The '''Sto<s>n</s>cks''' screen, accessible via the '''[[Status]]''' screen, is a careful record of your fort's entire inventory, managed by the [[bookkeeper]], who, periodically, must update the [[stockpile]] records depending on how quickly your fort's [[wealth]] is growing or being depleted.

==Layout==
The Stocks screen displays a list of product categories on the left side of the screen.  Next to those categories is the total number of objects you have that fit within that category, split into first column (grey): number available or in use normally, and second column (red): number of restricted or uncollected items (read more below), both adding up to the total number on the map. In v0.44.01, the stocks screen was sorted alphabetically (the prior arrangement is shown below).

==Bookkeeping & precision==

Precision determines how well your dwarves are keeping count of all your items.  Items are grouped into general categories - for instance, all hand weapons, crossbows and picks are "weapons".  The biggest is typically "stones" - all stones you have mined out are included in one category, and viewable by specific type only if your level of accuracy is adequate for that number; anything less, and you will only have a rough total, no ability to view or manipulate the individual items.

The precision of the Stocks screen depends on the settings of the [[bookkeeper]] [[noble]]. (Use {{k|n}} {{k|s}} to access that screen.) Precision affects three factors - the time spent at that labor (more precision takes more time), the number of significant figures (see immediately below), and whether the Inventory is active or unavailable for a given item type (see Inventory, bottom).  

There are five possible settings:

; Lowest Precision
: This is the default setting, precise only to one significant figure.  It's only fine for your initial embark until you feel you need the Inventory feature, below, and have time to designate a [[chair]] ''(perhaps in your first [[dining room]], at least to start)'' as an [[office]]/study.
:*Any number from 0 to 9 will be exact.  Inventory is available only for categories with 9 items or less.
:*A number from 10 to 99 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
:*A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10,000.

; Low Precision
: This setting is precise to two significant figures.  This is fine for a starting fortress, since few will have over 99 of most items, stone being the usual first exception.
:*Any number from 0 to 99 will be exact. Inventory is available only for categories with 99 items or less.
:*A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.

; Medium Precision
: This setting is precise to three significant figures.  This is a good and practical level to maintain stockpile records at for an early fort, since typically stones are the only item that will number over 999 in the first years. (Note that although you have many types of stone, it is the total that matters for any one such category.)
:*Any number from 0 to 999 will be exact.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 10. Inventory is available only for categories with 999 items or less.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 100.

; High Precision
: This setting is precise to four significant figures, ample for most needs.  This setting is most useful for managing stone (like forbidding one type entirely).  Eventually other items, like food or drink, could grow to be in this range as well, depending on play style.
:*Any number from 0 to 9,999 will be exact. Inventory is available only for categories with 9,999 items or less.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10.

; Highest Precision
: This setting is perfectly and completely precise for any number of items in any category.  All stockpile records will be exact.  Inventory available for all items and all categories, regardless of number. 
:Maintaining stockpile records at this level starts out as a full-time job but becomes easier to maintain once that level is achieved.

If a number has been rounded, it will appear with a trailing question mark and will be displayed in brown instead of light grey (for instance, "20?" instead of "17").  Above the lowest precision, your [[bookkeeper]] requires a meager office, and for every level of precision, he or she will spend more time there updating the stock record.

==Inventory==

The left side of the window shows categories of items and the quantity of items in that category; if you do not have enough [[bookkeeper]] precision, it only shows approximate amounts. Numbers in white indicate how many are available for use, while numbers in orange indicate those already in use.

When you select a category you will see an inventory display on the right side of the window. No matter the level of precision, this shows all items in that category with buttons to interact with them; hovering over a button shows its function in the mini-map.

The items on the right side are further grouped by type, click the first line of any group to collapse or expand that group. The first line also provides buttons to interact with the entire group.

====Bracketing====
In addition to items being bracketed to indicate their [[Item_quality|quality]], there are certain symbols that will bracket an item to indicate that it's different from normal.

* Bracketing with '''<code>(round brackets)</code>''' indicates that the item was not produced by your dwarves.  This includes all items you start the game with, all items [[immigration|immigrants]] bring with them, and all items belonging to [[caravan|traders]] and [[siege|invaders]]. You can make an item count as being produced by your dwarves either by transforming it into something else (like turning a [[log]] into a [[bed]]) or by [[decoration|decorating]] it.
* Bracketing with '''<code>{curly brackets}</code>''' indicates that the item is forbidden.
* Bracketing with '''<code>xcrossesx</code>''' or '''<code>Xcapital crossesX</code>''' or '''<code>XXdouble capital crossesXX</code>''' indicates that the item is partially [[wear|worn out]]. This applies mainly to [[clothing]] that's wearing out, [[food]] that's going rotten, and [[building]]s that are being attacked by [[building destroyer]]s.
* Bracketing with '''<code>‼double exclamation marks‼</code>''' indicates that the item is on [[fire]].

==Item Categories==
The Items seem to fall into two main categories for the numbers in the Stocks, and its modes:

* '''Available Items''' (Gray Number): includes items ready to be used.
** In-transit items count to stock levels, but are not usable to build with. (i.e. a bed in transit shows as available in the stock menu, but is not usable when trying to place a bed) 
* '''Restricted Items''' (Red Number): includes items not ready to be used like:
** Dump / Melt items 
** Forbidden items:
*** These are marked with a yellow F
*** In the '''Compacted View''' a brown F indicates only some items in the stack are forbidden.
*** Items in caverns start forbidden:
**** Preserved meat
**** Prepared meat
**** Fish
**** Leather
** Built Items: ''almost'' everything marked as "B" if seen using {{k|t}}, or everything that was used to create a building:
*** Built Furniture: doors, beds, thrones, chairs, tables, floodgates, cages, etc.
*** Traps
*** Building materials: stones, blocks, anvils, etc.
** Construction Materials: used in walls, floors, etc.
** '''Unclaimed Items''': these are not shown in the '''Compacted View''' and are marked as "B" if seen using {{k|t}}, although they weren't used to create the building:
*** Unharvested Crops: plants grown in the farm plot, are marked as "B" until collected.
*** Planted Seeds: these are put into the farm plot, are marked as "B" and then become full grown plants.
*** Contents of a [[Hive]] with an installed colony of [[honey bee]]s: the royal jelly and the honeycomb are marked "B" until collected, the bees themselves are marked "B" as soon as the colony is installed. All these "items" will be listed with red numbers in the main stocks screen.
** '''Not Owned by fort''':
*** Uncollected webs in caverns

The modes:
* '''Compacted View''': shows:
** Available Items
** Restricted Items with the exception of:
*** Unclaimed Items
* '''Detailed View''': shows everything

==Forbidding and dumping==

Items can be [[forbid|forbidden]] and [[Garbage dump|dumped]] from the Stocks screen, either individually or en masse for every item of the same type. When using the group commands, items currently built in buildings/constructions are not marked.

Due to a bug, a group of items cannot be forbidden if any one of the items is both built in a building/construction and forbidden.{{bug|5734}} If you unforbid the group, then manually unforbid the remaining items using the detail view you should be able to forbid the entire group again. 

==Lag warning==

''Warning:'' A mature fort with large numbers of individual items (5,000+) in any particular category (e.g. Stones) can experience significant lag when that category is selected.{{bug|10025}} You can use the "page up" and "page down" keys to skip past problematic categories.

==Enhanced view==

The utility [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] provides an enhanced stocks view (default {{key|e}}) that allows grouping, filtering based on item properties, and marking for trade at depot. While not the most straightforward interface, this menu can be incredibly powerful and save you many repetitive keypresses. For example, to order all unowned items with wear be brought to the depot for trade: {{key|ctrl}}+{{key|o}}, {{key|W}}, {{key|A}}, {{key|T}}.
