Learn New Ways To Manage Your Inventory 

Whether you are new to using Sage MAS 90 or 200 or if you want to learn ways to optimize your current inventory processes, taking the Inventory Management course will be beneficial.  Successful inventory management starts with proper set up of your Inventory Management System, followed by consistent and accurate processing within it. Take this class to learn the critical functions and features, including set up options, how to enter inventory items, kits and transactions and how to use these tools to count and update your physical inventory. To give you a well-rounded foundation of knowledge, we also discuss the integration to other modules within Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 ERP, reporting options and period-end processing.

Next class scheduled for October 22, 2007. 

Contact Kathy Preston, extension 445 to discuss class options and to answer any questions.
