What is Inventory management ?

Inventory management provides information to MRP which takes into account not only physical stock but also planned movements (requirement and receipts). Requirements calculated by MRP are acquired externally or internally.

When a material is ordered from a vendor, goods receipt takes place in inventory management with respect to the purchase order. The vendor invoice is later processed by invoice verification. Amongst other checks, verification is made as to whether the quantities and values from the purchase order and the goods receipt agree with those on the invoice.

If a material is acquired internally by means of production, inventory management provides for provision of components. Receipt of the finished products into the warehouse is also posted in inventory management in the same way.

On the other hand the material has not been withdrawn from the warehouse for internal production, but for the delivery of sales orders. A dynamic availability check can already give you information about whether the required material is available in sufficient quantity at the time the sales order is entered. (The availability check may also be used in conjunction with reservations and production orders.) When the delivery is generated, the quantity to be delivered is marked as "delivery to customer" and deducted from the total stock when the goods issue is posted.

Inventory Management includes the following tasks:
  •     Managing the material stocks by quantity and value
  •     Planning, creating, and verifying all goods movements
  •     Carrying out the physical inventory
