## Stock Status

Stock status serves at categorizing and identifying the state of stock items.

Below is the current list of stock status and their proposed meaning:

| Status      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| OK      | Stock item is healthy, nothing wrong to report       |
| Attention needed   | Stock item hasn't been checked or tested yet       |
| Damaged   | Stock item is not functional in its present state        |
| Destroyed   | Stock item has been destroyed        |
| Lost   | Stock item has been lost        |
| Rejected   | Stock item did not pass the quality control standards        |
| Returned   | Stock item was returned to seller (if bought) or is a customer return (if sold)        |

Stock status code will remove the stock from certain operations. For instance, users can't add "destroyed" or "lost" stock to a sales order.
 
The stock status is displayed as a label in the header of each stock item detail page, for instance here the stock status is "OK":

{% with id="stock_status_label", url="stock/stock_status_label.png", description="Stock Status Label" %}
{% include 'img.html' %}
{% endwith %}

{% endwith %}
