Inventory that stays accurate across purchasing warehouses and billing
Inventory you can trust: transactions availability states and valuation traceability across teams.
Inventory that stays accurate across purchasing, warehouse, and billing
Inventory becomes unreliable when receipts, adjustments, and shipments are tracked in different systems and reconciled late. Sanka is designed to treat inventory as a controlled ledger of transactions so on-hand, availability, and valuation are explainable, not guessed.
Every change to inventory is an explicit transaction: receipts, shipments, transfers, and adjustments with owners and timestamps.
Separate on-hand from allocated and available inventory so sales, ops, and finance see the same reality.
Make valuation inputs consistent and traceable so month-end close is faster and less contentious.
Make inventory movement a governed workflow
- Receive inventory from purchase orders with receipt history and discrepancies
- Ship inventory from orders with allocations and fulfillment status
- Support transfers across warehouses/locations with clear custody changes
- Track adjustments (shrink, damage, cycle count) with reasons and approvals
| Inventory problem | What it looks like | What to standardize |
|---|---|---|
| Stockouts despite “in stock” | Hidden allocations and manual holds | Distinct states for on-hand vs available |
| Shrink surprises | Adjustments done ad-hoc | Required reasons + approvals for adjustments |
| Fulfillment delays | No visibility into pick/pack status | Warehouse workflow status and ownership |
| Valuation inconsistencies | Inconsistent item master and costs | Controlled item master + transaction traceability |
Build a single view across purchasing and fulfillment
Inventory is the connector between procurement and revenue. When the data layer is consistent, teams can move faster without creating reconciliation work.
- Tie receipts to POs and update on-hand automatically
- Allocate inventory to orders and expose backorder risk early
- Keep shipment status synced to customer-facing systems (CRM, portals)
Patterns most teams need
Inventory teams tend to converge on the same requirements. Make them explicit early to avoid spreadsheet drift.
Set reorder points and lead times so purchasing decisions are based on consistent inputs.
Run counts as a workflow with variance review and explicit approvals for large adjustments.
Support multiple warehouses and bin/location structures while keeping availability consistent.
Controls for inventory integrity
Inventory is a financial asset. Governance and traceability reduce both operational surprises and accounting risk.
Limit who can adjust inventory, change costs, and approve variances.
See what changed, when, and why for every transaction and adjustment.
Surface mismatches and variances early so the team fixes root causes, not symptoms.
