Setting Up Your Inventory
Releventful's inventory tracking allows you to automatically track the inventory needed for your events. In this article, we're going to walk you through how to set up your inventory.
Already set up your inventory? Learn how to automatically allocate your inventory when your packages or add-ons are added to your client's invoice.
Before You Begin
Before you begin adding your inventory into Releventful, there are a couple of ways you could enter your inventory.
Enter each and every item you have
Enter groups of items you have
To provide the best tracking of the inventory you use we recommend creating the inventory in Releventful at the lowest level that makes sense for your business.
For instance, if the services you sell requires you to allocate 5 separate items of inventory, then create those 5 items in Releventful.
If those 5 items are logically combined into one single item (e.g. a shipping container with 5 items inside), then create the single item for your inventory tracking instead.

Inventory Tagging & Inventory Suggest Technology
Releventful provides intelligent suggestions to let you know when inventory is out and what inventory you can use instead.
Using the inventory tags will enable this feature.
Correct usage of tagging
To use inventory tagging, you must tag the lowest level of inventory that is being tracked.
For instance, if you sell an item that requires 4 items of inventory to be allocated, each one of those 4 items could have a tagged equivalent if you have replacement inventory available.
Let's take DJ equipment for example. When Package A is sold the following inventory must be allocated:
One speaker (Speaker A, tag: speaker)
One box of cables (Cable Box A, tag: cables)
One laptop (Laptop A, tag: laptop)
One control board (Control board A, tag: control board)
For each item listed above, if you have backup inventory, you would enter a second set of inventory representing the backup inventory.
Speaker B ( tag: speaker )
Cable Box B (tag: cables )
Laptop B (tag: laptop)
Control board B ( tag: control board )
ℹ️ Note: you can also be more specific in your tags to describe the type or version of an item.
QR Code Scanning
If you have a QR code that you would like to scan for your inventory, click Choose File next to QR Code to add the QR code. The QR code added here will be visible in all inventory reports and invoice detail reports.
Temporarily Removing Inventory Availability
If you have an item in inventory that is broken or is being serviced, you can remove it from availability by checking the Out of Service check box.
Allocating Inventory As You Sell
After you have added all of your inventory into Releventful. You can automatically allocate your inventory based on the packages or add-ons you sell to your customers.
