Inventory
Area
This area
holds basic details about the item primarily the ID, name, class, types, department,
projects name and settings. Here all inventory items can be assigned to a
specific Class which enables additional searching, reporting and pricing for
inventory items in the assigned classes. The type option allows you to set up
different types of the inventory such as non-diminishing, normal, serial, batch,
item, activity, hire, assets and voucher. By selecting a type this will define
the inventory type. The system will make the appropriate alterations to various
other pages for these inventory items. As an example a Batch type of inventory,
will then provide batch tracking of all purchases and sales. Tracking of stock
levels for normal inventory items, if the batch functions are turned on in the
inventory detail, this allows batches of the same inventory item to be assigned
a batch or serial number, which then becomes a batch number. These items are
also tracked by the system when they are purchased and sold as batches and this
is enforced by the system. The stock levels in each batch or serial are tracked
individually.
Grouping area
In the grouping area the user may use up to six Tags for Inventory items enabling additional searching and classification. As an example Seasonal tags are used when a customer order is selected from a browser using the Web Pack. They are directly linked to the Web area in Master Defaults on the Inventory Page. An example of its use would be if customers were to use the Pre-Order function in the Web Pack to enter in anticipated future orders for inventory items. This would then give sales staff an indication of the quantity and timing of any purchases of stock that they would need to fulfil these orders.
Description area
In pallet you can enter the number of the Inventory items that are shipped on a Pallet. When a Sales or Purchase order is raised, the number of Pallets required for this Inventory Item will be displayed on the transaction of inventory vendor purchase entry screen. If you are charged by the Pallet for shipping, you may have to make a change to the quantity to make sure you are fully utilising your money for this specific shipment. In most screens within SapphireOne the Quantity and Weight/Area fields are linked and will calculate to each other. The user has the option of entering a quantity and the weight/area figure will be calculated by the system. Alternatively, the user may enter a figure into the weight/area data entry field and the system will calculate a quantity.
Standard Prices area
The Standard Prices area enables the entering of pricing details for your company. There are a range of Standard codes from A through to H and Ex, tax exempt. The user has the option of entering any of these prices manually to set different prices for different customers of the inventory items by price code.
FX Prices area
The FX Prices area displays the FX currencies that are in the system. The update button is used to perform a manual update of FX prices for the particular Inventory item. This section of the details screen will only display if Foreign Currency has been activated within SapphireOne.
Stock Levels area
The stock level area gives you an instant snapshot for this particular Inventory item of exactly what the status is for current stock in the ERP system. Minimum and maximum stock levels set the minimum and maximum stock levels for the item when reordering. The current field displays total number of all posted transactions and the un-posted, displays total number of all un-posted transactions. The allocated displays the number either allocated for delivery or allocated to a project. You can calculate your available stock by using the formula Available stock = Current + Un-posted – Allocated. Stock managers can use this area as a basis for changing the Economic order quantity (EOQ) and safety stock levels for the product.
