What is covered
What Sage 300 Inventory Control does
Sage 300 Inventory Control is where stock management happens for manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale businesses. Every item has a detailed record covering costing method, unit of measure, reorder points, vendor information, and the GL accounts it posts to when received, shipped, or adjusted.
Receipts into inventory come through the Purchase Orders module or directly through IC receipts. Shipments out post from Order Entry. Adjustments for cycle counts, write-offs, or transfers between locations are handled directly in IC. Every movement is recorded with date, quantity, cost, and the transaction source.
For BC businesses in distribution or manufacturing with traceability requirements, lot and serial number tracking in Sage 300 IC records which specific lots or units were received, where they are stored, and where they were shipped. This is critical for product recall management, customer service, and regulatory compliance.
Physical inventory counts can be processed within Sage 300 IC. Count sheets are generated by location, quantities are entered, and variances are reviewed and posted in a controlled process that maintains audit trail integrity. Cycle counting for high-turnover items is also supported.
Key capabilities
Common questions about Sage 300 IC.
Common questions about this service answered directly.
What does the Sage 300 Inventory Control module manage?
Sage 300 Inventory Control manages item records, stock levels across multiple locations, cost tracking using FIFO, LIFO, or moving average costing, lot and serial number tracking, physical inventory counts, reorder point management, and item assembly. It integrates with Order Entry and Purchase Orders so stock levels update automatically when orders are processed.
Does Sage 300 Inventory Control support multiple warehouse locations?
Yes. Sage 300 IC supports multi-location inventory, meaning stock can be tracked separately across warehouses, locations, or storage bins. Transfer transactions between locations are fully documented and post to the GL. Reports can be run per location or consolidated across all locations.
What costing methods does Sage 300 Inventory Control support?
Sage 300 IC supports FIFO (first in, first out), LIFO (last in, first out), moving average cost, standard cost, and most recently purchased cost methods. The costing method is set at the item category level and affects how inventory value is calculated on your balance sheet and how cost of goods sold posts to the GL.
Can Sage 300 IC handle lot and serial number tracking?
Yes. Lot tracking records which lot of an item was received, where it was sold, and what remains in stock. Serial number tracking manages individual unit identity from receipt through sale. Both are important for manufacturing businesses with traceability requirements and for BC businesses in food, pharmaceutical, or regulated product sectors.
How does Sage 300 Inventory Control integrate with Order Entry?
When an order is shipped in Sage 300 Order Entry, inventory quantities are decremented automatically in IC without any manual step. The cost of the items shipped posts to the GL at the correct cost value based on your chosen costing method. This integration removes a major source of inventory discrepancy common in businesses using separate systems for orders and stock.
