Inventory Control

The inventory items that you setup in The Uniform Solution for Windows provide the foundation for the entire system. Almost everything in the system uses inventory in some way. Customers buy inventory, while you stock it and sell it. Making inventory entry simple, fast, and easy is essential to the success of any inventory control system.

The Uniform Solution is designed to be very easy to use. The logical vendor, style, color, and size hierarchy make inventory entry and maintenance clear and understandable. Automated functions for Purchase Order creation, Receiving List entry, and flexible tag printing will greatly reduce the man-hours required to maintain your inventory. The inventory section provides the following functionality:

•	Track the inventory in-stock, on-hold (for a layaway or special order), the quantity on-order, and the quantity on-order for special orders. Set the desired inventory level and the point to reorder, always keeping your best selling items in stock where they make you money!
•	Sales history for a vendor, style, style and color, or a individual size can be instantly displayed on the screen. The sales history shows the quantities sold for each month of the last two years, the date first received, the date last received, and the total sales for each year.
•	The program utilizes the versatility of a 'tag queue' for garment tag printing. Simply fill the tag queue with inventory items to print from a PO, Receiving List, or individual inventory items, then print all of the tags in the queue at one time.
•	Inventory data entry has been truly simplified by using a style matrix that allows unlimited colors and sizes to be entered for a single style. And to facilitate entering new styles, you can copy an existing style or enter a size group that represents a range of sizes.
•	Quickly update prices in your inventory using the Vendor Catalog, and then print new tags for those items whose prices changed with ease, making inventory data maintenance much less time-consuming than most point-of-sale applications.
•	Our FIFO (first-in-first-out) inventory tracking method tracks what you paid for each item and sells the oldest items first for more accurate accounting of your inventory costs.
•	Organize your store into departments for more detailed sales analysis.
•	Standardize colors, sizes, product descriptions, and store departments in your entire inventory to get a better organization of your sales activity.
•	Use either the Uniform Solution's barcode or the vendor's UPC barcode for scanning at the point-of-sale and during physical inventories.

Purchase Orders

The Purchase Ordering capability in The Uniform Solution is simple and fast. The program can automatically create Purchase Orders for both inventory and special orders that you have taken for customers.

•	Establish desired stock and reorder levels for items in your inventory to automatically create purchase orders for those items at or below their reorder points. A great way to always keep your best sellers on the floor!
•	Automatically include special orders that need to be ordered for customers. With this feature, special orders start making you money and don't cause you headaches.
•	Add special notes to each item on your PO, or notes for the entire PO.
•	Items that are already on-order for stock can be easily allocated to cover newly placed special order items.
•	Use the AutoCreate function to quickly and automatically create Purchase Orders for all vendors that require ordering.

Receiving Lists

Receiving Lists are created in The Uniform Solution from existing Purchase Orders. You can quickly and easily receive and tag items received from a vendor in a matter of minutes.

•	Create receiving lists quickly and easily by selecting a previously placed PO and tailoring it to match your Packing list.
•	Print barcode tags for all items on the receiving list with the press of a button. Tag your shipment and you are ready to go. It's that easy!
•	The system helps you track your Accounts Payable by creating a vendor payable for each posted receiving list.
