Release 1 & 2

New Feature (s)

Stockroom & Stock Transfer (Multi-warehouse support)

  • With the Stockroom feature, you can now manage your stock available in different warehouses and vans across multiple locations. Product Stock can be in different warehouses of the company or with the distributors. 
  • How does this work - A Product's Qty in Stock, Committed Stock, Incoming Stock, and Available Stock values are computed by aggregating the stock from all the Stockrooms the product is in. 
  • You can use two Stockroom Types to manage your stock - Warehouse and Van. 
  • Consider this example:
    •  A2Z Appliances has warehouses and service centers across the country in different locations. They can track appliances and spare parts in each location using the Stockroom feature. This will help them in sending the products or spare parts available in the nearest location to their customer:
      • Enabling on-time delivery
      • Faster and more efficient customer service in case of product issues.
  • Limitation
    • Stock can be transferred within the organization’s Stockrooms and not across different organizations. You must create a sales order to transfer stock between organizations.  

Pricing Guidance 

  • Vtiger’s Pricing Guidance feature suggests the best discount you can apply to a Deal or Quote based on historical discount data like revenues and past discounts. 
  • You can customize matching parameters for recommendations based on discounts given to the same organization, industry, product, or service. 
  • You can choose the appropriate discount value and add it to the Deal or Quote.
  • Pricing Guidance is available as an Add-on for the Deals and Quotes modules in the Extension Store.
