with alerts for low stock and expiry.

Farm inputs are bought in large quantities, often before the season, and stored in several places. Without a clear record, some products expire unused, others run out at the worst moment, and nobody knows how much remains.

## What untracked input stock costs

- Planting delayed because seeds or fertilizer ran short
- Products expiring in storage and being wasted
- Urgent purchases at higher prices
- Duplicate buying because nobody knew what was in the warehouse
- Inputs used without being charged to the right field

## How input stock tracking works

- Each input is a **record** with unit, quantity, batch, and expiry date
- Receipts add to the stock, and applications subtract from it
- Items below the minimum are flagged automatically
- Expiring products appear in a list for early use

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Shortages and waste become visible before they cost money
- Usage is linked to fields, so costs are assigned correctly
- Purchases can be planned from real balances
- This scales from one warehouse to several farms
