Inventory Module

The Inventory Module is an optional feature that provides basic inventory functions. The features include:

• Receiving inventory and storing the location, quantity, and supplier.
• Tracking remaining inventory.
• Assigning inventory to a bill.
• Tracking which bills used inventory.
• Pick List report for retrieving items from their locations for a bill.
• Various inventory reports.
• Purging old inventory records.

Inventory is based on the items that have been set up in Predefined Carrier Information. This screen example depicts the ability of "drilling down" on an inventory item to show its inventory received history, and additionally drilling down to show the actual usage on bills. This could come in very handy on product recalls to locate where inventory from a specific shipment was delivered.
