The Inventory and Purchasing Manager tracks lens usage, generates purchase orders, and maintains inventory counts and back-order status.  Inventory levels are shared with the lens database, ensuring that lenses chosen by the lens calculation  programs are actually in stock.  Inventory reports are generated using the Inventory Reports Module.

Inventory and Purchasing Manager Features Include:
Windows® user interface Manipulate and view inventory data using a mouse and intuitive graphics. 
Multi-tasking lets inventory tasks such as purchase order generation continue to run while other programs
are in use. 
Online vendor information  The software maintains  data for each vendor including contact names, addresses, payment terms and shipping references.
Purchase order generation  Order quantities are determined by replacing  inventory items by using three
methods: simple replenishment, minimum quantity, and order point ordering methods.  Purchase orders
can be generated  for some or all of the vendors.  Sets of preferred vendors can be saved and recalled later.

Purchase order review  Once generated, purchase orders can be reviewed and edited.  Using a Windows®  tab-style format, you can easily switch among information for several vendors.
Automated receipt and updates  When shipments arrive, they are received against outstanding purchase orders by using a bar code scanner, manual counting or marking the entire order as received  with a single entry.  Inventory levels and back-order status are automatically updated. 
Multiple ordering options  Purchase orders can be printed or electronically transmitted as an OPC file.  OPC transmissions can be scheduled to take place at selected times to take advantage of lower telephone rates or to meet ordering deadlines.
Improved shortage management  Long-lead back-order items can be reviewed  and replaced if necessary by new purchase orders for equivalent items.  Shortages can be filled with special orders that identify the trays waiting for material.
Increased productivity  Following lens calculations Innovations searches the lens database for appropriate lenses in stock.  Accurate inventory management assures that lenses chosen are actually on hand.
Cost control  Closely monitoring inventory may help identify inefficient stocking patterns or savings
associated with minimum orders or alternative vendors.
