Location Groups/Classes
Using Fishbowl' Location Groups function you will be able to track inventory
across multiple warehouses, retail outlets, and delivery trucks or anyplace you
store your inventory. Inventory valuation, sales, parts and quantities can then
be reported on based on the location group they belong to. These location groups
then correspond to the various classes within QuickBooks that you define.
Multiple Location Part Tracking
Fishbowl Inventory provides true multi-location part tracking across multiple
locations both within a given warehouse and at multiple warehouses. A location
can be set up as a store, a division, or even sections of a warehouse. It is
easily defined to best fit your business needs. Simply click on the part number
in question and everywhere that part is located, anywhere in the system, at
multiple locations within a warehouse, or across multiple warehouses, it is
immediately displayed on your screen.
Inventory Locations
If your warehouse is divided into aisles, rows and shelves Fishbowl can
automatically generate a matrix of locations for you without having to define
each location individually. Simply create a new location. Specify the desired
number of aisles, rows and shelves and Fishbowl will create all the desired
storage locations. Then simply move the desired inventory into the locations and
Fishbowl will track where your inventory is stored.
Auto ROP/Auto PO
How much inventory should you carry? Using the sales/usage history of any
given part in inventory, Fishbowl' Auto ROP (Reorder Point) function will
calculate the proper reorder point and order-up-to levels for any of your
products. Once an item reaches the reorder point Fishbowl Inventory
automatically creates a PO for that item, to the preferred vendor, in the proper
quantity and at the correct price. You can then issue the PO to the vendor or
alter it first and then issue it. Any price changes by the vendor are tracked in
the Fishbowl database.
Part Status
Fishbowl Inventory tracks the location and status of every item you have in
stock, whether it' in a single location or in multiple locations. This
information is available at the click of a button in multiple modules throughout
Fishbowl Inventory.
Part Monitor
Every company has parts that move more than others. Why not have an
interactive reporting of what those parts are and when you'll need more? With
the Monitor you'll see whether your biggest movers are approaching critical
levels or whether operations can continue to run without incident. In addition,
you'll see how many of one part has been allocated to the different points in
the consumption process. No more inventory shortages on your most consumed
parts. Fishbowl Inventory's part Monitor makes it easy to see when it's time to
re-order to keep sales moving.
Cycle Counting
Cycle Counting is a technique that allows the user to count inventory at a
limited number of locations within your warehouse and have that information
entered in real time with minimal disruption to your regular flow of business.
Simply pick a part to check, count the quantity, enter it into Fishbowl
Inventory, and the inventory is immediately updated to the correct amount.
