Hello,
Does anyone know what the standard way to handle full piece items vs partial items is in the inventory management world? We currently keep our full piece steel sheets in an entirely separate warehouse within Sage even though it's physically in the same warehouse. This causes some confusion when it comes to run reports for and process through physical inventory due to having to basically combine the two warehouses to get the information correctly for our one true physical warehouse.
I suspect that this is not how it should be done, and instead full piece should be added into a location/bin like everything else within the main warehouse. What is the recommended way to do this? One bin for full and one bin for partials? Full sheets and partial sheets currently share the same item code, what differs is the amount of steel available. Currently we store metal sheets on site but are only charged for what we use which is why keeping the distinction is important for us. Perhaps two different item codes, one partial one full?
Any recommendations? Thanks!
