Learn about the procedures as required.

• During Inventory Control Installation, various files were set up that are used throughout Inventory Control. Information may be added or changed whenever necessary, using the maintenance programs such as Warehouse File Maintenance, Category File Maintenance, Discounts File Maintenance, Quantity Breaks File Maintenance, Customer Special Pricing Maintenance, and Inventory Item File Maintenance.

• If items are lost due to shrinkage, breakage, or loss, use Inventory Adjustments Entry.

• On a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the needs of the purchasing department, print the Reorder Report. This lists all items that are close to their reorder point so that purchase orders can be generated for those items that need to be reordered. The Reorder Report can also be useful if a particular vendor is supplying a large quantity of items to the company. A report showing all items normally procured from this vendor can be printed, so that volume price breaks may be requested.

• Periodically use Processing Date Change to set minimum and maximum processing dates.
