How does Effecta consume inventory?

Effecta® consumes inventory on a FIFO basis by default, or from manually specified lots when you need precise control over which lot fulfills an order.

Can Effecta track inventory before it reaches my warehouse?

Yes. Effecta® can start tracking inventory from the vendor location, so goods are visible from the moment they are committed to a purchase order — not only when they arrive at your warehouse.

Does Effecta support multiple units of measurement?

Yes. Effecta® supports two independent units of measurement per item, so you can buy, stock and sell in the units that fit each side of your operation.

Is inventory accounting included?

Yes. Inventory management and inventory accounting work together in Effecta®, with standard costing support, keeping inventory, information and financial accounting in sync.

What is the difference between inventory on hand and inventory available?

Inventory on hand is the quantity physically held in stock. Inventory available is the quantity that can be used or allocated after accounting for reservations, holds and other restrictions. The exact calculation depends on the system’s configuration.
