Key Features and Benefits:

• Stock record details are easily accessible
  Sage MMS has an intuitive user interface, which allows you to call up the full details of an item quickly and easily. All information can be viewed in an instant, including supplier details, stock levels, stock location, and stock history. This means you always know how you arrived at your current stock levels - by understanding where your products came from, where they are now, when they were sold, and at what price they were sold. From summary information, you can quickly drill down to transaction level.

• Unlimited suppliers for stock items
  Specify unlimited alternative suppliers for each stock item, with full details to hand including price history and lead time.

• Units of measure
  You can buy, store and sell the same stock items in different quantities. For example, you could buy tiles by the pallet, store by the box and sell by the square metre.

• Search categories
  You can set up unlimited categories to suit your product lines; these can be used for reporting purposes or to assist in locating products during the sales order entry process.

• Inactive stock items
  You can set a flag to make a stock item inactive, so that it can't be ordered but remains on the system with full history.

• Internally-issued goods
  Stock issued internally to individual areas of a business (as opposed to the departments defined in the nominal ledger) can be recorded, to assist in monitoring internal usage.

• Stock taking procedure
  With Sage MMS, you can produce reports to assist in making a comparison between physical stock amounts and computer stock levels. You can also make adjustments to the total stock, if appropriate, to deal with any anomalies in these levels. Cyclical stock takes are supported - ie scheduling counts for individual items as required.

• Manage stock in multiple locations
  If your business operates one or more locations (for example, warehouses divided into bays), Sage MMS can help you manage these effectively. Each location can be operated independently in terms of replenishment, sales, reporting and stock takes. You can prevent sales from individual stock locations - for example a bonded warehouse.

• Integration
  The Stock module integrates closely with Sales and Purchase Order Processing modules and the Price Book - ensuring that purchase orders are placed with the correct supplier at the right price, and that sales orders are fulfilled efficiently. You can drill down from 'allocated' and 'on order' totals to the linked sales and purchase orders, to easily view which customers have been allocated a particular product.
