Identify item characteristics like reorder levels, expiration, batch/serial tracking, and valuation.
Track the movement and levels of inventory in real time between warehouses.
Make decision making easy for stock optimization, production, sales, and purchase.
Stock Masters form the backbone of inventory management in ERPNext with the support of automation, traceability, and control across the supply chain.
