- Inventory Updates: Any changes in stock levels, such as dispensing or receiving products, result in automatic updates to the inventory items.
- Status Management: Inventory items can be marked as inactive to indicate that they are no longer actively dispensed, possibly due to damage or other concerns.
- Inventory Auditing: Regular audits can be conducted by reviewing the inventory items, their statuses, and quantities to ensure accurate stock management.
