An inventory is a list of all the goods and materials held by your organization for future sale or use, in other words, a list of all those items held in stock. Using the Inventory functions you can control these goods and materials, trace their whereabouts and ensure you have the correct amount of each item available. At the implementation stage of your system, the Inventory Business Setup and Item Master will have been set up to enable you to use these functions fully. For example, details will have been specified as to how your inventory will be analyzed and the dates of periods you can post to. Items are stored in Inventory Storage Areas which consist of Locations, Warehouses and Zones which can each be assigned sets of storage characteristics such as temperature and size. The Movement Order Entry function is used to transfer items from one storage location to another, and to move them in and out of the inventory. You can record movements for a receipt where no order exists using Ad hoc Receipts. Read more on Inventory Module Write Comment (2 Comments)

The topics in this section follow the stages in the inventory process, which are as follows:
- Order Entry - the lines of the movement order are created.
- Order Confirmation - the lines of the movement order are confirmed as being correct.
- Picking - the goods detailed on the order line are printed on a picking list, so the order can be made up for dispatch to the customer. This is used for issues only.
- Pick Confirmation - when the goods have been picked, the order can be checked as being correct, or the amounts actually picked can be entered. These may differ from that originally ordered, for example, if the order has changed or if the full quantity ordered is not held in stock. This is used for issues only.
- Dispatch - the goods are ready for sending to the customer and a dispatch note is produced to accompany the order. This is used for issues only.
- Dispatch Confirmation - the customer has received the order, signed and returned the dispatch note. The amounts dispatched can then be confirmed on the system. This is used for issues only.
- Goods Receipt Entry/Matching - the goods are received and matched against the order line. This is used for receipts only.
- Goods Receipt Inspection - the goods are received and inspected. Specific inspection instructions can be defined using Inspection Codes Setup (INC). This is used for receipts only.
| You can set up your Inventory module to use some or all of these stages for different types of transactions if appropriate, and you can specify in which order they are to be carried out. See What are Movement Types? and Setting up Movement Types for more information on this functionality. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

What are Serial Numbers and Serial Number Formats?
Serial Numbers can be applied to items which you want to be able to trace through the processing functions in your system. For example, for perishable goods. You can define the format of these serial numbers using Serial Number Format Setup (SNFS). This enables you to specify the characteristics of up to four parts of a serial number. For example, you can define a prefix or suffix for a series of numbers, or the number of characters a user can enter. |
