This article explains what the Central Warehouse add on is, along with the basics of how to configure and use the warehouses.
What does the Central Warehouse Add-On do?
The Pinogy Point of Sale software allows you to create Warehouses to facilitate centralized ordering and fulfillment. Once a warehouse location has been created, you can select one or more of your locations to order from the warehouse. The products available from the warehouse get updated daily at the locations to help ensure products getting ordered are available at the warehouse. Once an purchase order has been placed by a location to the warehouse, a warehouse order is created. That order works through a workflow to get picked and sent back to the location. That location can then receive the order just like any other suppliers order.
In addition, when generating purchase orders at the warehouse will take into account sales and inventory at all configured locations.
