The Alliance Inventory Control function is a perpetual inventory system that keeps a running tally of all on-hand inventory. It records each issue and receipt when it occurs and records every transaction in a transaction log. It handles multiple warehouses, multiple locations (and transfers within locations), lot control, job allocations, and serial number tracking (including shelf life) -- all with ease. It also includes physical inventory and ABC analysis features so incremental, accurate cycle counts of expensive or often-used items can be done throughout the year. This reduces or even eliminates the need for work-disrupting annual counts. After the physical counts of inventory items have been taken, the variances between the physical counts and the system's recorded on-hand balances are calculated and printed for review. They are then posted into the system to ensure the system's inventory balances match. For accounting purposes, an transaction record of these changes is produced along with a net write-up or write-down of inventory dollars.
