Overview
Using templates can save time and also be an effective stock control tool. Templates can be used to give users a predefined list of items to order from specific suppliers, to transfer between sites, to transfer to or from accounts, to requisition from a main store site, or to input into stock counts. Using templates will allow stock controllers to manage what items are used and also save users' time by providing a predefined list of items instead of having to search through potentially thousands of items to find a few.
Creating Site-Level Templates
Site level templates can be assigned to sites from head office and customised by the site they are assigned to. To create a site level template, follow the steps below.

A list of the templates that are assigned to the site will be listed. The Type column will dictate where the template can be used, e.g. Order, Account/Wastage transfer, Stock Count.
