INVENTORY
  Inventory items are the physical entities used in the repair or servicing of the items. They can be stocked or non-stocked. Each time and inventory item is used, the reorder point is checked (reord) and if needed the user is prompted to issue a purchase order. If they choose to do this, an entry is made into the purchord file.

Likewise, when inventory arrives the purchord file is checked and the purchase order received information updated.

Memos are available for notes about the the use of the item. For items that can expire, a useby date is available for each item.
