What actions can increase or decrease the stock of a composite item in Zoho Inventory?

Actions that increase the stock of a composite item

• Entering an Opening Stock: If you already have some stock on hand at the time of creating the composite item, then you can enter the value in the opening stock field. This will increase the availability of the composite item and will not affect the stock of the associated items.

When you bundle the associated items, the stock on hand of that composite item goes up and the stock of the associated items decreases based on the number of bundles created. Know how.
