Inventories

At a basic level, a fixed asset is a long term good kept and used by the government, typically over 12 months. An inventory item is also an asset, but is typically kept for less than 12 months, it is intended for distribution (to citizens) or as part of a work in progress to make a good for resale or distribution.

An example of an inventory item is pamphlets, or paper that is purchased to make pamphlets. The pamphlets are intended for distribution to schools. Hence, this is an inventory item. A building, vehicle, or computer is normally considered a fixed asset because it is not intended for distribution (to the public) or as an item for sale by the government. Rather, it is intended for use by the government itself.

The Inventories module allows users to manage inventory items.

Support Entities

Support entities are the back bone of the inventories module and it holds the sourcing package that is a collection of Inventory Items predefined for specific purposes; the advantage for Goods/Services Requests is that this will automatically populate the Goods/Services Request Items that are needed. The Inventory Kardex is the second support entities component which is a view where the user may check all the transactions that have been applied to a particular Inventory Item. Transactions will be displayed in chronological order based on the ‘Inventory Transaction Date'. Third component includes inventory items that are stored as a part of the inventory. This allows the organization to keep all inventory on hand recorded in an organized manner so if individual(s) were looking for an inventory item, they could use this screen to easily retrieve the inventory that they wish to inquire about. The fourth Inventory Item in Court Status Reason states the reasons that will support the ‘Inventory Item in Count’ or ‘Inventory Item in Count Perishable Lot’ Status. It could be used for reporting and statistics.

Storage Section contains an organizational subdivision of a Storage Type that groups together Storage Bins with similar features for the purpose of putting away stock. The criteria for grouping bins can be defined on a user-individual basis, for example, heavy parts, bulky materials, fast-moving items, slow-moving items.  A storage area consists of one or several Storage Bins. The Storage Section can serve as an organizational aid for putting away goods in the warehouse. If user decides on using storage types and storage sections, he must define his organizational goals. Here the physical location is often a decisive organizational factor. It is not absolutely mandatory that user subdivide a storage type into two or more storage sections. However, user must create at least one storage section for each storage type.

Inventory Adjustment

Overview

An inventory adjustment would be processed to register any changes or differences among stock quantities in a given warehouse. The reason for such an adjustment could be to enter any variances of stock quantities based on the results of periodic stock taking. This functional section is used for that reason and also used to enter the opening balances of the existing stocks at the beginning of using the system. 

This screen represents a transaction that affects the Inventory Items for a particular Warehouse based on differences in a stock taking process or due to a fortuitous event (accidental loss, damage, etc.).  The reason for adjustments is to keep the consistency between the 'physical' and the 'on books' Inventory.

Inventory Reports can perform these functions:

- Classifies inventories by user-designated groups, with subtotaling and totaling of an overall value

- Provides standard governmental reporting: i.e., it should not include information such as investment tax credit data or basis costs

- Tracks all transactions affecting the value of inventories by the original source document number and date, and the module and application in which the transaction originated

- Displays or print subsidiary ledgers of fixed inventory balances

- Produces a transaction register audit trail of all acquisitions, transfers, changes, retirements, and disposals during a user-defined time period by inventory type, department, transaction date, funding source, or purchase amount

- Provides a money total of fixed inventory purchases by their funding source and department/organization

- Provides a vendor/PO listing of inventories by vendor or in purchase order number sequence

- Produces a deletion report showing items by inventory type which have physically been disposed of but still remain on file for information purposes

- Produces a forecast of assets and inventories scheduled for replacement, based on user-specified criteria, such as useful life, scheduled disposition date, or odometer readings

- Allows reporting and inquiry of replacement cost by department or organization unit and by inventory type

- Prints reports to support taking of physical inventory by division and/or location

Below you will find a list of all Inventory Reports used during the Inventory Management Process.
