Inventory Topcis

In the modern opentaps system the Inventory Processes are a part of the integrated and automated fulfillment work flow, providing a key dynamic link between sales, procurement, and delivery operations. Of course, Inventory also includes the complete catalog, stock level, and adjustment of all products, parts, and materials used in the resale or the production business.

From the Main Navigation screen, following the Warehouse Icon, the Inventory Processes covered in this section are the topics displayed in Figure-4A in the blue Actual Inventory box. This includes these items:
