Logistic processes within SAP Business One
In addition to inventory management, SAP Business One also supports the most important logistics processes in the warehouse. Goods receipts, internal movements and deliveries are recorded and directly linked to purchasing and sales documents.
Stock levels and warehouse locations are updated in real time, so that all departments work with the same up-to-date information. With batch and serial number management, you also ensure complete traceability of products.
Thus SAP Business One forms a solid basis for logistics processes within your organization, without additional modules.

Get more out of your inventory management
SAP Business One supports different inventory valuation methods per item, such as standard cost, moving average and FIFO (first in, first out).
Planning data is recorded in the article master data. Among other things, here you define the purchasing method (such as make or buy), the purchasing interval (e.g. daily, weekly or monthly), series size, minimum order quantities and average lead time.
This gives you more control over your inventory planning and better coordinates purchasing and availability.

SAP Business One Inventory Management
You manage a warehouse where you store inventory locally. Over- and under-stocking cause orders to be delayed and customer satisfaction to suffer.
You want to gain better insight into inventory turnover, backlogged orders and items that are below minimum or above maximum. In addition, you want to plan inventory purchases based on actual demand rather than gut feeling.
See in the video how to achieve this with SAP Business One.
Inventory Management
Serialization
Using templates, you can create serial numbers automatically, but manual assignment is also possible. In this case, serial numbers are assigned when an item is released from stock or optionally with each transaction.
In addition, you can assign batches to products and arrange them by, for example, shelf life or other characteristics. You then use these batches for customer orders, delivery notes and stock movements, thus maintaining full traceability.
In specific situations, you may need to value your inventory differently. With the report function for updating stock valuation methods, you easily select items from a list and replace the existing valuation method with another one.
