Quick guide to each tab. Tabs you cannot access are hidden from the navigation bar based on your role.

General — Use Refresh (top left, when signed in) to reload data. Most inventory actions are tied to the branches you are assigned to. Sign in is required for all API access.

Summary

All users

High-level view of inventory value and quantities across the organization or a single branch.

  • Overview — totals and value by branch.
  • Part# — summary grouped by part number across branches.
  • Branch View — pick a branch to see its on-hand inventory snapshot (similar to the Inventory tab).

Inventory

All users

Browse serialized inventory for a selected branch. Filter, sort, and export what is on hand.

  • Select a branch to load serial-level rows (part number, category, serial #, customer, dates, value, sub-office, etc.).
  • Column filters and sorting help narrow large lists.
  • Export options (where your role allows) for reporting.

Receive

All users (branch access applies)

Record new inventory arriving at a branch — one serial number per line.

  • Pick branch and sub-office (if configured), then part number, source (vendor), category, manufacturer, PO, invoice, unit cost, and serial numbers.
  • Typeahead fields filter together: choosing a part number limits vendor and category options to valid combinations.
  • Items with multiple vendors show all linked sources in the vendor list, not only the preferred one.
  • New part numbers must be created on Manage Items and approved before they appear here.
  • The banner shows the current working month (days 1–7 of a month count as the prior month).

Delete

All users (branch access applies)

Remove inventory from a branch when equipment is sold, scrapped, or otherwise leaves stock. (The tab is labeled Delete; it records a SELL transaction.)

  • Select branch, part number, customer, invoice, and serial numbers to delete from inventory.
  • Serial numbers must already exist at that branch.

Corrections

Admins and Branch Managers

Fix invoice number and customer on past Receive and Delete (sell) transactions without re-posting inventory.

  • Load transactions for a branch and date range.
  • Edit invoice or customer on individual rows and save each change.
  • Branch Managers only see branches they are assigned to.

Transfer

Admins, Accountants, and Branch Managers

Move serial numbers from one branch to another.

  • Choose source branch, destination branch, part number, and serial numbers.
  • Branch Managers may transfer only between branches they are assigned to (at least two required).

Sub-Offices

Admins, Accountants, and Branch Managers

Define sub-locations within a branch (e.g. stock room vs. install bay) and assign serials to them.

  • Create, rename, or remove sub-offices for a branch.
  • Set a default sub-office used when receiving inventory.
  • Assign or reassign serial numbers to sub-offices from the inventory list (where available).

Manage Items

All users

Create or update the master list of part numbers (item types), categories, manufacturers, and vendors.

  • Create or Update Item — part number, category, manufacturer, and one or more vendors (mark one preferred).
  • New items start as PENDING until an admin approves them on the Admin tab.
  • Resubmitting a rejected item with corrections sets it back to PENDING.
  • Edit Existing Items (admin) — load and edit approved items in bulk.
  • Create New Vendor (admin) — add a vendor name to the vendors table.

Best Price Lookup

All users

Search historical pricing from imported invoices.

  • Part-number search and price history from imported invoice data.

Adjust Values

Admins and Accountants

Update the current book value of serialized inventory. Purchase cost is set at receive and is not changed here.

  • Filter and sort serials, then edit current value per row or in bulk.
  • Other serial fields (serial number, customer, date received) may be editable where exposed.

Admin

Admins only

User provisioning, item approvals, and vendor setup.

  • Load Users — set status (ACTIVE / PENDING / DISABLED), role, and branch assignments.
  • Review Pending Items — approve or reject new part numbers submitted from Manage Items.
  • Create New Vendor — add vendor names used when assigning items.
