The
Role of Inventory Control and Purchasing |
| The
BusinessWorks Inventory Control and Purchasing module provides important
information about each inventory item that would be practically impossible
to obtain without a computer. In addition to keeping track of receipts,
issues and adjustments, BusinessWorks maintains complete information for
99 warehouses and an unlimited number of serial numbers and parts. Inventory
Control can even make order recommendations when the quantity of an item
falls below a specified level. |
