# How to Manage Inventory

Managing your inventory helps you keep track of ingredient stock and automatically deduct ingredients as products are sold. Before inventory can update automatically, you'll need to add your ingredients and connect them to your products using recipes. Lets focus first on adding the ingredients to the system!

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in to the Munchi Dashboard">
    Log in to [**dashboard.gomunchi.com**](http://dashboard.gomunchi.com).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Inventory section">
    From the left sidebar, click **Inventory** to view your ingredient list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new ingredient">
    Click **+ Add Ingredient** in the top-right corner.

    Enter the ingredient details and the quantity you currently have in stock, then save it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add all of your ingredients">
    Repeat this process until you've added all of the ingredients you want to track in inventory and link to your products.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update stock levels">
    Once an ingredient has been created, it will remain in your inventory list.

    When you receive a new shipment, simply edit the ingredient and increase its stock quantity instead of creating a new ingredient.
