Entering Inventory

When you start tracking inventory for a product, the number you currently have in stock must be entered as the starting point in JobTracker. You do that by creating a purchase order with the products and their starting counts and then receiving the purchase order. If you want to be able to create a view of all your remnant pieces you'll need to either add the remnants individually* or send us a spreadsheet that we can load for you.

Watch a short video for an overview of using inventory

Adding current stock using a purchase order

1. Go to Purchasing > New PO....
2. Select the supplier and cost list and click OK .
3. In the PO Lines section click on Add > Product... and select the desired products from the list and enter the number you have on hand.
4. If the desired product is not on the list then the product was not added to the cost list you selected when creating the purchase order. You will need to create a purchase order for each supplier for which you have product on hand.
5. When you have finished selecting the products and entering their count, click on and then click OK to receive the products and add the amounts to your inventory count. For products you are tracking by serial number, JobTracker will generate a serial number. You can change the serial number later if desired

We can import your existing inventory data from a spreadsheet. Please contact us to discuss the details.
