Inventory · Real-Time Queries & Cross-Warehouse Transfers

Real-time books across multiple warehouses and SKUs — the stock a sales rep sees when placing an order is the warehouse's actual on-hand quantity. Stocktaking supports full-warehouse, sample and dynamic counts, with discrepancies automatically generating overage/shortage orders to adjust the books. Cross-warehouse transfers link the sender's outbound with the receiver's inbound, making regional dispatch flexible.

Capabilities

Keep Stock Books Perfectly Aligned with Reality

Not just knowing "how much" but "which warehouse, which status, and how often it turns over"

📊 Multi-Warehouse Stock View

View stock in a warehouse × SKU matrix, with main warehouse, branches, in-transit and pending-inbound counted by status

🔁 Cross-Warehouse Transfers

Driven by transfer orders: two-way confirmation of source-warehouse outbound + receiving-warehouse inbound; in-transit quantities shown separately for transparent regional dispatch

📋 Stocktaking

Three methods — full-warehouse, sample and dynamic counts; once a stocktake order is generated, count items by barcode scan or manual entry, with discrepancies calculated automatically

Automatic Discrepancy Adjustment

After a count, the system automatically generates overage/shortage orders to adjust the stock books, and finance posts the corresponding overage/shortage entries

📈 Stock Alerts

Set safety-stock and maximum-stock thresholds per SKU — falling below the floor triggers a replenishment suggestion, exceeding the ceiling prompts clearance

🔄 Turnover Analysis

Track each SKU's inventory turnover days and slow-moving days; identify dead stock and best-sellers to optimize your stocking strategy

Multi-Warehouse, Multi-SKU Books Consistent in Real Time

One main warehouse + 5 branches + 10 store warehouses, each SKU in each warehouse kept on its own ledger. A sales rep selects a warehouse from a dropdown on the sales order page and sees the real-time stock figure — no waiting for the warehouse to report numbers.

  • Warehouse × SKU matrix: which SKU is in which warehouse and how many units
  • Stock status: on-hand / pending-inbound / pending-outbound / in-transit counted separately
  • Available stock = on-hand − reserved (approved but not yet shipped)
  • Cross-warehouse query: find any warehouse with stock and transfer immediately

No More All-Nighters for Stocktaking

Three methods — quarterly full-warehouse counts, monthly sample counts and real-time dynamic counts — to meet different needs. Once a stocktake order is generated, warehouse staff scan with a phone or enter numbers on a PC, and discrepancies are calculated automatically. Export the stocktake report to PDF for finance, with overages/shortages auto-generating orders to adjust the books.

  • Full-warehouse count: periodically review all SKUs
  • Sample count: sample by category / ABC classification
  • Dynamic count: regular shelf-by-shelf checks, with discrepancies adjusted in real time
  • Count discrepancies auto-generate overage / shortage orders

Cross-Warehouse Transfers Keep Regional Stock Moving

Product A is nearly sold out at the Beijing branch while 200 units sit at the Shanghai main warehouse. Issue a transfer order: main warehouse outbound → in-transit status → Beijing warehouse receipt inbound, with accurate data throughout. In transit, the goods sit on the "in-transit" ledger and can't be sold by mistake.

  • Transfer order: source warehouse + receiving warehouse + product + quantity
  • Source outbound → in-transit → receiving warehouse inbound
  • In-transit stock shown separately, excluded from sales
  • Transfer reason + approval archived
