What it does for you

A warehouse management software that knows in real time what stock you hold of every item and in which warehouse location: receive from suppliers, fulfill sales, transfer stock across branches and warehouses, perform physical stocktakes, and receive automated alerts whenever an item approaches reorder levels. Every inventory movement posts to general ledger accounting immediately, because warehouses and accounting form a single unified system.

It is a module of "Asas by FoundationCX".

Alternative to

If you are looking for an alternative to Odoo, this replaces:

  • Odoo for inventory.
  • Standalone desktop inventory software disconnected from accounting.

  • Batches and expiration dates for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.
  • Serial numbers for machinery, electronics, and hardware equipment.
  • Multi-warehouse management: unlimited warehouses and retail branches, tracking stock availability per location.
  • Stock movements: purchase receipts from suppliers, material issues, inter-warehouse transfers, and purchase/sales returns.
  • Reorder points and automated purchase requisitions when stock falls below minimum safety buffers.
  • Stock reconciliations and discrepancy write-offs.
  • Inventory valuation using FIFO (First-In, First-Out) or Moving Average methods.
  • Landed cost vouchers distributing freight, customs, and clearing expenses onto imported item costs.
  • Quality inspection checkpoints upon goods receipt.
  • Warehouse reports: stock balances, stock ledgers, inventory valuation, and slow-moving or dead stock.

Inventory is a core module of ERPNext, an open-source ERP system licensed under GPL-3.
