How To
Set Up an Inventory Control System
No matter
what type of business you are in, you have some sort of inventory. Office
equipment, paper, supplies, tables, chairs, desks, products, tools, etc.
Depending on the type of business you are operating, the system could be quite
complex or really simple.
Restaurant,
retail store, automotive repair shop all use supplies,
parts and products that they use, sell and they need a way to track them.
This in
short tells you what you have, where you bought it, how much it cost, cost of
retail, retail price, profit, quantity in stock, total inventory cost, inventory
retail value and inventory profit potential.
