Inventory Construction Software
The Inventory Module in FOUNDATION for Windows construction software
was designed to assist contractors with the management of their
inventories, including detailed tracking of quantities, types, price
levels and stocking locations. The Inventory Module offers the option
of perpetual quantity tracking or job-costing-only methods. With
quantity tracking, the on-hand, on-order, allocated, back-ordered
and available quantities are displayed in a simple summary format.
With either method, detailed cost history may be posted directly
to Job Costing and reported with other jobs.

Flexible Inventory Item Setup
An unlimited number of items with description can be defined in
FOUNDATION construction software. Flexible categorization with multiple
levels provides a powerful look-up function and report filtering.
Different units of measure for purchasing, stocking and delivery
can be used for each item, and the system automatically converts
these units based on user-defined conversion tables.
Multiple pricing levels offer great flexibility in billing.
A simple import utility interfaces with major pricing services.
Pricing and costs can be based on average, standard or last
cost, and costs can be maintained by item and vendor.

Customized Item Search Tool
FOUNDATION construction software simplifies the process of locating
the correct item number from potentially thousands of inventory
items you may enter in the system. Using a completely customized
categorization of items, the Item Search tool allows you to drill
down through the categories to find a particular item. Users may
wish to setup categories as basic descriptions or as a hierarchy
with up to six levels. Double-click an item to instantly use it
in the related transaction.

Multiple Stocking Locations
In addition to the main stocking location, this module allows an unlimited number of alternate stocking
locations. Examples include warehouses or truck inventory. Separate inventories can be entered and tracked for
each location. The module features simple and flexible recording of transfers of equipment or materials from one
stocking location to another, or from stocking location to job, or job to stocking location.

Optional Simplified Inventory
Detailed tracking of inventory quantities is possible with the
Inventory Module, but, for users who want a more simplified approach,
the module also offers a lot of flexibility. Items can be received
from vendor to job without ever becoming an "on-hand"
quantity. Inventory expense can be costed to jobs without defining
and tracking specific inventory items. Purchase orders and inventory
receipts are optional steps, allowing the immediate costing of goods
in one quick step.
