IC.05: Client / Product Inquiry

Note that you can click the button (or press F5) to invoke field help at any time from within the job panel itself.

Business Benefits

In the course of running your business, Inventory will be moving all the time. On occasion, questions may arise as to where the Stock is located and where it is going to/coming from. For example:

Why are only 10 in stock when there should be 12?

How many do we usually receive in a shipment?

Who got the 5 we had in stock 3 months ago?

This program allows you to look-up this kind of information on the screen rather than produce a full report (which is available through program IC.03 [Activity Reports - On Request]).

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see IC - Inventory Control.
