Department based Inventory
« on: May 07, 2012, 08:46:52 pm »
Hi Emre,
The product is awesome, I have installed in a cake shop and it is running successfully for the past 1month.
We are getting few operational errors as people are making mistakes in entering data like entering 2 Inventory Item with Same name, The problem appears when you start add Recipe.

but at the functionality level, I felt these are some features if provided would be of great help

Do we have any idea of implementing
1. Department Based Inventory
2. Vendor/Supplier Based Inventory

Sure, Emre.

there may be scenarios when we may receive some items from some vendor for eg

Meat Vendor ( who offers red meat, chicken meat and Fish meat)
Grocery Vendor offering Rice, dal, vegetables, fruits
Soft Drinks offering Water Bottles, Coke, Fanta
etc

The transaction document can be prepared vendor wise and Department wise as well ie when we make a transaction document we should be able to associate it with a vendor and a department. This way if we purchase the same item from 2 different vendors, we can calculate our profits as well easily.

Also if reports can be generated vendor wise and department wise, it would be easy for settlement with the vendors. It would be easy for us to internally audit our profit/loss statements.
