Business Type: Reseller – One Supplier for Some Items
Brady’s Bargains has a list of suppliers from which they regularly
receive certain items that they have been maintaining by hand. They
will manually input these suppliers on the Create New Supplier screen before
they add the items. They can later manually associate the suppliers to an item
using the Edit Item screen/Manage Suppliers tab. Since they are using the
Standard version of InventoryControl, they are limited to entering one supplier
and one shipping unit of measure for each item.
Step 6: Enter or Import Your Items
Items represent the actual material or good that you will have in your inventory.
An item in InventoryControl contains general information, such as manufacturer,
suppliers, a description of the item and unit of measure information. The item is
not part of your inventory until you add quantity to it and specify a location for it
(Step 9). For example, you might create an Item entry for Mouse – Wireless, then
you can add inventory, or quantity, to that item at a specific location.
How To Add Items
• Manually Add Items to the Database –YoucanusetheCreate New Item
screen (Main Window > New > Item) to add individual items. We
recommend you manually enter your items so you can take advantage of all
the features available in InventoryControl. Many of the fields available to
capture data in InventoryControl are not part of other inventory systems, so
they will not be populated by importing. Manually entering items ensures
you enter information in all important fields, allowing you to make full use of
InventoryControl’s feature-rich design.
