EssentOne Inventory

Summary
EssentOne Inventory includes major tools to control all of your product and service offerings. With EssentOne Inventory, you’ll effortlessly control all of your offerings and know the status of each at all times. Organize offerings into logical groupings that are relevant to your business: branch, location, categories, subcategories.

Both products and services offer multiple pricing models – giving you unlimited flexibility in creating special pricing for customers without having to define pricing for each and every customer. With Alternate Pricing management, create optional contract or promotional pricing for a customer or group of customers for a date range.

All product offerings are defined by an ID, Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), Universal Product Code (UPC), name, description, multi-level pricing, and multiple inventory locations. Optionally track products by Lot Number or Serial Number.

All relevant inventory stock metrics are tracked: On-Hand, On-Order, Backordered, and Available. With EssentOne Inventory know stock metrics down to the Lot Number or individual Serial Number. Shipping information, including package dimensions, weight, shipping charges, and handling fees, can be optionally entered.

Control planning as-well-as stock levels. Through Material Requirements Planning, define replenishing rules and lead-times that are used to automatically calculate product quantities that are required to satisfy customer orders, backorders, and stock levels.

Purchase Order and Supplier management is just as powerful. Assign multiple suppliers to each product, including part numbers and purchasing history. Manually create Purchase Orders or automatically generate them from required inventory quantities identified through Material Requirements Planning.
