The option you will use most in Herschel is the partnumber enquiry. This option gives you a complete picture of what's happening to each item you stock:
The current page shows the current stock situation. Each item can be stored in up to ten separate storage locations - the stock level at each is shown:
The partnumber enquiry future page allows you to look forward in time and see future transactions and stock balances:
As items move into and out of stock each transaction is recorded by the system. The past page lists all, or a selection of these transactions. Herschel can filter out unwanted transactions if necessary, allowing you to look at, for example, just transactions associated with the Buy module.
