Serial number tracking for sales orders
Hi, currently trialling Zoho One, tracking of serial numbers is very important to our business. One thing I find slightly odd is that we cannot enter/scan serial numbers for a sales order until the Invoice stage. It makes sense to me that when we create a "package", this is when the order is being picked&packed and we want to scan & enter the serial numbers at this point. As it is, we have to ship the package, mark it as delivered and then raise an invoice in order to enter serial numbers. Is
Tracking of shipments sent via Carrier
Hi there, I have a question concerning the package tracking feature of Zoho Inventory. We are sending out packages with Carrier DPD directly from Zoho. This is not a very "fast" solution for our fulfilment centre, but anyhow .. I want to know, why the tracking feature only works for packages created manually. Furthermore, I see an actual status of packages created via carrier - but I don't know, if I can rely on that one: We really would love to see a general overview of all packages currently in

Clone an Item WITHOUT positive stock
I have noticed, after making many a stock check, that when you CLONE an ITEM in Books or Inventory that has a stock quantity, The new ITEM has the SAME stock quantity!! Really can't fathom the logic.

Recommended Reorder Point
Hey Team, Hoping you could someday implement a recommended reorder point based on our sales data. Since you have all our Sales Order data, it would be nice if the system can automate or recommend a reorder point for all our active items. It can be done via Reports. Just a thought but hope you think about it. Other inventory systems, like Inflow Inventory, has a report for their system's reorder points.

Sales forecasting
Hi, I am looking at using Zoho Inventory with our WooCommerce stores. I was wondering if it has sales forecasting? I have signed up for a trail Zoho Inventory account, and can not find sales forecasting in admin panel. I saw it is part of Zoho CRM. I am also confused if I need Zoho CRM or Zoho inventory? I see the price for the "Zoho CRM Professional" is cheaper than "Zoho Inventory Standard"? And, Zoho CRM Professional apparently includes inventory? Does "Zoho Inventory" have more features?

MPN doesn't support characters?
We've been using Zoho Inventory to buy parts, track them, and then use them in projects. For the most part everything is going fine, but the MPN field in Zoho Inventory is the one that we rely on to find parts and for some reason Zoho thinks that MPNs are only ever numbers and letters. Thus, if there's a part number like this: STAUBLI 63.9318-22 TOSHIBA TLP291-4(TP,E) SCSMPP-6-0.375-100 Zoho Inventory won't let me save that was the MPN, so we have to replace the periods, parenthesis, or commas with

Custom Function: How to update a custom field in purchase orders with warehouse information
Hi, I am new to custom functions but have managed to write into custom fields based on certain criteria when purchase orders are edited/changed. My problem is how to access (get) the warehouse name after I have retrieved the warehouse_ID from the purchase order. It looks like I have a data type problem or just don't have enough experience. Here is my code (with missing statements). POID = purchaseorder.get("purchaseorder_id"); POdate = purchaseorder.get("date").toDate(); ORGID = organization.get("organization_id");
