The Inventory Stock Item Lifecycle: A Step-by-Step Guide

1- Starting Point: Adding Item Information

• When you receive new stock items, the first step is to add their details into your inventory system. This can be done manually or by importing data from an Excel sheet.
• Our software allows you to input essential information such as product name, description, supplier, quantity, and any other relevant details.
• Once the item information is entered, you can create a “Receive” transaction to officially add the item to your inventory.

2- Tracking Transactions Throughout the Item’s Lifespan

• Move: Transfer items between locations (e.g., from warehouse to showroom or between different stores).
• Sales Order & Issue: Record customer purchases and remove items from inventory.
• Return: Process customer returns and add items back to inventory.
• Purchase Order: Create orders to replenish stock when items run low.

3- End of Life: Disposal

• When an item reaches the end of its lifecycle, it is typically disposed of or sold.
• This can occur due to expiration, damage, or obsolescence.
• Use the “Dispose” transaction in our system to remove the item from your inventory.
