No, as SmartTrade doesn't have the facility to control stock quantities and values in inventory locations (inventory management). Some users achieve a partial form of inventory management by passing accounting codes from SmartTrade to their accounting package (talk to us if you want to know how to do this).

When some people talk about stock or inventory, they are often referring to the ability to search a product database (which SmartTrade provides) rather than inventory management.

For most small businesses, trying to manage live inventory is too hard. The sensible alternative is the just in time approach of buying materials as required for jobs. The best way to manage inventory is have as little as possible.

Applications with decent inventory capability tend to be expensive. Some of the cheaper accounting packages do provide inventory management, but with limitations such as handling a single location only and reducing stock quantities based on invoicing rather than issues to jobs.
