Create an Inventory Transaction

Inventory transactions for a sales rep are always part of a process. For example, you can reduce the inventory by creating an order or increase the inventory by creating a return order. You can also add products or quantities after a delivery from a replenishment order. All inventory movements are recorded as inventory transactions. An inventory transaction is created automatically after an order is released. You can also create inventory transactions manually to record the initial product quantity values of a user inventory. An inventory record can include multiple inventory transactions.
