Alternative Articles
Quick overview of alternative items and available inventory for a specific item.

Order Recommendations with Central Inventory View

How does Stock Control work?
Stock Control consolidates all relevant inventory information into a single overview. From the item master record or while entering a sales or purchase order, you can immediately see the available inventory for an item. Depending on the modules you’ve selected, you’ll also see alternative items and inventory levels at sister companies.
When an item is out of stock, Stock Control can suggest alternatives or provide insight into available inventory in other systems. In addition, the solution automatically calculates reorder recommendations based on configured stock levels and historical data. It considers not only suppliers but also any excess inventory at sister companies.
By making this information immediately available in the places where users work every day, faster and more informed decisions can be made regarding deliveries, inventory allocation, and purchasing.
How does Stock Control benefit your organization?
With Stock Control, you can get more value out of existing inventory and avoid unnecessary purchases. By providing insight into alternative items and available inventory at sister companies, products can be shipped from existing inventory more often before new orders are needed.
In addition, the ordering recommendations help better align inventory levels with actual demand. This reduces the risk of shortages while making excess inventory easier to manage. Employees spend less time manually checking inventory levels and searching for available alternatives.
The result is a more efficient inventory process, improved product availability, and better-informed purchasing decisions. This provides greater control over inventory management and supports higher delivery reliability for customers.
