Inventory and Distribution

Better Inventory Management with SAP B1 for your wholesale/Distribution Business

SAP Business One Inventory Management

SAP Business One Inventory Management and Distribution provides accurate information about inbound and outbound shipments, inventory, purchasing, transport and item location. Every step of the supply chain can be managed, optimised and analysed to improve inventory accuracy, ensure better customer service through on-time, in-full delivery and ensure that cash flow is not tied up in excess inventory.

You can value inventory using standard costing, moving average, FIFO, and other methods; monitor stock levels; and track transfers in real-time. You can run real-time inventory updates and availability checks and manage standard and special pricing. Not only that, but you can also apply volume, cash, and customer discounts and run reports that reveal their impact. When managing a wholesale/distribution business you know that inventory is at the heart of everything that you do. Hold the right amount of inventory, and you can better service your customers, and you won’t lose any customer orders. Hold too much inventory, and you run the risk of tying up cash flow. SAP Business One for wholesale/distribution and inventory control lets you manage your supply chain for better business outcomes.
