Receive – A function in InventoryControl that allows you to increase the quantity

of an item. Receive is similar to the Add function, but is used when the items

being added to inventory are part of a Purchase Order. This function is only

available in the Professional and Enterprise versions.

Remove – A function in InventoryControl that

allows you

to remove quantity from

any item in the database. This can be considered the same as shipping

inventory. You can designate which customer this inventory was shipped to on

this screen.

Reorder Quantity – The amount of an item you want to reorder. This quantity is

entered on the Create New or Edit Item screen.

Serial Number - A number that is one of a series and is used for identification,

as of a machine, computer or motor vehicle.

Site - The Site is a broad location containing one or more Locations. Inventory

is assigned to the locations within the site. For example, you might create a Site

labeled Warehouse 1 containing a Locations labeled Bin 1 and Bin 2.

Stocking Unit - This is the portion by which an item's quantity will be tracked.

This unit represents "Eaches", meaning how you want each item of this type to

be measured. (Examples: bag, barrel, basket, block, bottle, box, carton,

container, drum, gallon, jar, pack, package, pallet, section, tub, vial, etc.)

Symbology – A barcode format or font. Different bar and space patterns are

used to represent different characters. Sets of these patterns are grouped

together to form a "symbology". There are many types of bar code symbologies

each having their own special characteristics and features.

Sync – The act of sending data from the PC to the mobile device, or vice-versa,

so that the information on both devices matches.

Track By - InventoryControl allows you to track your inventory by several fields,

if desired. Track By options are: Serial Numbers, Lot, Date Code and/or Pallet.

Tracking allows you to follow the movements of inventory from receiving,

adjusting, moving, checking out, etc.

It is important that you determine how you want to track each Item. Typically,

small Items that are all the same may not need to have any Tracked Bys

selected. Items such as printers may need to be tracked by Serial Number, so

returns and maintenance can be properly tracked. Medical supplies or food may

need to be tracked by Date Code and/or Lot.

Transaction – Each time a function (add, remove, move, etc.) is performed in

InventoryControl, it is a transaction. These transactions are tim e -stamped and

canbeviewedontheTransaction List.
