SYSPRO Inventory Management FAQ

Does SYSPRO track inventory by lot and serial number?

Yes. SYSPRO's inventory module tracks stock by lot number through receipt, issue and transfer, and tracks individual items by serial number for warranty and service traceability. Both trace types are native to the base inventory module rather than a bolt-on.

Does SYSPRO support multiple warehouses and bin locations?

Yes. SYSPRO manages exact bin locations within each warehouse for every stock movement and count, and its distribution requirements planning function plans stock transfers between branch warehouses so each location stays replenished from the wider network.

Does SYSPRO run cycle counts without shutting down the warehouse?

Yes. SYSPRO supports rolling cycle counts of selected bins or items, so counting can run continuously rather than requiring a full physical inventory shutdown.

Is SYSPRO's warehouse management a separate product or built in?

It's part of the core platform. SYSPRO's Warehouse Management System coordinates putaway, order picking and cycle counting through a task-and-mission workflow, and directs pickers using configurable batch, wave or single-order picking strategies — it isn't a bolt-on third-party WMS.

Does SYSPRO support kanban-based replenishment?

Yes. SYSPRO can trigger automatic replenishment orders using kanban signal logic instead of manual reordering, alongside standard MRP-driven and lead-time-based replenishment methods.
