I'm trying to figure out how to setup Tiny-erp for basic accounting and inventory management. I have a small web-based business. We buy parts A-E and assemble them into products 1 and 2. I want to keep track of how many parts (A-E) and products we have and their value. I also want to do our bookkeeping with Tiny-erp and enter purchases / sales once and have bookkeeping and inventory reflect the changes.
When I try to set this up myself using the manufacturing template, everything seems way to complicated. To add part A to our inventory, I have to create a PO, validate the PO, confirm receipt of the PO, and then pay the PO. In reality I order the parts and instantly pay with credit card and receive the parts AFTER payment. Similarly with customers -- to reduce my inventory of product 1 by one, I have to issue an invoice, validate the invoice, receive payment for the invoice. In reality the payment is instantaneous with the order. I'd like to be able to input a purchase from company A for X items A's and Y item B's and put the cost and total payment and have inventory and my bank account reflect the change. Any suggestions for how to structure this? Any good references / documentation for implementing this? I've been reading through the documentation, but not knowing much accounting / finance, I haven't had much success.
