Here are some routines Citrus Inventory provides which are not part of Citrus Invoicer:
- Create Purchase Orders (or just to add items to inventory counts)
You can create a PO for all items low in inventory or select individually - Create Pick lists to restock repair vehicles or prep for a project
- Restock Items, items picked for a project or vehicle restocking which were not used, can be restocked (added back to inventory)
- Create Inventory Count Sheets (used when performing a physical inventory)
- Create Price Books
- Create Truck Compliment Lists (what a Repair or Install Truck must have on hand)
(used to verify and re-stock a vehicle)
