Effortless Inventory Management with QuickEasy BOS

QuickEasy BOS offers a streamlined approach to inventory management, making it easier for businesses to track and control their stock levels efficiently. This system incorporates various transaction types that cater to different stages of inventory handling, including receipt, issuance, returns, and adjustments. Here’s how QuickEasy BOS simplifies this essential business function.

1. Understanding Inventory Transaction Types

QuickEasy BOS categorises inventory transactions to maintain clarity and ensure accurate tracking of items across different processes. Here are the primary types of inventory transactions you’ll encounter:

• Goods Received: This transaction type records the arrival of items into your inventory, updating stock levels accordingly.
• Goods Issued: When items are dispatched from your inventory for production or sales, this transaction helps in tracking the reduction in stock.
• Goods Returned: This involves recording items that are returned either by customers or production (unused raw materials), helping maintain accurate stock data.
• Stock Adjustments: Adjustments are crucial for correcting stock levels due to discrepancies found during stock counts or to account for spoilage or theft.

2. Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Inventory in QuickEasy BOS

Most inventory transactions are created by copying a source transaction and users can choose how to set this up. For example, a purchase order can be copied to a goods received transaction and then to a supplier invoice. Alternatively, a purchase order can be copied to a supplier invoice, and the system can automatically create a goods received transaction in the background.

However, to understand how inventory works, the steps below explain the process as if each transaction is being captured manually.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Inventory

Before you can manage inventory effectively, ensure all your items are correctly set up in the system. This includes defining item categories, setting up inventory locations, and adding prices.

Step 2: Processing Goods Received

When new stock arrives:

1. Select the ‘Goods Received’ transaction type.
2. Enter the details of the items received, including quantity and the supplier information.
3. Save the transaction to update your inventory levels.

Step 3: Issuing Goods

To issue goods from your inventory:

1. Access the ‘Goods Issued’ transaction type.
2. Fill out the necessary details such as item numbers, quantities, and the department or project to which the goods are issued.
3. Complete the transaction to adjust your stock levels downward.

Step 4: Handling Goods Returned

For returns:

1. Choose the ‘Goods Returned’ transaction type.
2. Input details about the returned items, including the reason for return.
3. Save the transaction to either increase stock (for customer returns) or decrease stock (for returns to suppliers).

Step 5: Making Stock Adjustments

To adjust stock levels:

1. Select the ‘Stock Adjustments’ transaction type.
2. State the reason for the adjustment to maintain accurate records.
3. Select the items that need adjustment and enter the counted quantities.
4. Save the transaction to reflect the corrected stock levels.
