Item Maintenance

The Item Maintenance window is the foundation of the Inventory Control module. From this window you can view detailed physical and pending item counts, all the way down to the aisle and bin, for multiple warehousing locations. This window also provides detailed historical data, costing data, and vendor information, such as pricing history and ordering requirements.

Physical Inventory 

The Physical Inventory batch process is used to update inventory figures through physical counts. This process includes options to generate and print customized inventory worksheets, import automated counts from hand-held devices, and print reports that compare current inventory levels to the new physical inventory counts.

Inventory Transactions

The Inventory Transactions batch process is used to generate manual inventory transactions. This process can be used to receive items, issue items, transfer items to other locations, return items to stock, and return items to the supplying vendor.

Set Reorder and Build To

The Set Reorder and Build To batch process is used to update reorder and build to levels based on historical usage. The system looks at the total number of inventory items issued during a specified date range and calculates when and how many inventory items should be ordered.

Reorders

The Reorder process is used to generate inventory item reorders. When used with the Set Reorder and Build To process, the Reorders process can effectively maintain inventory levels established by historical data. This process can also ensure that cost effectiveness by comparing vendor pricing history and providing numerous ordering options.
