This module helps create indents from HQ, so your outlet staff don’t have to make them from the outlets to the warehouse. The Inventory team at HQ will take care of those requests directly.
To get started, you’ll need to choose the warehouse it’s going to and the outlet making the request, along with any other necessary details. Once that’s all set, an advice will be generated and sent to the outlet. The outlet will then automatically treat this advice as an indent to the warehouse.
In the warehouse's STO screen, you’ll need to click on Load Indent, pick the outlet, and then process and save the indent as STO. After that, it will be sent to the outlet and imported there as STI.
To do this:
Navigate to BPM > Inventory Management > Indent Portal.
Choose the warehouse from the list.
Choose the outlet from the list.
Choose the indent portal template from the list.
Put the required quantities.
Click the Save Indent button.
To import the indents without a template via csv file:
Open the indent portal screen and select Warehouse and Outlet from the list.
Click the Import CSV button.
Click the Download Template button.
Fill out the item code and the qty.
Click Select File button.
Select the indent_item_import file.
Click Open button.
Click Import CSV button.
Verify the items and their quantities, then click Save Indent button.
Note: If you put invalid items codes in the CSV file you will get error while importing the CSV file. Check out the screenshot below:
