Purchasing Inventory for a Warehouse

Inventory purchasing and management can differ dramatically between different companies. Some of the options are diagramed below:

  • Some may opt to ship all purchased inventories to the main warehouse and then distribute inventory to other locations.

  • Other companies may purchase and ship directly to individual warehouses. The Multiple Warehouse module of EBMS accommodates either one or a combination of the two methods.

The following sections explain the means of purchasing for specific warehouses. A good knowledge of the inventory purchasing window, purchase orders, and expense invoices is recommended before proceeding with this section. Review the Purchasing > Inventory Purchasing Page, [Financials] Purchase Orders, and [Financials] Expense Invoices sections of the main manual for general instructions on purchasing inventory.
