1.9 Step Five - Print Location Labels
Print Location Labels - If you have set up more than one location and you will be using a mobile device
with an integrated barcode scanner, it is a good idea to create Location labels for each location you have
entered into the system. This allows you to quickly scan a barcode label when auditing or adjusting
inventory at that location or when adding, removing, picking or receiving inventory to or from that location.
For ideas and examples of how to configure your labels, click here.
You can print labels automatically after creating your locations or you can
print from the Location List .
After printing your labels, attach them to each location. For example, if your locations are shelves, attach
a label to each shelf to identify it.
1.10 Step Six - Enter Suppliers
Enter Suppliers - Suppliers are those businesses or individuals from which you will be obtaining your
inventory. Your business might require that each Item in your inventory have an associated supplier. You
can have one supplier or many providing you with inventory.
If you already have supplier information contained in another database, you may want to use
InventoryControl's Import function rather than manually entering in this information.

1.11 Step Seven - Print the Supplier Report
Print the Supplier Report - If you have chosen to import your suppliers or manually enter all suppliers
prior to adding items, you should print and review the Supplier Report to make sure all the information
was entered correctly. To run the Supplier Report, from the Main screen, select the Reports icon. On
the
Select Report screen, double click Supplier Report.
1.12 Step Eight - Create Items
Create Items - Items represent the actual material or good that you will have in your inventory. The item
is a classification that contains information such as manufacturer, suppliers, a description of the item and
unit of measure information. The item is not part of your inventory until you add quantity to it and specify
a location for it. For example, you might create an Item entry for Mouse - Wireless. Then you can add
inventory, or quantity, to that item at a specific location.
On the Create New Item screen, you can assign the item to multiple locations and even designate one
location as the primary location for this item. The primary location will then pre-populate the screen when
removing, adding, receiving (Pro and Enterprise Version Only) and picking (Pro and Enterprise Version
Only) this item.
If you are using the Enterprise or Professional version of InventoryControl, you can also create items that
are non-inventory. This is useful if you need to create an item for marketing pamphlets, counter displays
or anything you need to have on-hand but don't necessarily want to include in your inventory amounts. In
addition, you can create Kit or Assembly Items. Please refer to the topics
Assembly Overview and
Kitting Overview for more information.
