Using SIMple

RiderExMachina edited this page Oct 15, 2024 · 2 revisions

Overview

Using SIMple should be—well—simple. Getting started should look something like this:

  1. Add one or more locations using the Location page
  2. Add one or more products using the Product page
  3. Quickly manage inventory using the Home page

That's it! Easy, right? However, there are a few things you should know.

Index/Summary

summary_quick_sort_sm.webm

The index page functions as a "quick-menu". All items in the inventory are listed as buttons, which can be clicked to bring up a "Quick Edit" menu, which allows for adding or removing specific amounts of the item. Once the item's quantity reaches a user-defined threshold, the button will turn yellow, indicating it's time to reorder the product. If the item is not restocked after reaching half the threshold will make the button turn orange, and if the product runs out completely, the button will turn red.

It is also possible to scan the item's UPC (or other identifying barcode) to automatically remove a user-specified amount from that item's inventory without needing to click any buttons.

Products

The products page is for adding or editing product information.

add_prod.webm

Each product requires the following information when being added:

Name The product's name
UPC A barcode associated with the product
Amount The amount currently on-hand
Quick Take A "quick take" amount (more information below)
Reorder At The threshold amount of on-hand inventory before reordering more (more information below)
Location Where the item "is"
The following information is recommended, but not required:
Reorder Amount The amount in a new box (more information below)
Categories One or more categories
Vendor, Reorder From The vendor of the item, along with a url
Purchase Cost The cost to buy the item
Sale Price The price the item sells at
These values can be set at any time using the item's Edit menu in the Products page.
edit_prod_sm.webm

It is possible to sort items based on location, category, or the item's UPC.

prod_quick_sort_sm.webm

Similarly to the Summary page, items that are running low will also turn yellow, orange, or red, depending on stock levels.

Locations

new_edit_loc_sm.webm

The locations page is for adding or removing locations.

Settings

add_categories_sm.webm

The settings page currently only allows you to add categories for filtering and set a default location filter for the Index and Products pages. Check the roadmap for future planned additions to the Settings page.
