-We use a couple queries to produce a count of items in stock, and compare this with the items that are not in stock (qty = 0). This is a good indicator to bring your attention to missed steps or improper information being added to system five. As a rule of thumb if the percentage items stocked is less than or equal to 50% of the total number of inventory being imported the data has not been cleaned. It may contain items that should be in the auxilliary database, or items that are no longer used and need to be removed. Here is a way to quickly check this figure:+We use a couple queries to produce a count of items in stock, and compare this with the items that are not in stock (qty = 0).

   * Use this formula to calculate the percentage of inventory items in stock: Stocked Items / Total Number of Items * 100   * Use this formula to calculate the percentage of inventory items in stock: Stocked Items / Total Number of Items * 100

-The Virtual Warehouse (Formerly known as the Auxilliary database) is used as a price list made up of price lists from each of your suppliers. It is important to understand what the purpose of the Virtual Warehouse is so you can make sure parts that should be in the Virtual Warehouse are not placed into regular inventory. If a part is not normally stocked, and it is not a special order item and is not seasonal item then it should not be an inventory item. To rephrase: If a part is stocked, or is a special order item or is a seasonal item it should be an inventory item; if one of those is not true then it should be a Virtual Warehouse item/part.+The Virtual Warehouse (Formerly known as the Auxiliary database) is used as a price list made up of price lists from each of your suppliers.
