Multi-level Inventory

Parent-child stock structuring and collection hierarchy management

↩ Return to Control Panel

Multi-level inventory permits an inventory item to act as a parent and allows child inventory items to be a member of the parent.

This option is useful in a collection of items with different characters/styles making up the collection. All windows and reports are available per collection or per character/style.

Example:
An example of this can be best illustrated in the fashion industry where a collection is made up of various styles. The primary data is stored at collection level, with the character such as the style stored as a child with additional basic information.

The Customer Sales Order is processed in the Control Panel.
