The Purchase Orders module handles creating, managing, and receiving inventory from suppliers. This is the primary method for formal procurement with supplier agreements, cost tracking, and audit trails for all incoming goods.
Purchase Orders are how Inventory Pro allows you to fill your inventory by ordering items from suppliers. They can only be made on Inventory Pro desktop, although they can be completed on mobile as well as desktop.
The Appointments module provides a streamlined way to track and manage expected inventory deliveries without requiring formal purchase orders. This is particularly useful for consignment inventory, supplier deliveries, returns, and informal stock arrangements where traditional PO processes may not be necessary or appropriate.
Appointments track delivery status, integrate with receiving workflows, and send automated alerts without requiring complete purchase order data. This is useful for consignment inventory, supplier deliveries, returns, and informal stock arrangements.
The Shipping module tracks outbound orders. It includes Quick Orders for customer access, multi-step picking and packing, order approvals, and live FIFO allocation to determine which orders can be fulfilled with currently available stock.
Shipping Orders are the main way of sending goods out of your inventory and to your customers in Inventory Pro. They can be used in both desktop and mobile, but this document will focus on the mobile version.
In order to streamline the reordering and restocking process, Inventory Pro has a number of built-in restocking tools that can automatically generate purchase orders based on current inventory levels and reorder thresholds.
The job system is a way to organize all components used for any specific job. A job is a specialized task that can be used to track inventory throughout the system and separate inventory allocated for any job from normal inventory.
