Inventory & Purchasing

One catalogue behind every channel, and a purchase cycle that ends in a posted bill.

Inside the module

Explorethis module’s capabilities

Manage products, services, service bundles and pricing in one catalogue. Sales channels use the applicable prices and settings; warehouse movements, stock counts and purchase records support inventory tracking and valuation.

Products, Services & Bundles

Products with variants, barcodes and selling units, plus services and service bundles, in one shared catalogue. Read shop-scale barcodes that carry weight or price, and print product labels from templates sized per printer and branch.

Warehouses & Stock Control

Multiple warehouses per branch, central warehouses not tied to a branch, and a default store per branch. Route stock requests and addition, issue or transfer vouchers through approval, and receive transfers partially with refused units returned to the source.

Stock Counts

Per-warehouse counts that freeze expected quantities, record every variance and can be reversed; once inventory costing is active, the net gain or loss posts to the ledger. Print blind count sheets, run spot checks, schedule cycle counts and import counts from a barcode collector.

Purchase Requests & Orders

An internal request, an approval, a purchase order emailed to the supplier, then a goods receipt. Keep each supplier’s code, pack size, price and lead time, and spread freight and customs across the order so they enter product cost on receipt.

Purchase Invoices & Supplier Payments

Record purchase invoices and supplier payments, manage purchase returns and adjustments, and review supplier statements and outstanding balances. Group due invoices into a payment run that is reviewed and approved before you pay from the bank.

Document Inbox

Upload supplier bills and receipts to one review queue, then convert each to a purchase invoice or an expense.

Batches & Expiry Dates

Record batch and expiry on receipt, dispatch earliest-expiry first, and choose whether expired stock is used last or blocked.

FIFO or Weighted-Average Costing

Activate cost layers after a preflight that checks quantities and costs, then correct carrying value through approved cost adjustments that post to the ledger and can be reversed.

From Reorder Level to Order

Set minimum, target and maximum stock per product or warehouse, get low, high and out-of-stock alerts, and create draft purchase orders grouped by supplier, warehouse and currency.

How the work flows

A connectedpath from start to finish

An illustrative workflow; available steps depend on the transaction, settings and permissions.

  1. Define items, units and warehouses, then review opening quantities and costs.

  2. Start with a purchase request when needed, then follow approval, purchase order, goods receipt and supplier billing.

  3. Track transfers and sales movements, run stock counts and review variances before completing the count, which applies the adjustment; a completed count can be reversed.

Staying in control

Information tokeep you in control

Review inventory by warehouse, item movements, stock valuation and low stock. Connect purchasing reviews with supplier statements and payments.

What do you need to get started?

Set up warehouses, units, costing policy and permissions. Warehouse limits vary by plan, and cost figures require the relevant access.
