- [Create a warehouse](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/inventory/tutorials/create-warehouse.md): Create the Tooling Metrics warehouse record that represents your physical storage facility.
- [Set up a storage device](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/inventory/tutorials/set-up-storage-device.md): Create a cabinet or rack and configure its modules and storage locations.
- [Configure a warehouse access point](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/inventory/tutorials/configure-warehouse-access-point.md): Define the physical access zone where operators pick and restock tools.
- [Sync products to items](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/inventory/tutorials/sync-products-to-items.md): Create inventory item records from library products so Tooling Metrics can track their stock.
- [Create stock rules](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/inventory/tutorials/create-stock-rules.md): Set threshold and capacity quantities for items so Tooling Metrics can draft purchase requests automatically.

This series is for the **Inventory Controller**, who runs the warehouse, tracks stock levels, and keeps tools available. It takes about 45 minutes.

**Before you start:** finish the [Administration](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/admin/tutorials/) series, and have products in the Library to sync to items. Following the [Quickstart](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/start-here/quickstart/inventory/) demo instead of your own data? Use its storage device table, and save **Create stock rules** for the [Purchasing stage](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/start-here/quickstart/purchasing/), which has its own table of values.

**After this series:** the Purchaser starts the [Purchasing](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/purchasing/tutorials/) series.
