Inventory and Order Management Group of Features
Feature | Overview |
---|---|
Inventory and Order Management |
A group of features that provides the functionality of inventory and order management. This functionality includes basic sales order management and purchase order management functionality. If you enable this group of features without enabling the Inventory feature within it, users can create sales orders and purchase orders that include only non-stock items (including services); they can also create and release sales invoices and AP bills for these documents. If you enable this group of features along with the Inventory feature, users can also use the inventory functionality. That is, they can use stock items, create shipments for sales orders and purchase receipts for purchase orders, and generate inventory transactions. Important: We recommend that you not
disable this group of features after it has been enabled in the
system and transactions related to this functionality have been
processed. Disabling this group of features after it has been
enabled and used in the system could lead to data corruption or
unexpected consequences in the system's operation. By disabling
it, you assume full responsibility for these potential effects.
If you disable this group of features, the system will automatically disable all other features in the group. Thus, you should first read the description of each currently enabled feature in this group and make sure that all the needed actions have been taken to avoid data corruption or unexpected consequences. If any features of the Service Management group are enabled and you disable the Inventory and Order Management group of features, make sure that the correct setting is specified in the Generated Billing Documents box on the Service Order Types (FS202300) form for all types, Equipment Management Preferences (FS100300), and Route Management Preferences (FS100400) forms. For more information about the implementation of basic inventory and order management, see Order Management Basic Configuration: General Information. |
Inventory |
A feature that gives your company the ability to maintain stock items and to create and process documents that include stock items. Stock items are physical items that are stored and managed through a warehouse and can be purchased, transferred, sold, or manufactured, and whose quantities and costs are tracked. With the feature enabled, forms related to the inventory functionality become available. The ability to track inventory levels can benefit companies across many industries, such as retail, wholesale distribution, manufacturing, e-commerce, and construction. With this feature enabled, users can maintain stock items in the system, process receipts and issues, and prepare and complete full physical counts. If your company does not track inventory but you want users to be able to enter purchase receipts for purchase orders with non-stock items, you enable the Purchase Receipts Without Inventory feature instead of this feature. Important:
For more information about the configuration of order management with inventory, see Configuration of Order Management: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Multiple Units of Measure |
A feature that gives users the ability to define multiple units of measure (UOMs) for each stock item or non-stock item. They can also create rules for conversion between UOMs. You may need to enable this feature if your company purchases, tracks, or sells items in different units of measure. For example, you may need this functionality if your company sells items by the piece but purchases and stores these items in storage containers, such as boxes, packages, or crates. With the feature enabled, users can specify prices for each unit of measure of an item. With this feature disabled, for each stock item, users can define only the base unit of measure, which is used for purchasing the item, selling it, and calculating its available quantity. Important:
For more information, see Units of Measure: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Lot and Serial Tracking |
A feature that gives users the ability to track stock items by lot or serial number and by expiration date. You may need to enable this feature if your company sells the following:

For more information, see Items with Lot and Serial Numbers: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Blanket and Standard Purchase Orders |
A feature that makes it possible to process blanket purchase orders. A blanket purchase order is an order representing a long-term agreement between a company and a supplier to deliver goods or services with a defined price over a specific period of time. You may need to enable this feature if your company has regular and predictable procurement requirements and long-term relationships with vendors. A blanket purchase order provides a streamlined way to make multiple purchases (through child orders) and track large item quantities under a single agreement over an extended period. With the feature enabled, you can process standard purchase orders—that is, orders with products that are purchased regularly in the same quantities and that can be processed repeatedly. These standard purchase orders can be used as a template for orders to speed the data entry. Important:
For more information, see Blanket Purchase Orders: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Purchase Receipts Without Inventory |
A feature that provides users with the ability to process purchases and sales of non-stock items by using purchase receipts and purchase returns when the Inventory feature is disabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. Businesses that may need to enable this feature—such as middle-sized offices, cafeterias, or construction companies that want to track receipts to compare them with bills but do not need inventory tracking—may want to order physical goods for the company’s use but not for sales or production. Thus, they do not need to track item quantities in the system. The purchase receipts can be useful for tracking purposes, serving as proof that the items have been received. Note:
If you disable the Inventory feature and enable the Purchase Receipts Without Inventory feature, the system will adjust the settings of existing non-stock items on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form. If the Require Receipt check box was selected for these non-stock items when the Inventory feature was enabled, the system will select the Process Item via Receipt check box. When the Purchase Receipts Without Inventory feature is disabled and the Inventory feature is enabled, the Require Receipt check box will be cleared for all non-stock items on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form, regardless of the state of the Process Item via Receipt check box. If there are documents in the system with non-stock items for which the Process Item via Receipt check box is selected, users will be able to process these documents as documents with lines of the Service type. For more information, see Purchases of Non-Stock Items and Services with Receipts: General Information. |
Drop Shipments |
A feature that gives users the ability to create and track orders for stock items or non-stock items that should be delivered directly from a vendor to a customer location. If your company is a retailer or e-commerce business or has diverse or specialized product offerings, you may need to enable this feature to improve order fulfillment speed. If your company is a small enterprise with limited warehouse space, you may need to enable this feature to reduce carrying costs associated with storing and managing inventory. Important:
For more information, see the following topics: |
Multiple Warehouses |
A feature that gives companies the ability to use multiple warehouses and track inventory appropriately in each warehouse. With the feature enabled, users can transfer inventory items between warehouses and use warehouse-specific sales prices and vendor prices. You may need to enable this feature if your company has multiple buildings, storage rooms, or other facilities for storing inventory items. Important:
For more information, see the following topics: |
Distribution Requirements Planning |
A feature that provides the functionality of distribution requirements planning (DRP). With the feature enabled, your company can use time-phased demand and supply planning with lead time offset to procure inventory only when it is needed. By using sales forecasts for the anticipated future demand, you can meet customer service levels more easily. Also, DRP optimizes procurement to mitigate stock shortages and minimize carrying costs and offers accurate resource use and real-time exception management. With this feature, users can balance supply and demand based on date-specific recommendations for unmet demand. The system groups supply and demand by time periods and generates alerts for late supply order issues, such as delayed delivery dates. Distributors who previously used a time-phased inventory planning tool usually include DRP as part of the primary inventory implementation phase. Distributors new to the concept of planning to demand may choose to implement DRP in the second phase of inventory implementation. Note:
For more information, see Inventory Planning Configuration: General Information. |
Multiple Warehouse Locations |
A feature that supports multiple locations for each warehouse. You may need to enable this feature if your company wants to organize warehouse space according to its physical representation. In this case, locations are shelves or storage places for which you can define the following:
Users can assign different pick priorities to locations in order to empty certain locations more quickly while using others less frequently. Important:
For more information, see Warehouse Locations and Single-Step Transfers: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Inventory Replenishment |
A feature that gives your company the ability to maintain the needed level of stock at warehouses by purchasing the appropriate quantity of stock items from vendors or by transferring that quantity from other warehouses to the needed warehouses. By using a demand forecast model, users can automatically calculate replenishment parameters based on sales statistics and perform replenishment for a specific future period based on historical sales data. They can perform replenishment through transfers if your company has multiple warehouses and replenishes stock items by transferring them from a warehouse where they are available. Users can perform replenishment through purchases if your company needs to purchase stock items at an appropriate time from particular vendors when the stock is below a certain level. If the Multiple Warehouses feature is enabled, users can perform replenishment through a warehouse that functions as a distribution center for consolidated purchasing: items are received in this warehouse, and goods are replenished to other warehouses from it. Note:
For more information, see Configuration of Replenishment: General Information. |
Matrix Items |
A feature that provides the functionality of creating and using matrix items (items with multiple attributes, such as materials, sizes, colors, or brands) in the system. It also gives users the ability to generate items with various attributes automatically by using predefined templates. You may need to enable this feature if your company is a distributor, retailer, or e-commerce business that needs to purchase or sell the same product in multiple variants. You can define the price of the product by using a template (an aggregating item) or by using a particular item (a matrix item), if needed. Important:
For more information, see Matrix Items: General Information and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Automatic Packaging |
A feature that makes the system calculate the optimal set of boxes for each sales order and shipments. The system adds the boxes (based on the list of carrier boxes), the item packaging options, and the item quantities to the document. If your company ships the items through an integrated carrier—such as FedEx, USPS, and UPS—the system calculates the shipping costs for each carrier so that users can select shipping option. This feature may be helpful if you need an early prediction of the freight cost before shipping and a suggestion about which boxes should be used for the goods in the shipment. Note:
For more information, see the following topics: |
Kit Assembly |
A feature that gives your company the ability to create and track kits in the system. A kit is a bundled and assembled product made up of individual items and components.

For more information on kits, see Inventory Item Kits and Configuration of Order Management: Disabling of the Inventory and Order Management Features. |
Related Items |
A feature that gives companies the ability to use the functionality of related items—such as cross-sell, up-sell, and substitute items—to increase the value of sales and improve customer satisfaction. Retailers will benefit from this feature because it simplifies item selection when an employee receives a sales order by phone or enters a direct invoice in the following scenarios:
Note:
For more information, see Related Items in Sales Orders: General Information. |
Advanced Physical Count | A feature that gives companies the ability to categorize the
inventory by physical count type and to perform the counts by
inventory IDs, item classes, user-defined cycles, movement classes,
or ABC codes. The feature will benefit any company that owns a
midsize or large warehouse by reducing the time for the physical
counting process, thus minimizing disruptions to daily operations. Note:

Custom Order Types |
A feature that gives companies the ability to create more order types to support business processes that cannot be supported with the predefined order types. For example, the company may need to configure a custom order type that uses different sets of general ledger accounts and subaccounts and different numbering sequences to determine order IDs. Also, this type might have different processing options specified, such as the setting that causes the system to perform a credit check when the orders of this type are entered. Note:
For more information, see Custom Sales Order Types. |
Purchase Requisitions |
A feature that gives users the ability to create purchase requests and requisitions for customers and employees. Users can also perform bidding to find the best prices and control budget compliance.

Paperless Picking |
A feature that enables a more efficient warehouse management process by eliminating the need for printed pick lists. Warehouse managers can organize picking jobs, set priorities, and assign tasks digitally for single-shipment, wave, and batch pick lists if the Advanced Picking feature is enabled. This digital approach speeds the picking and packing processes, enhances operational flexibility, and reduces paper waste. It also helps to organize each picker’s routes in the most effective way and provides the next picking job to the picker to reduce downtime. If the Advanced Picking feature is disabled, only the single-shipment pick lists are available. Note:
For more information, see Paperless Picking: General Information. |
Advanced Picking |
A feature that provides the ability to use the wave and batch picking workflows, which can streamline warehouse operations. Wave picking consolidates pick lists for groups of orders, gives pickers the ability to collect items in one warehouse pass, and optimizes efficiency for large order volumes. Batch picking organizes items from multiple orders into a batch, which can be picked by item line. After the batch is picked, the packer is packing goods from the sort location for each order. Both workflows organize the picking processes in the warehouse, provide the ability to aggregate multiple picking tasks for one picker, and reduce the processing time. Your company will benefit from this feature if you have a large volume of shipments per day and a lot of pickers whose routes in the warehouse need to be organized. Note:

Service Management |
A feature that you enable to use the service management functionality, which provides comprehensive control of the service-related processes that your company performs. You can create service orders, which serve as the initial agreement for the job and contain various details about the services to be performed. You can schedule appointments, capturing essential information such as the services rendered, the scheduled and actual dates and times, and the staff responsible for each service. You can also define specific staff members—including their work schedules, skills, and licenses—and assign them appropriately to perform services by specifying them in service orders or appointments. You can also utilize a calendar board with a user-friendly design, so you can easily visualize your staff's workloads, facilitating the creation, scheduling, and assignment of appointments seamlessly. This feature is intended for companies that offer various types of services to their customers. These services may be considered as short-term projects that require detailed scheduling and quick billing turnaround. The functionality is particularly beneficial to specialty contractors, general service companies (such as janitorial, security, or product installation), and professional service companies (such as consulting, IT services, or engineering services). Typically, the Service Management feature is enabled as a
part of the second phase of the MYOB Acumatica implementation process. However, you can enable this feature
at any point when you decide to use the service management
functionality.
Note: If you select the Service
Management check box, the
Equipment Management and
Route Management check boxes

For equipment requiring frequent maintenance, you can establish service contracts, incorporating schedules of service visits and customized billing settings for customers. With the integration between equipment management and service management, you can process service orders and appointments associated with equipment maintenance contracts. Moreover, through the equipment management feature, you can track equipment serial numbers post-sale, along with warranties, upgrades, and all relevant equipment details. Furthermore, you can maintain a comprehensive service history for each equipment unit. This feature is designed for companies engaged in the sale, installation, and maintenance of equipment. This includes companies providing services for equipment sold to customers (or service locations) and servicing their own equipment. Examples of businesses that may benefit from this feature include HVAC unit distributors, security system providers, fire safety equipment suppliers (sprinklers and fire extinguishers), golf cart distributors, coffee maker suppliers, and medical device providers. The equipment management functionality is suitable for any goods or equipment that need to be installed or maintained (or both). Typically, the Equipment Management feature is enabled
simultaneously with the Service Management feature.
However, you have the flexibility to enable the Equipment
Management feature at any time after you have enabled
the Service Management feature.
Note: The
Equipment Management check box
can be selected only if the Service
Management check box has been
selected. If you need to disable the Equipment Management feature, we recommend verifying that all service contracts with completed work have been billed to avoid potential missing transactions in other functional areas (for example, general ledger).

Route Management |
A feature that you enable to use the route management functionality. This functionality, in conjunction with service management capabilities, provides you with the ability to efficiently plan and oversee your company's routes, route executions, and related appointments. Whether your routes involve service provision or the movement of inventory items (delivery or pickup), you can create and manage route executions seamlessly. By using the Bing Maps integration, you gain the ability to visualize routes on a map and access detailed statistics for each completed route, including distance and time taken. To simplify the handling of repeat customer appointments requiring route planning, you can create route service contracts. In a contract, you specify services to be performed, create a schedule or schedules for performing services, and specify billing rules for service billing. Based on the contract, the system generates the route appointments to be executed. You can also use the route management functionality to enter and store information about every vehicle your company uses for routes. When you integrate this functionality with the equipment management functionality, the tracking of each vehicle becomes possible. The Route Management feature is designed for companies offering recurring services that are typically handled by specific staff members. Businesses benefiting from this functionality include product delivery and pick-up services, as well as those providing recurring services (such as janitorial, cleaning, pool maintenance, and pest control). Typically, the Route Management feature is enabled
simultaneously with the Service Management feature.
However, you can enable this feature at any time after the
Service Management feature has been enabled.
Note: The
Route Management check box can be
selected only if the Service
Management check box has been
selected. The Route Management feature can be safely disabled at any time. If you choose to disable this feature, we recommend that you first migrate any open contractual agreements to a different system (or to the equipment management service contracts if the Equipment Management feature is enabled) to ensure that no contractual agreements are lost. For an overview of this functionality, see Overview of Route Management Processes. |

Manufacturing Group of Features
Feature | Overview |
---|---|
Manufacturing |
A group of features that adds functionality related to item production. It gives companies control over their production while supporting various manufacturing methodologies, such as make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, project-centric, job shop, batch, and repetitive manufacturing. You can enable this group of features if it is included in your license. If the Distribution Requirements Planning feature is enabled, you must disable it before enabling Manufacturing. You can disable this group of features at any time. Manufacturing data will not be deleted from the database but will no longer be visible in the UI. All manufacturing-related UI elements will become hidden; none of the manufacturing-related functionality will be available. If you have decided to disable the feature after it has been enabled and its functionality has been used, it is a best practice to have a formal de-implementation plan: Before disabling the feature, you should ensure that all business documents are closed, manufacturing transactions are released, and financial transactions are posted and balanced. |
Material Requirements Planning | A feature that adds functionality related to material requirements planning. Material
requirements planning (MRP) is crucial for businesses aiming to
streamline their production processes, minimize inventory costs, and
meet customer demands effectively. It offers such benefits as
optimal inventory management, accurate resource utilization, and
real-time exception management. By synchronizing material
requirements with production schedules, MRP ensures that materials
are available just in time for manufacturing, preventing stockouts
and excess inventory. Additionally, it helps companies to fulfill
actual customer demands by creating plans that are tied to
forecasts, which improves customer service and operational
efficiency. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. Manufacturers that have used a time-phased inventory planning tool in the past usually include MRP as part of the primary implementation phase. Manufacturers who are new to the concept of planning to demand may choose to implement MRP in a second phase. The Material Requirements Planning feature can be disabled at any time. Because MRP does not generate any financial transactions, there are no significant consequences to disabling the feature; no data will be lost. However, for instances where the Advanced Planning and Scheduling feature is enabled, the MRP planning orders will affect the scheduled orders. You should take steps to eliminate the planning orders before disabling this feature. For details, see Inventory Planning with MRP: General Information. |
Product Configurator |
A feature that adds the functionality of product configuration. The product configurator streamlines the process of customizing products, ensuring accurate quotes, efficient order management, and optimized manufacturing. It empowers businesses to create unique configurations (reducing the number of bills of material to manage for each configuration), maintain a revision history, and calculate precise pricing based on the selected product features and options. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. Generally, manufacturers that produce configurable products need to enable the Product Configurator feature early in the implementation process, when they are defining their bills of material. However, companies that are looking to introduce new production lines or variations of existing product lines may enable Product Configurator after using MYOB Acumatica for years. Before disabling the Product Configurator feature, you should ensure that there are no incomplete sales quotes or sales orders that include a configurable item. Additionally, planned production orders that reference a configured bill of material should be evaluated to determine if they should be deleted before turning off the feature. For more information, see Product Configurator: General Information. |
Estimating |
A feature that adds the estimation functionality. Manufacturing estimating empowers make-to-order manufacturers (job shops) to create accurate and detailed estimates for manufacturing projects. It gives users flexibility in preparing estimates for existing or custom items, whether they need simple summary estimates or detailed ones with a BOM structure. For enhanced efficiency, users can quickly generate new estimates by copying or modifying existing ones. Revision control ensures that multiple revisions can be tracked, including expected labor, material, and overhead costs. Additionally, seamless integration with sales enables estimates to be linked to sales quotes or opportunities. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. Generally, if manufacturers have used an ERP system to provide estimates to their customers in the past, they enable this feature before they go live. However, companies using legacy or antiquated systems to manage estimates may choose to enable this feature as a second phase of their ERP implementation. This feature can be disabled at any time; no data will be lost. However, we recommend that you first ensure that all estimates sent to the customer have expired, have been completed, or have been canceled. In any sales quote or opportunity to which the estimate is linked, users will lose visibility to the estimate details. Similarly, any production orders that have estimates as the source will not have visibility of the estimate details. For details, see Estimating: General Information. |
Advanced Planning and Scheduling |
A feature that adds the functionality of advanced planning and scheduling. With advanced planning and scheduling (APS), manufacturers can manage and monitor their shop floor schedule and work center capacity by using the finite scheduling method. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. This feature is useful for companies looking to schedule production orders' start and end dates based on work center capacity and delivery date commitments. This feature can be disabled at any time; no data will be lost. Because scheduling does not generate any financial transactions within the APS functionality, there are no significant consequences to disabling the feature. For more information, see Advanced Planning and Scheduling: General Information. |
Engineering Change Control |
A feature that adds the functionality of engineering change control. Engineering change control (ECC) helps manufacturers manage changes to bills of material (BOMs) and routings, ensuring compliance with current customer, vendor, and production requirements. ECC streamlines BOM and routing revisions, automates change requests, and provides an approval workflow. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. The feature is useful for manufacturers looking to implement tighter controls on changes to form or function for their BOMs. The feature can be disabled at any time; no data will be lost. Because ECC does not generate any financial transactions, there are no significant consequences to disabling the feature. However, we recommend that you terminate all approval workflows and complete or cancel all engineering change requests and engineering change orders. For details, see Engineering Change Control: General Information. |
Manufacturing Data Collection |
A feature that gives users the ability to perform production operations by using barcode scanners or mobile devices. Manufacturing data collection (MDC) streamlines shop floor operations by automating data capture through the use of barcodes, scanners, and mobile devices. It provides real-time updates of inventory and eliminates data entry errors. Key features include material movement tracking, clock-in and clock-out capabilities for labor transactions, and supervisor review. You can enable this feature if the Manufacturing group of features is enabled. The feature can be disabled at any time; no data will be lost. All actions within MDC can be performed on ERP forms not specific to manufacturing. There are no consequences to disabling this feature. For more information, see Manufacturing Data Collection. |

GL Anomaly Detection |
A feature that provides the recognition of potential errors in posted GL transactions by using an AI model. With the feature enabled, the system uses a machine learning algorithm to calculate predictions of errors in GL transactions. The algorithm uses a machine learning model—a file trained to recognize certain patterns. The model is operated by a cloud service and is based on reclassified GL transactions in closed periods. For more details, see GL Anomaly Detection: General Information. Important: This feature is
currently in managed availability, and some scenarios may not be
supported yet. We recommend testing the feature before you
enable it on a production instance.
You can enable this feature and start using the related functionality at any time. Keep in mind that you should first train the AI model for prediction based on reclassified GL transactions in closed periods. You can disable this feature at any time. |
Intelligent Text Completion |
A feature that provides intelligent suggestions to continue the text that users start to type in a rich text editor of a data entry form. With the feature enabled for the first time, the system uses the most commonly used polite phrases, which are built into the out-of-the-box system. The system improves the quality of the suggested text over time by generating a separate machine learning model for each user. The model is based on the text that this particular user has entered into the system by using a rich text editor. This model learns to suggest the phrases that are most suitable for the context. |
Mapping of Multiple Accounts for Bank Feeds |
A feature that provides the ability for users to map multiple bank accounts to one cash account in MYOB Acumatica when they are receiving transactions via a bank feed. This check box is available if the Bank Feed Integration check box is selected. This feature can be enabled at any time during production. Note: When the feature is enabled, the number of bank feed accounts
for the license is calculated as usual. For example, if two bank
accounts are mapped to the same cash account in MYOB Acumatica, the license will include two bank feed accounts.
The feature cannot be disabled for the tenant if the tenant has at least one bank feed with the Map Multiple Bank Accounts to One Cash Account check box selected on the Bank Feeds (CA205500) form. If a system administrator attempts to disable the Bank Feed Integration feature while this feature is enabled, the system performs the following actions:
