Inventory setup

Infor Public Sector provides the tools that you need to manage your inventory of parts, including the types of parts that your agency uses and the stock areas where they are stored.

Each type of part in your inventory is represented by a part catalog record. Each record includes a variety of information, including a description of the part, its unit of weight, shelf life, hazard codes, and important details about where it is stored. You can also specify parts that can serve as a substitute if the part is unavailable.

Infor Public Sector organizes your inventory by stock areas. Stock areas can be a variety of places, such as buildings, vehicles, rooms, or closets. You can divide your stock areas into smaller stock locations to help you find parts more easily and track the use of parts more precisely. After you've assigned parts to stock areas, you can track all movements of parts in your inventory. You can then create transactions to receive specific quantities of parts into those stock areas, issue parts, transfer parts between stock areas, and so on. Infor Public Sector automatically keeps track of the number of parts on hand in each stock area.

You can also create vendor and manufacturer catalog records to cross-reference the parts in your agency's inventory with the part information provided by the vendor and manufacturer.
