Multi warehouse locations & POS app

EquineAmericaNZ

We are the importer of an equine supplement brand and we sell this nationally within NZ. We sell both to retail stores and also to the direct market. I have some stores on stock consignment so I need to be able to track their stock levels and be able to invoice them for stock when its sold/ and move stock between warehouses. For example, our main warehouse to our consignment stock warehouses.
I also have a sales agent who holds stock and so I need to be able to transfer stock to her warehouse too.
Can you please advise if this is possible?

My second question is, my sales agent will sell products at trade shows. She needs to be able to track her sales. What point of sale options are there?
Can she scan the product barcode and it deducts the stock from her warehouse location in ATUM ?

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

You can create as many inventories as you need with our Multi-Inventory add-on. And you can add a distinct location to each inventory.

We are working on a mobile App that will include a POS module. Once ready, this could be used for that purpose.
And it will also have a barcode and QR code scanning functionality, indeed.

Best Regards,
Salva.

Salva Thank you for your reply. I have been reading over some old posts from other customers, it looks as though you have been working on the POS for many years now, is that right?
Is there an ETA when it will be ready?

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

We are currently fixing the last known bugs on the current beta version. Once the App is stable, we will release it publicly. I hope this summer.

Best Regards,
Salva.

Ok hopefully it is released asap - really look forward to using it.

Also - I have downloaded the Multi Level inventory, and I dont know how to use it. Where are the tutorials or videos on how to use it please? I need to be able to put my inventory across different locations.
I managed to set up the 3 locations but dont know how to move the stock to them.

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

You have all the documentation here:

OK thank you.
It asks for the "regular price" but we have multi pricing per customer type - What do I put for the regualr price?

If you are using your own "custom" prices, I'd recommend you don't use the price per inventory feature and keep using your prices.

I cannot see any instructions on how to allocate stock quantites to each "location"
I have set up 3 locations - so how do I allocate their stock levels?

You should create the locations on the ATUM Locations taxonomy and, once done, you can assign the locations to any inventory by clicking the marker icon within the inventory data section:

I have another question please.

EquineAmericaNZ

ok no worries - I will leave the pricing field blank.

I have created the 3 locations - I am still unsure how to allocate the inventory to them?
I have read over the notes - I can see I dont have this option; could that be why?

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

That meta box is only present on products with Multi-Inventory disabled. Mainly because this is to assign them to products and not to inventories.
If you need to create your locations, you should do it as with any other WP custom taxonomy. Just go to the left menu sidebar and open Products >> ATUM Locations.

Best Regards,
Salva.

I have already created the locations - as per my message above.
I need to know how to link the products to the locations?

Salva

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

Did you read my previous message?
Do you understand what I said?

EquineAmericaNZ

hi Salvo
I dont think I understand sorry?

Salva

Hi EquineAmericaNZ

OK, let me explain it again.

If you enable Multi-Inventory for any product, that meta box you mentioned in your previous post (the one shown in the screenshot you attached) is not available. That meta box is only for products with Multi-Inventory disabled.

When Multi-Inventory is enabled for any product, the locations must be set per inventory (and not per product). So you have to click the marker icon on the inventory data section (https://stockmanagementlabs.crunch.help/en/atum-multi-inventory/the-multi-inventory-data-fields) and assign them from it to every inventory.

I hope it's more clear now 🙂

Best Regards,
Salva.
