In Inventory Control (module 5), Warehouse master (Task 19) each item has a picking sequence. This picking sequence is the spot the item is located in the warehouse. When you receive the merchandise it should be put away in this picking sequence. When you sell the item it should be physically taken out of this picking sequence. Sometimes the warehouse picking sequence doesn’t have enough room for the inventory. In this situation the excess inventory is kept in another reserved area in the warehouse. The inventory tracking system allows inventory to be moved from a “picking sequence slot” to a “reserve slot”. This is a way to know where the excess inventory is located.
The inventory tracking system is located in Inventory control (module 5)
