To begin tracking a part in inventory

To enter or adjust inventory levels

To recieve parts into inventory

  1. Create a accounting_ch_08-receiving_documents - items may be received by line or purchase order.
  2. Convert directly to a accounting_ch_09-bills_from_vendors.

Receiving Documents are a useful tool for tracking internal movement of inventory and identifying sources of operational loss.

To understand basic inventory formula used by control

Billed + Received Only = On Hand - Reserved = Available + On Order = Expected.

As noted below this is the formula that should be used when making determinations of accuracy in a physical count.

Note that while the entire formula is often visible. Control will often only fill in those portions relevant to a given line item. As in the case shown here, this illustration was taken from an activity line it does not reflect all fields, but is showing the effect of this line on the formula. Here a receiving document has been converted to a bill. The overall effect on the On Hand amount is '0.' The items are simply moving from received into billed. The physical number of items has not changed, and is not reflected in the selection of the activity line level formula viewer. In this case there are a total of 300 units available in the warehouse.

Warehouse specific parts

If you are setup to use warehouses in Control, then you have the ability to limit which parts are stocked in specific warehouses.
