Finishing, Closing Out, Reopening and Moving a Lot

Setup HelpReviewed 2026-10-19

Summary

From Rostoc 0.4.8, every change to a Lot's stock is recorded with a reason.

  • Finish sets a Lot to zero. If the Lot still shows stock, Rostoc asks why and records one row that brings it to zero. That row reads Closed in the Lot's history. A difference of 100 g or less is routine, so Bag-end difference is already chosen. A Lot already at zero finishes at once.
  • Close out appears on a finished Lot that no longer reads zero, for example after a roast recorded on it after the finish (Roasted after finish). It records the row back to zero, and the Lot stays finished.
  • Reopen undoes the closing rows, so the Lot holds what it held before it was finished. Those rows read Reopened.
  • Adjust stock starts from a reason: Roast not recorded in Rostoc, Entered by mistake, Count or weighing, Sample or loss, New delivery, Moved to another lot, or Other (which needs your own words). A finished Lot cannot be adjusted, split or moved: reopen it first.
  • Move to another warehouse moves a whole Lot. Its stock does not change, and the history records it as Moved. Edit Lot shows the warehouse but no longer changes it.

Steps

  1. Open the Coffee Line, then find the Lot in its Lots table. Finished Lots are hidden until you turn on Show finished lots.
  2. Open the Lot's … menu, at the end of its row or at the right end of the Lot page's header.
  3. To finish it, choose Finish. If it asks why, choose a reason, add details if you want, and click Finish lot.
  4. To close out a finished Lot that reads off zero, choose Close out, choose a reason, and click Close out.
  5. To use a finished Lot again, choose Reopen.
  6. To correct stock on an open Lot, choose Adjust stock, enter the New Stock or the Weight Change, choose a Reason, and click Apply. For a new delivery, Rostoc offers Add a lot instead; for coffee moved between Lots, it offers Use split instead.
  7. To move a Lot, choose Move to another warehouse, pick the warehouse under Move to, and click Move lot. This item appears once you have more than one warehouse, and only on a Lot that is not finished.
  8. On Rostoc 0.4.7 or earlier, update Rostoc to get the reasons, Close out and Move to another warehouse. Until then:

Finish still works. The closing row reads "No reason given (older app version)".

Adjust stock on a finished Lot is refused, with "Reopen the lot first." shown as grey text in the dialog. Choose Reopen, then adjust.

A warehouse changed in Edit Lot is not saved, and goes back after a refresh. Move the Lot from Rostoc 0.4.8 instead.
