Allocate Synlawn Inventory to Jobs
You can find a link to a video walkthrough here.
While Phase 1 covered the ability to manually set up & manage Synlawn inventory, this phase covers the following functionality:
Ability to allocate inventory to jobs for holds & cuts
Ability to cancel holds or confirm cuts for jobs
Inventory levels will auto-update when holds or cuts are confirmed or canceled for jobs
Users will be prevented from completing jobs with pending holds
Step 1: Create Job
Create a Job & Add the Item(s) that are needed
Be sure you’re adding Items that have Item Units (rolls) associated with them - this setup was covered in Phase 1
Items added to Jobs should be measured in Square Feet
Step 2: Add Hold
Once the Job is saved, open the Job show page & select + Hold
In this modal, we display the available inventory that matches the Item(s) on your Job.
Expand the Item(s) to find available rolls & enter the quantity (in Linear Feet) you need to allocate from each roll.
Select Confirm
Once a hold is confirmed, the held & available quantities on that roll will be updated across the system
Once a hold is created, you can open the hold to see details from the Job page or Item Unit page
Step 3: Cut or Remove Holds
This can be done from the Job page or the Item Unit page
Remove Hold:
Click the X to remove a Hold
Click Remove Hold in the confirmation modal
Cut Hold:
Click the scissor icon to complete (“cut”) the Hold
Select Complete in the confirmation modal
Additional Notes
You cannot complete visits with pending holds. Any pending holds must be removed or cut before a visit can be completed.
Available & Held quantities on a roll will be updated across the system once a hold has been removed or a cut has been completed.
Details regarding who created, removed, or completed (cut) the hold, as well as when those actions were performed, are viewable in the holds table.

Receiving Synlawn Inventory

Once the user hits Save, their Item Unit Inventory levels will automatically update.
💡If the user wants to inventory Sundry Items, they will need to manually do so.
💡Users can receive partial orders. All they need to do is remove any product they have not received yet from the initial receive page. Once they do receive the product, they can open the receive page again for that same order & those items will be available to be received. The order will remain open until all products have been received. |
