Assets Module
The Assets Module is where you manage inventory: warehouses, items, stock movements, purchasing, deliveries, equipment, and the related setup data (suppliers, item categories). Everything is grouped under the Assets area in the sidebar.
Overview
When you open Assets, you land on the Asset Dashboard. From there you can move into any of the module's sections. Access to the module is controlled by your role β if you do not have asset permissions, the Assets area will not appear.
Module Sections
Dashboard
- Asset Dashboard β A customizable dashboard with draggable widgets. Available widgets include Warehouse Capacity, Delivery Pipeline, Low Stock Alert, Item Inventory, Top Categories, and Recent Transactions. Use the dashboard's widget controls to add, remove, or rearrange widgets.
Warehouse
- Warehouse β Two tabs: Warehouses (all warehouses shown as cards, with filter chips at the top to narrow the list by type β All, Company Warehouse, Project Warehouse, In Transit Warehouse, and Temporary Warehouse; each card shows capacity and stock summaries) and Workflows (approval-gated stock transfer, physical count, and goods receiving runs β see Warehouse Workflows).
- All Inventory β A consolidated view of every inventory item across all warehouses, with the number of locations each item is stored in.
- Beginning Balance β Set opening stock balances for items.
Opening a warehouse card shows its detail page with tabs: Information, Areas, Inventory, Transactions, and Documents. From a company warehouse's detail page you can also click New Stock Request to start a stock workflow pre-filled with that warehouse, edit the warehouse, or set it as the main warehouse.
Items
- Items (Master Settings) β The item catalog, shown with tabs: All Items, Variations, Groups, Services, and Deleted. From here you create new items, item groups, and service items, edit and view items, and restore deleted items. Service items are non-inventoried sellable items β they do not affect stock when sold.
BOM (Bill of Materials)
- BOM β Manage bills of materials. Each BOM has a code, name, output item, status, components, total cost, and version.
Packing Standards
- Packing Standards β Define and manage packing standards used when preparing goods.
Order Fulfillment
- Order Fulfillment β A dashboard for tracking fulfillment work, built on configurable process templates.
Sales Order

- Templates β Procurement process templates.
- A Procurement Pipeline strip shows counts at each stage: Supplier Outsourcing, Materials Approval, Canvassing, Supplier Selection, and Purchase Order.
- My Purchase Requests (moved) β filing and tracking your own requests no longer has a dedicated Assets page; it now lives in the Dashboard's Request Panel widget (switch its toggle to Requests). See My Purchase Requests for where it moved.
Deliveries
- Deliveries β A tabbed list of deliveries by status: All, Pending, Truck Load, Done, Canceled, and Documents. Pending and Truck Load tabs show live counts.
Item Categories
- Item Categories β Organize items into categories. Each category has a name, code, and description.
Suppliers
- Suppliers β Maintain supplier records (name, contact details, and payment settings).
Equipment

Note: Point-of-sale setup (cashiers, customer membership, customer rank, rewards, payment methods, devices) and the sales report now live in the POS module, not Assets. Old Assets links for these redirect to POS.
