Introduction

Mobile App for Inventory Management Plugin is a software module that seamlessly integrates with Tagrain POS and allows you to extend the functionality of your existing Tagrain edition. It allows you to manage back-office transactions related to inventory management using the Tagrain Handheld mobile application.  

This mobile application is available to run on both - Android and iOS and allows you to look up products and create lists of products / quantities to perform inventory back office related transactions. The list you create using a Tagrain Handheld device can be actioned on Tagrain Web. 

Using the Handheld device, you can create product lists to perform any of the following tasks:

• Goods Receipt

• Goods Issue

• Purchase Order

• Stock Transfer

• Stock Count

Prerequisites

The only prerequisite to make use of the inventory management features is that the Mobile App for Inventory Management Plugin should be subscribed to and activated.

Plugin Dependency

Performing inventory back office related transactions within the Tagrain Handheld has its own dependencies. For Example, to be able to make use of the Stock Counting feature, the Stock Counting Plugin must be activated. The Table below makes it even more clear:
