When products are setup in MSCRM and the quantity on hand field is populated 
with a number, e.g. stock levels, should this be decreased when orders and/or 
invoices are assigned to that particular product? Does anyone use stock 
control callouts/workflow with MSCRM or should it achieve this out the box?

No function in this area Out of the box.  Need to consider ERP Integration, 
3rd Party Addon or SDK.

Good luck.

Crm does not employ any form of stock control. Any fields which look like 
stock control have to be update manualy. The idea behind the presence of 
these fields is that you want to use such functionality you just have to 
write the logic which updates the stock. But this isn't in the out-of-the-box 
version
