Inventory Management Systems

Introduction
Inventory Deals with the items in stock. As inventory is an essential part of any organization, it consists of many items running into thousands. The Main objective of the system is maintenance of stock of available finished goods, automatic updating of stock .The facility to track inventory by item number, serial number or name are provided to keep track of item and make flexible to search an item. In our project we can create customized inventory of any stock. For this purpose different Functions are provided as to add new Records, Display them, search items by Name, Update the inventory and delete the items whenever required. To keep better knowledge of inventory and their status we have added Analysis part in the inventory. My IMS system has been developed in the C++ language to provide Better Graphical interface and easy to understand. Inventory is a detailed list of all the items in stock. The facility to track inventory by item number, serial number or batch is provided at item level to provide flexibility for all types of inventory including component parts and finished goods, individually numbered items with warranty periods, perishable products requiring "use by date" control and tracking by batch and customer. Control over inventory from receipting and manufacture allows for customer orders to be placed for large ticket items, which are not normally stocked due to infrequency of purchase or customer-specific specifications. Due automatically raise a purchase order requisition for delivery and invoicing to the customer, maintaining tight control on catalogue items. Assembly of kits and items requiring a bill of materials are handled by system ensuring accuracy of costing. All inventory modules are multi-location, providing flexibility in varying situations.

Objective

The Inventory module is provided with facilities to handle receipts, transfers, returns, sales and issues of stock with full stock take and stock adjustment functionality, providing management control over the quantity and value of stock on hand. Demand on stock may be initiated from sales, transfers, adjustments and supplier returns in any of the inventory-related modules, ensuring centralized control over availability of stock to fulfill requirements with optional automatic releasing of stock to fill backorders. Standard and average costing are provided with actual costing for serial numbered and batched items, allowing accurate valuation of stock on hand. Transfer of stock to or from inventory locations, jobs, projects, and General Ledger accounts enables full tracking of stock movements other than sales and receipts. Full transaction history in both detail and summary allows management to spot trends, analyses sales and profitability while preventing over-stocking and ensuring that customer demands are met without lost sales.
