I've been testing out the RMS HQ, and I'm not sure how to track inventories for each store. I can see the items from master database, but how do I see the items of store 1 or store 2? The inventory list might be different from the master database and each store might have different items. Maybe I'm just missing something. Can anyone help me?
In HQ, The items should be created in HQ then sent 'down' to the stores, so any item that exists at a store should first exist at HQ. That does not mean that every item that exists in HQ MUST be sent to all stores, but in practice, they probably will be. Even though an item may exist at all stores, does not mean that all stores will actually stock it.
When stores are communicating with HQ using HQ Client, item movements are reported back to HQ. This includes PO/Transfer receiving, Sales & Returns, Physical Inventory Changes and Manual changes. So, HQ will have a good approximation of the store quantity AS OF THE LAST HQ CLIENT CONNECTION. The Store database is the 'data of record' for the store, but you can see what HQ thinks each store should have by using the various Snapshot Reports. Also, on the item propeties tab, you will see a "Store Quantity" Tab. This also shows the latest data HQ has for each store.

OK Here is a better question...What if you are changing a store to only sale books vs. everything else including books...How do you get the inventory properly adjusted so that it does not continue to count that inventory?
