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 Inventory Purchasing Page, Purchase Order Overview, and Entering a New Vendor Invoice sections of the main manual for general instructions on purchasing inventory.
