VISUAL Enterprise offers two separate types of inventory
tracking software: Material Planning and Dimensional Inventory Tracking.
Dimensional Inventory Tracking provides you with a high level of control over
your inventoried parts. Rather than seeing just the total inventory quantity of
a specific part, you can see the total quantity broken down by its various
dimensional sizes. Additionally, Dimensional Inventory Tracking allows you to
issue a specified number of pieces by dimension, then VISUAL calculates the
total order quantity by making the necessary unit conversions.
The inventory tracking software functionality closely interact with VISUAL
Enterprise, so that any transaction involving a part triggers an immediate
adjustment of all associated material quantities, even on a per project basis.
The Warehouse Inventory Tracking functionality, through the use of conversion
factors, goes a step further, allowing you to purchase, receive, and stock
inventory in differing units of measure. You simply need to enter the number of
pieces of material, the required dimensions, and the warehouse location. Perform
physical inventory counts when you specify the number and dimensions of those
pieces, or you can automate the physical count, cycle count, and ABC analysis
processes
