Where To Find It
Common Path: Inventory > Inventory Center
Users normally select the item first, then use the available tabs or panels to review stock and related information.
Note: Inventory Center is usually best used as a control and review screen rather than a replacement for detailed item setup.
How It Works
Once an item is selected, the center helps users review identification details, stock context, and linked information without opening many separate menus.
- Select the correct item first before reviewing history or balances.
- Use the center to understand the item quickly before drilling into detail.
- Open linked screens when a full edit or transaction action is needed.
