Managing Inventory within a Warehouse

Managing Inventory within a Warehouse

Managing Inventory within a Warehouse is an optional module. EBMS records the inventory counts and history for every inventory item within each warehouse. The count detail can be viewed from the Count tab and the history within the year tabs.

Select Inventory > Product Catalog from the main menu and select an inventory item. Click on the General tab as shown below:

The Location table contains a warehouse setting as shown above. Review the Purchasing > Stock Locations section for more details on the stock location table.  

Click on the Count tab as shown below:

The Warehouse setting on the top of the dialog window affects the Advanced and Count tabs as well as the yearly history tabs. However, it does not affect the other tabs. Set the Warehouse option to All to view the total inventory count values for all the warehouses combined, or select a specific Warehouse to view the counts within the selected Warehouse.

Click on the General tab to view the stock location table. Review the Purchasing > Stock Locations section for more details.

Click on any history year tab and note that the purchase and sales history is maintained for each warehouse.

The drill-down feature is available for the count and history tabs when the Warehouse is set to All or when a specific warehouse is selected.

The multiple locations must operate within the same company in order to use the Multiple Location module of EBMS.   An alternative Product Catalog Sync tool is recommended to manage inventory catalogs within multiple data sets.   Review Product Catalog Sync  > Viewing Inventory Stock Levels within Multiple Companies to view stock levels within other companies.  

Review Product Catalog Sync > Synchronizing the Product Catalogs between EBMS Companies for details on multiple location inventory with separate company data sets.
