Inventory

Manage Your Inventory

AccountEdge’s powerful Inventory command centre allows for total inventory control: multiple pricing levels, kit-building and negative inventory. Receive inventory into multiple locations, whether it’s different shelves in a warehouse or different warehouses altogether. You can even keep a digital photo of each item for easy reference.

The Items Register

Open the Items Register and get a picture of your inventory: where it came from, where it is, and where it is going. The Items Register lets you check your inventory levels, build items, and adjust inventory.

The Items List

The Items List gives you total control of your items: add descriptions, locations, and a photo of each item. Screenshot.

Items list

Receiving inventory

When a shipment of inventory arrives, not all of the goods always come in at once. AccountEdge lets you place an order, receive inventory against the order, track what inventory is still outstanding to be received, and create a bill for the outstanding goods, all while maintaining a connection with the original purchase order.

Buying Details

Track buying details for your items like standard cost, last purchase price, and units of measure when purchasing. You can link a primary vendor to each item for reorders, and a minimum level before you want an alert to tell you to restock.

Selling Details

Create selling details, including base selling price, selling units of measure, and 6 pricing levels with 5 quantity breaks each for a total of 30 different selling prices for each of your items.

Count Inventory

Open Count Inventory from the command centre to quickly adjust the quantities of your items so they match the actual quantities in stock. If you use locations, you can group your inventory list by item or by location. Screenshot.

Inventory locations

Whether inventory items are organized by bin, on shelves, or in different warehouses, you can find out how many you have and where they are by location. Use the Move Items window to shift your inventory from place to place, and even build reports sorted by location to learn sales, purchase prices, and more. Screenshot.

Build Kits

AccountEdge automates the build process, making it easy to combine multiple items and build them into a finished item with Auto-build. You can set minimum levels so that when an item necessary for building another starts running low, you will be given an alert that you need to replenish that item.

Enhanced search of the items list

AccountEdge comes with an enhanced search that lets you search by a number of fields. For example, choose to search by Item Name and only items that contain the keyword you use will show up, saving you the pain of the old search and scroll technique.

Identifiers and Custom Lists & Fields

Use Identifiers and Customs Lists & Fields to define your customers, employees, vendors and personal contacts and easily sort through them when running reports or creating letters.
