Overview
The INVENTORY application works closely with Suppliers in the A/P application and with the Manufacturing application. The Inventory application may not be complete or totally functional.
The start screen of the Inventory Application.
The Inventory application lets you enter and edit information about your stock, where you keep it, how you shuffle it around. It will also help track single serialized items for insurance or warranty purposes.
- Stock List- Stock Items or Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) are the parts a manufacturer uses to build its products or the items that a retailer sells. The Stock List is the essence and basis of the entire inventory module and so must be well thought out and organized.
- Locations handles multiple factories, warehouses, distribution centers, branches, offices, or stores.
- Move Stock is a function for stock transfer from one location to another
- Controlled Stock is serialized stock, stock items with a serial number to identify each individual unit; this section is for tracking one particular part (such as an electric motor) or one particular finished product (such as a car).
Depending on your level of permission, you may not be able to access the Inventory section or you may not be able to do more than view (read) some sections or reports. This description is for the person with full access.
