Inventory
Use stock transactions to record receipts, issues, transfers and reconciliation. Confirm warehouses, units, batches and serial numbers before submission. Use the stock ledger to investigate movements rather than editing an item to simulate stock.
↗10 documented pagesSerials & Batches
Use serial numbers and batches for traceability where enabled on the item. Record identifiers through the permitted stock document and its serial/batch controls. Review movement history and expiry information before issuing stock.
↗9 documented pagesFederal Logistics Codes
Maintain NSN-related references and fixed code lists for federal supply classes, units, demilitarization and other logistics attributes. The reference fields support identification; they are not a live FED LOG entitlement or automatic catalogue feed.
↗23 documented pagesItems & Categories
Create items with their identifiers, units and applicable stock settings. Choose classification through the category hierarchy. Keep UNSPSC item groups and supplier categories consistent with the products and services being traded.
↗3 documented pagesItem Prices
Store the item, price list, rate, currency and applicable validity information. Compare buying and selling price lists carefully. A new Item Price should be checked in an actual draft quotation or order before relying on it.
↗20 documented pagesPurchasing
Start with a material requirement, request supplier quotations, compare responses, issue a purchase order and receive the delivery. Record the purchase invoice and payment in Finance & Accounting after the appropriate checks.
↗2 documented pagesBarcode & QR Scanning
Use the item barcode field or the NexCom scanning work area to resolve an identifier to an ERP item. Confirm the result, warehouse and quantity before completing the stock or commercial transaction.
↗5 documented pagesSubcontracting
Define the subcontracting requirement, required materials and the supplier service. Use the configured subcontracting order, delivery and receipt records to account for material supplied and goods returned.
↗11 documented pagesSuppliers
Create the Supplier master and associate contacts, addresses and supply categories. Review vendor registrations separately; creating the master does not grant a portal login access to purchasing documents.
↗7 documented pagesWarehouses
Build a warehouse tree that reflects physical or operational locations. Group warehouses organize the tree; transaction warehouses hold stock. Check the company and parent warehouse before creating a new location.
↗2 documented pagesSupplier Portal
Suppliers can review the opportunities and documents their approved account is permitted to access. Supply-category selection follows the chained hierarchy. Support and order enquiries link to Helpdesk tickets.
↗Task tutorials
Create a supplier and link its address
An address may exist without a supplier link. Creating or renaming an Address does not automatically update an existing order’s stored address.
↗TutorialReview vendor requests to become suppliers
Creating a Supplier alone does not grant portal access. Do not approve a login against a different company’s supplier record.
↗TutorialChoose UNSPSC item and supplier categories
Do not create a separate free-text UNSPSC catalogue entry. The configured hierarchy is held in the ERP item groups and supplier groups/categories.
↗TutorialMaintain federal logistics item references
Reference fields do not automatically retrieve FED LOG data. Any feed or import requires authorized source access and an approved integration.
↗TutorialRequest and compare supplier quotations
A submitted bid or portal response is not automatically an awarded order. Keep clarification and support requests associated with their Helpdesk ticket.
↗TutorialCreate a purchase order and receive goods
The supplier master address can change after an order was created. Reselect the address on the draft order when it needs to be refreshed.
↗TutorialRecord a stock transfer
Use physical quantities and permitted stock controls. Editing an Item master does not change its warehouse balance.
↗TutorialScan an item barcode
Check duplicate or missing barcode mappings if the wrong item is returned. A scan identifies the item; it does not authorize a stock issue.
