[Stock Taking](https://support.kitchencut.com/inventory?hsLang=en#stock-taking) # Create Market List or Area Stock Take from Products This guide explains how to quickly build **Market Lists** and **Area Stock Take (AST)** templates by selecting products directly from your system.  --- ### Why This Feature Is Useful Many users prefer to build Market Lists and Stock Sheets based on how they physically move through the store, fridge, or cellar (e.g. left to right, top to bottom). Others may prefer more structured sorting — by supplier, alphabetically, or by product category. This method allows you to **bulk select** products and create **reusable templates** based on your preferred organisation style. --- ### 🛠️ How to Build a List from Products #### 1. Navigate to: `Suppliers > Products` --- #### 2. Filter the Product List Use the **search and filter tools** to narrow down the products you want to include. For example, you can: - Filter by **Supplier** - Sort by **Category** - Search specific product names or codes ![Screenshot 2025-07-15 at 10.17.59](https://support.kitchencut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-07-15%20at%2010.17.59.png?width=688&height=383&name=Screenshot%202025-07-15%20at%2010.17.59.png)Click **Search** once your filters are applied. --- #### 3. Select the Products Next to the **Code** column, use the **multi-tick icon** to select all visible products. You can also choose how many results to view using the dropdown in the top left: - 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, or 500 products at a time Manually tick or untick as needed.![Screenshot 2025-07-15 at 10.19.29](https://support.kitchencut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-07-15%20at%2010.19.29.png?width=688&height=419&name=Screenshot%202025-07-15%20at%2010.19.29.png) --- #### 4. Create Your List Once you’ve selected your products, scroll to the bottom right of the screen and open the: `Do with Selected` You’ll have the following options: - **Create Market List from Selected** – Builds a Market List from the chosen products - **Add Selected to Market List Template** - Allows you to add products to pre-existing Market list templates. - **Create AST List from Selected** – Builds an Area Stock Take template from the chosen products - **Add Selected to AST Template** - Allows you to add products to pre-existing AST templates. The items will appear in the same order they were selected. --- ### Adjusting the List After Creation Once your list is created, you can organise it further: - Click the arrows next to **column headings** to sort by: - Product name (alphabetically) - Supplier - Category **OR** - Use the **drag-and-drop bars** on the left side of each product line to manually reorder products These lists can now be saved and reused each time you conduct a stock take or generate orders. --- ### 💡 Best Practices - Use this shortcut to quickly build lists by supplier or category - Keep naming conventions consistent so lists are easy to identify - Review your list layouts periodically — operational workflows may change - Save frequently used lists as templates to avoid duplication of work - Create separate lists for high-volume areas (e.g. “Main Bar”, “Dry Store”, “Fridge 2”) for clearer stock control --- ### ❓FAQs **Can I create both Market Lists and ASTs from the same selection?** Yes — after selecting your products, you can choose either option from the dropdown. Repeat the process if you want to create both. **What’s the difference between Market Lists and ASTs?** - **Market Lists** are used for **ordering** - **ASTs** (Area Stock Takes) are used for **inventory counting** **Can I edit the list after it’s created?** Yes — products can be added, removed, and reordered within the list editor. --- ### 🆘 Need Help?
