Features and Functions of the Inventory Management System

The module helps you to access data for important metrics like products stocked, location, total inventory value, inventory movement, and stock position (in hand, on order, scheduled for production and committed for sales). The module is further categorized into two sub-modules.

1. Perpetual Inventory

Takes care of purchase, manufacturing, and selling cycles to maintain an accurate record of each item stocked with filters like “items available to sell,” “quantity on hand,” “items scheduled to be received from vendor purchases and manufacturing units,” and “items scheduled to ship.” The inventory is further broken down into different lots that require lot controls and bins to help you locate items at picking and put-away time. Various cost elements, including the average cost of stock in hand, are also included.

2. Physical Inventory

Generates information for actual items count, values the counts, and compares the count with pre-count records to identify instances of shrinkage or validation of proper counts. You can set up counts for high movers, item classes, and other filters so that you can improve your inventory stock on hand for items that are indispensable for your business.

Use of handhelds and tablets allow easy entry of stock counts.  Entries are updated in the backend. This access to the backend database avoids the need for stock counters to go back to the office to verify their work.
