Where can I view the stock mutations?

From Extra > Stock > Stock List you can click to go to the Stock List History page for this product. This page will show when there was a change in the stock quantity of this product, which batch it refers to, who made change, what the reason was for the change, and whether the product was incoming or outgoing.
