Stock maintainance is the function of understanding the stock mix of a company and the different demands on that stock. The demands are influenced by both external and internal factors and are balanced by the creation of Purchase order requests to keep supplies at a reasonable or prescribed level.

Stock management in the retail supply chain follows the following sequence: Request for new stock from stores to head office, Head office issues purchase orders to the vendor, Vendor ships the goods, Warehouse receives the goods, Warehouse stocks and distributes to the stores, Stores receive the goods, Goods are sold to customers at the stores. The management of the inventory in the supply chain involves managing the physical quantities as well as the costing of the goods as it flows through the supply chain.
