Inventory Management Module |
Improve Your Inventory Controls and Customer Service
The Inventory Management module for the Sage MAS 500
ERP system puts you in firm control
of your
distribution
business through every step of your inventory
process.
This powerful tool enables you to
manage your
warehouse and inventory levels more effectively,
enhancing customer satisfaction while
maximizing profits.
It is a key component of the Sage MAS 500 distribution
suite, which was designed
with
input from supply chain
experts to meet the needs of the distribution industry.
The warehouse-centric design of the Inventory
Management module lets you
track costs and sales
histories by warehouse, enables you to quickly locate the
items your customers are requesting, and
allows you to
continue taking orders during inventory cycle counting,
ensuring that your business
continues to
operate at peak efficiency.
Inventory Management supports both assemble to order
and build to order kits and includes full lot
and serial number tracking. In addition, it supports FIFO,
LIFO, Average, Actual, Standard, and
Warehouse-Specific Costing. More
advanced features include support for fixed asset inventories,
substitute item definition, |
 |
landed cost calculations, inventory catalog management, and powerful unit
of
measure conversion tables.
Nearly all distributors and manufacturers can benefit from the advanced Inventory Management
module, which provides the most comprehensive and flexible set of inventory management tools
available today. |

Maximize your inventory investment by establishing a variety of system options to
meet your unique business requirements. |
|
Identify a wide range of inventoried and non-inventoried items. |
|
Define the inventory calendar of your choice. |
|
Set up multiple price lists (in multiple currencies), multiple companies, and multiple
warehouses. |
|
| Cross-reference part numbers with customer part numbers for quick reference
during order entry and inventory processing. |
| Define buying authority thresholds for specific buyers. |
| Realize your maximum profit potential by providing flexibility for all aspects of your
business—and accounting for every eventuality. |
| Designate an inventory item as seasonal or flag it as a hazardous material. |
| Designate whether or not an item is subject to trade discounts, included on packing
slips, or can be back ordered, returned, or drop-shipped. |
| Assign each item to an item class and define acceptable item subsitutions. |
| Allocate each item to one or more bin locations per warehouse. Serial and lot
tracking is supported. In addition, ranges of lots or serial numbers can be entered
with advanced masking to create a lot and serial numbering system. |
| Classify separate units of measure for stocking, selling, buying, and pricing each
item. |
| Assign inventory items to product categories to sort products available through the
eCustomer module for on-line sales. Images can be attached and viewed through
eCustomer for each inventory item. The product categories can also be accessed
during Sales Order Entry. |
| Rank Items by percentage of COGS, Gross Margin, Quantity Sold, and Hits. For
example, you might rank items in the top 80% of the cost of goods sold as A
items, rank the next 15% as B items, the next 5% as C items. |
| Kitting supports stocked, Assemble-to-Order (ATO) kits, and on-the-fly assembly of
Build-To-Order (BTO) kits. Disassembly of ATO kits is also supported and users can
define whether or not returns are allowed for full kits or kit components. |
| Choose costing methods and specify price breaks to best fit your business and
industry. |
| Choose from five different costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, Standard, Actual, and
Average), depending on your objective. |
