About This Course

The Microsoft DynamicsT SL Inventory class explores all aspects of the Inventory module from the initial setup of inventory items and the multiple methods of valuation supported, to the types of inventory transactions available and the tight integration to the Purchasing and Order Management modules.

You learn how to control inventory challenges and maximize your company's net profits based on the way you do business. You see how to define default inventory account numbers, COGS, variances, sites, product classes, valuation methods and more, which will improve efficiency and cut down on costly data entry errors. This class shows you how to group items for pricing, promotional, or analytical purposes and by type, such as finished good, raw material, component, and more. You see how to quickly find information such as inventory quantity on hand, quantity available, quantity on back order, costs, and list prices, and where to drill down to transaction details. You learn how to manage multiple warehouses, negative quantities, and lot/serial numbers. You see how Lot/Serial Number tracking is streamlined during inventory transaction entry.

You can simplify entry and reconciliation of physical inventory counts with a variety of options, including the ability to freeze inventory quantities so they are not updated by day-to-day transactions while you are counting.
