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.
