Inventory Management Overview

FrameReady can make the task of inventory management a lot easier. Some of the benefits include: reducing time spent searching for stock, the taking of a physical inventory, and being able to tell the customer with a rush order, "Yes, we have it in stock" while still in the Work Order screen.

  • If you chose to use FrameReady to manage your inventory, then you must decide if you'll use Manual or Automatic inventory management.

  • Alternatively, you may also choose to manage your inventory outside of FrameReady.

Choices: Manual Inventory or Automatic Inventory

  • Inventory management can be manually kept or automatically updated. 

  • Each Price Code item must have a quantity (or footage, for moulding only) in the Qty field (found in the Auto Inv tab).

What is Automatic Inventory Management?

  • FrameReady can calculate the moulding footage used on a Work Order, remove that required footage from inventory, identify the supplier you have selected to order, and, when you generate a Purchase Order, enter the footage amount onto it.

What is Manual Inventory Management?

  • When you use a piece or full stick, it is up to you to remove it from inventory.

  • This can be done right from the Work Order Frame1 – Frame5 detail screens. Any changes made there also change the original record in the Price Codes file.
