You can create shipment logs to record the movement of items in and out of your facility, even if the goods are not categorized as inventory items.
Note: When inventory integration is active, shipments linked to purchases and orders will affect inventory balances. Therefore, it is important to set up and follow a best practices policy for shipping and receiving. As a general rule, it is always advisable to record your shipments according to reality. By logging shipments accurately, inventory levels within aACE will be maintained and audits can be conducted more efficiently. (Read more about setting up inventory tracking.)
