New → Items and Stock is where a school starts. Set up item categories and locations, then add items and record stock receipts. Issue and return stock through the stock screen so the ledger stays accurate. Register durable assets separately, assign custody, print labels and schedule maintenance. Review pending approvals and low-stock reports before ordering more. Finance posting needs its configured approval and account workflow.
If New or this module is missing, ask EDUBase support to check your institute’s module availability. If the module appears but a screen or action is denied, ask your school administrator to check the matching privilege in Admin → Users & Privileges.
The New menu is between General and Core. It appears only when the institute has an enabled new module, and lists only enabled modules. Staff privileges still control access.
