Inventory check

[NiloferShaik]

Working on a Proof of Concept on CSM. A  retailer submits a form asking for restock of a particular product(in our scenario its stock of medicines for example covid vaccines, first aid kits etc). When the form is submitted a case has been created and assigned to the certain groups. Now the group from wholesaler has to check the inventory whether the stock is available in their inventory or not.

Hi @NiloferShaik 

- You can store product details, including quantities, in the Product Catalog. This can work well if you want to list items like medicines (e.g., COVID vaccines, first aid kits) and track their availability. However, the Product Catalog is more focused on defining products and services offered to customers rather than actively managing inventory levels.

- Asset Management , is also a good option. If you’re thinking of tracking each individual item (for example, each specific batch of medicine),  It allows you to track the lifecycle and ownership of specific assets, which can be useful for things like tracking which particular items are available in the wholesaler’s inventory.

- Inventory Management (Best Option):
For managing stock levels, Inventory Management is the best approach. This module is specifically designed to track inventory quantities across different locations (such as the wholesaler's warehouse). You can manage stock levels, perform inventory transactions, and check if the requested medicines are available in stock.
