Multi location inventory management system.

Companies very often have several locations for saving their products. They can put one item in two or more warehouses. How will our inventory management system process this item? First, we'll add the item to the Item list. We'll enter the item name and description. If we use bar code labels we'll add value of bar code in the special field. Then we should track receiving of this item on our first warehouse. Create a new receiving order with this item and select location=Warehouse#1. The inventory management system will add this item to the warehouse #1. After that, we have to create a second receiving order with the item and location=warehouse#2. We'll see the summary on hand for our item in the Inventory report and local on hand in the Inventory local report. If we sell product from our warehouse #1 we create a new invoice with this item and select the location=warehouse #1 for this invoice. The inventory system will reduce on hand amount of the item on the warehouse #1.
