How to Use SingleOps Inventory

SingleOps offers a way to keep track of your materials through the Inventory feature. This feature can be used to ensure you have enough materials for a specific Job or for making sure the costs you are recording on your Jobs match the Inventory you are depleting.

How to Set Your Inventory:

1. Navigate to: Admin > Items > Items
   
   
2. Select Edit next to the material Item you would like to include in Inventory
   
   
3. Navigate to the Advanced tab
   
   
4. Uncheck the box that reads Non-Inventoried
   
   
5. Select Update & Close to save your changes
   
   
6. Create a Purchase Order(s) that includes the Inventory item(s). You can find more information on how to create Purchase Orders here
   
   Note: When creating a Purchase Order to initially set/reset your Inventory, you may want to consider adding SingleOps or another placeholder Vendor to that Purchase Order. If the Purchase Order is synced to Quickbooks as a Bill, you will need to remove the Bill from Quickbooks.
   
   
7. Approve the Purchase Order 

Note: Inventory is Operation specific. A Purchase Order created for a specific Operation will only add the Inventory to that Operation.

How to Manage Your Inventory: 

Once your Inventory is set, the Inventory Item quantities will automatically deplete as the material is used on jobs & those jobs are marked as Approved.

Note: As mentioned above, Inventory is Operation specific. Materials used on a Job will only deplete the Inventory of the associated Operation. 

Inventory Item quantities can also be manually manipulated following the steps below:

1. From your menu bar, navigate to: Purchases > Inventory
   
   
2. Select the appropriate Operation
   
   
3. To add or deplete Inventory, click the corresponding button to the right side of the Item
   or select Transfer to move Inventory from one Operation to another
   
   
4. Enter the quantity to be adjusted, appropriate Operation for transfers, & any additional notes regarding the changes
   
   
5. Select Submit Change
