• Reports can be made individually, as groups, etc.. and integrated into report with timestamps & user signoffs
• Needs to be fast.. entering name/date per item as with current system is noooo good.
• Color coding uses
  • Stock levels (set warning levels)
  • Last checked date
• Product groupings, ordering groupings
• Expected deliveries and delivery processing integration into "control panel"

Main Needs:

• Cross-vendor inventory tracking (may include assigning internal item codes)
  • Out of Stock reporting & summarizing
• Vendor details & comments
• Price list printing
• Poss price checking
• Special order handling
• "Presentation" of expected deliveries (and maintenance visits, etc), and receiving process
  • In receiving process
    • Feedback on vendor O/S, credits, delivery time, damaged goods, etc.

• + $/month calculations
• + $/shelf space calculations?

Issues to deal with:

• Overstock w/ different prices
• Special orders are tricky, they're sometimes separate orders, sometimes subsets of larger scheduled orders
