Managing & Adding Items (Stock)
The quartermaster module has the ability to manage stock in as much detail as you wish. While more detail than less is generally better, depending on your needs you are free to manage things as detailed or as generic as you need.
For example, while most agencies may detailed items:
- Clothing (Category) => Pants (Sub-Category) => 5.11 Tactical (Make) => TacLite Pro Pants (Model)
Some agencies may prefer to keep things more generic using:
- Clothing (Category) => Pants (Sub-Category) => Any (Make) => Any (Model)
To manage Quartermaster module navigate to Manage => Quartermaster
You will be taken to the Quartermaster dashboard where we provides some useful statistics and list all the items in your system.
