We have several business locations and currently use zoho inventory to track retail items (sales and purchase orders). We were hoping to use zoho inventory to track our non-inventory items as well (toilet paper, paper towels, etc). I understand that we would create a purchase order when we purchase something, but I don't understand how the inventory would get removed since the item isn't being sold. Knowing how much (or at least how many boxes) of these types of items our locations have at any given time is very helpful for our office team to place orders accordingly. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project

Hi Christopher,
I am not familiar with Zoho but in Odoo items are only tracked if you list them as a 'Storable Product'. Consumables don't get booked into stock.
Unfortunately the only way I know of to dispose of storable items (if you don't sell them), is to create a transfer to a virtual location, e.g. inventory loss. This would involve someone manually creating transfers themselves once the item is used.
Hope this helps!
