Sage 100 inventory management made simple

Accurate inventory control is crucial in modern business. Out-of-stock items cost you sales, while overstocked inventory ties up valuable capital and warehouse space. Inaccurate inventory valuations can distort your financial statements and lead to poor business decisions.

That’s where Sage 100 inventory management comes in. Formerly known as Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200, Sage 100 has evolved into a powerful ERP solution trusted by thousands of distribution and manufacturing companies. Whether you’re managing a single warehouse or multiple locations, Sage 100 Inventory Management provides the precise control and real-time visibility you need to optimize your operations.

Sage 100 inventory management is designed to provide precise control and insight into every aspect of your inventory. It allows businesses to track items from receipt to shipment, monitor movement across multiple warehouses, and maintain accurate valuation for financial reporting.

From lot and serial tracking to comprehensive reporting on pricing, sales history, and reorder recommendations, the module acts as the foundation for efficient distribution and manufacturing. By integrating with purchasing, order entry, and production modules, Sage 100 ensures that the right products are always available when needed—without overstocking.

Implementing inventory management in Sage 100 delivers measurable value across your operations:

• Reduce stockouts and overstocking with real-time inventory visibility.
• Lower carrying costs through accurate demand forecasting and reorder planning.
• Increase productivity with streamlined warehouse workflows and automated restocking.
• Improve customer satisfaction by ensuring timely fulfillment and accurate shipments.
• Enhance decision-making through powerful inventory and cost reporting.
• Support growth with multi-warehouse management and scalable configuration.

Sage 100 inventory management offers a robust set of capabilities designed to improve operational efficiency, data accuracy, and profitability. Features include:

Easily manage inventory across multiple warehouse locations and transfer items seamlessly between them. Organize items into bins and track movement by warehouse for improved visibility.

Create smart part numbers up to 30 characters long that embed meaningful data—such as vendor codes or handling instructions. Assign alias item numbers to vendors or customers to simplify order processing.

Set detailed price schedules and determine costs using standard, average, FIFO, LIFO, or lot/serial methods. Establish promotional and contract pricing, discounts, or markups for specific customers or warehouses.

Track items by lot or serial number for full traceability, ensuring compliance and quality control. View expiration dates and use the Lot and Serial Expiration Status Report to identify expiring or recalled inventory.

Conduct physical counts without interrupting order processing. Use barcode printing and scanning to speed up counting, picking, and receiving tasks.

Build preassembled or customizable kits using component items. Automatically explode components during order entry or modify kits for customer-specific requirements.

Use Inventory Requirements Planning to forecast demand, identify reorder points, and automatically generate purchase orders or work tickets. Integrate with Sage Inventory Advisor for cloud-based optimization and advanced analytics.

Sage 100’s inventory management seamlessly integrates with modules like Purchase Order, Sales Order, Return Merchandise Authorization, and Production Management to deliver end-to-end visibility across the supply chain.
