Navigating Peasy
Peasy is organized around the way you work — buying, receiving, making, and selling. Everything you need is in the sidebar on the left side of your screen.

The sidebar is your main way to get around. It's divided into five sections that match your workflow:
Inventory
Track what you have on hand.
- Count — Do inventory counts and see what needs counting
- History — View a log of all inventory changes
- Transfer — Move items between locations quickly
- Transfer Orders — Create formal transfer orders between locations
Buy
Manage your purchasing.
- Items — The items you buy from vendors
- Vendors — Your suppliers and their contact info
- Purchase Orders — Orders you send to vendors
- Bills — Invoices you've received from vendors
Receive
Track incoming orders.
- Pending — Orders on their way that haven't arrived yet
- Received — Orders that have been checked in
Make
Production and assembly (if you make products).
- Templates — Recipes or assembly instructions for things you produce
- Work Orders — Scheduled production runs
Sell
Manage your sales.
- Customers — Your customer list
- Orders — Sales orders and invoices
- Catalog — Your product catalog that customers can browse
Red Badges
You'll notice small red numbers on some items in the sidebar. These are action badges — they tell you something needs your attention:
- A number on Count means items need to be counted
- A number on Items (under Buy) means you're running low and should reorder
- A number on Pending means orders are on their way
- A number on Bills means new bills have come in
- A number on Templates means some recipes have ingredient gaps
- A number on Work Orders means work orders are due
Think of these as your to-do list — they help you know what to focus on next.
Quick Search (Cmd+K)
Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) to open the search bar. From here you can:

Home Page
Your home page is your daily dashboard. It shows:
- Quick action buttons — Shortcuts to buy items, receive orders, schedule work orders, and invoice customers
- Replenishment summary — A look ahead at what you need to buy, receive, or make
- Tasks and notes — Any tasks due in the next few days
- Inbox — Unprocessed items like incoming emails or documents
Flags
Click the flag icon near the top of the sidebar to see your flags. These show you items that need attention:
- Buy — Items running low that you need to purchase
- Make — Products you need to produce
- Pending — Items currently on order that are coming in
- Count — Items due for an inventory count
- Snoozed — Flags you've set aside for later
You can filter flags by type to focus on what's most relevant, and snooze flags you don't need to act on right now.
