Viewing Inventory and Stock Levels
After getting logged into the system click the “Inventory” button located in the navigation bar at the top of the page. Once you are on the Inventory page take notice of the three additional section links available for: Item, Lot and Piece. These section links are located at the top of the middle body section and run across the top. By default the page will load with the Item section active – notated by the blue underline. For most intent and purposes the Item section will be the most used. However you can also use the Lot and Piece to filter and search with those criteria in mind.
In order to display any data you will need to start by clicking the blue “Display” button. You will need to repeat this action when visiting either section. At this point you will see a grid with inventory information displayed. The grid will display 10 rows with pagination at the bottom. You can quickly filter and search by using any of the empty input boxes above the grid columns. Simply enter in characters and the grid will auto filter. Remove the characters from the column input to show all items again. You can also click the bolded column titles to sort by high/low. Performing these sorting features will pull and sort from all of your inventory data (not just the data displayed in the initial 10 rows).
This grid will display all needed information about your inventory. The last four columns on the grid can help provide a 100 foot view for aggressive inventory needs. The Qty Available column is adjusted from the Qty Outbound. Same as the Qty Projected is adjusted from the Qty Inbound. The Qty on Hand will display the units available in the warehouse for shipping.
After getting logged into the system find the “Activity” button located in the navigation bar at the top of the page. Use the dropdown on the Activity navigation link to view your shipments; go to Activity < Shipments.
Once you are on the Shipments page take notice of the two additional section links available for: Pending Shipments and Posted Shipments. These section links are located at the top of the middle body section and run across the top. By default the page will load with the Pending Shipment section active – notated by the blue underline. Most of time you will be searching in the Posted Shipments section.

Enter your quantities for each item by inputing a value into the Qty boxes, located at the far right of the grid, for each row/item. Once you have added your items to the Order Entry form you can proceed down to add comments or include attachments if needed.
At this point you can submit your Order Entry form. The entry will stay in your Order Entry section for a short time to allow for any edits.
