Managing stock in Franchise Networks is made simple by all companies using a shared stock definition.

Stock Article Definitions

Stock Articles definitions are shared across the group.  Users require Secure Features#CanMaintainArticleDetails to make changes to the stock definitions.

1. Normally only the Franchisor will have access to change information about stock articles

Min / Max Levels on stock that is always stocked

Franchisor can set Min /Max levels for their warehouse if required.  Franchisor stock is sourced from the supplier.

Each Franchisee sets a Min/Max Level on the Article for their warehouse.  Min/Max Franchisee stock is sourced from the Franchisor.

Franchisee can review Min Max stock that will be requested from the Franchisor at any time

Update the Trigger / Target Levels in the grid 

When ready - create a purchase order on the Franchisor

Creates a Purchase Order in the Franchisee AND a matching Sales Order in the Franchisor

The sales order created in the Franchisor will be considered demand by the franchisor min/max level dashboard calculations.

Stock replenished only when sold

Some stock is not carried using min/max levels - this stock will only be sourced from the franchisor when it is sold.

The Franchisor can

1. Source the stock from the supplier and then ship it to the Franchisee
2. Instruct the Supplier to send the stock directly to the Franchisee (Drop Ship)
   1. Supplier will still be paid by the Franchisor directly and Franchisee will pay Franchisor
