Vendor Inventory Management

Retailers with limited warehouse space and those that fulfill dropship orders can track the available inventory at the vendor location for a specific product.  The user can enter the percentage of the vendor’s available quantity to sale, along with the number of days to keep the inventory before replenishing the stock items again. 

The system tracks vendor inventories by displaying the quantities on hand, as well as the quantities available by the vendor in the footer of the sales orders. This is beneficial to users when sales orders are received and quantities on hand are low.  The feature allows users to know what is available for direct shipments from the vendor’s inventory.
