STR Request Feature
Nimbus RMS allows stores to manage their stock with two types of stock requests:
Dispatch Excess Stock: Stores can create a request to dispatch stock to another location if they have excess inventory.
Request Additional Stock: Stores can request more stock if they are running low on certain items.
How to Access the STR Request Screen:
From the sidebar menu, go to Inventory Management > STR Request.
Note: Only users with the appropriate rights can access this screen.
STR Request Screen Overview
The Records tab displays all stock requests made by the store associated with the logged-in user.
Note: By default, the store selection drop-down shows a list of all stores, but only the records of the logged-in user’s store will be visible. Selecting another store will not display its records.
Search and Filters:
You can filter requests by date range and request type.
Note: Admin users can also filter by store to view stock requests from specific stores.
Reset Button
Click the Reset button to return to the default view, displaying all stock requests.
Creating a New Request
On the Records screen, click the New button to start a new stock request.
If you are a store user, your store will be selected by default, and the field will be disabled.
Note: Admin users can create requests for any store by selecting the desired store from the list.
Next, choose the type of request by selecting either the Dispatch or Receive radio button, based on your needs.
Note: If the store wants to send stock back to the Head Office (HO), Warehouse, or another store, select the Dispatch option.
If the store wants to request additional stock, select the Receive option.
Click Move Next to proceed to Step 2, where additional fields will become enabled for further actions.
Select the items you wish to receive or dispatch, or upload a file containing the list of items.
The request will be saved, and the system will display the request details with the status marked as ‘Awaited.’
Request Review Mode
To review or delete a request, select it from the Records tab grid, then either click the Load button at the top right corner or double-click the request to open it in Review Mode.
In Review Mode, you can only view the request details—you cannot edit the quantities. If you need to make changes, you must delete the request and create a new one.
Note: If the request has already been processed or declined by the Head Office (HO), it cannot be deleted
Processing STR Requests by HO/Admin
When an Admin user logs in and accesses the STR Request screen, all requests from all stores will be visible in the Records tab of the STR Request screen
Each request will have Process and Decline buttons.
Clicking Decline will reject the request, and this status will be reflected on the requesting store’s screen.
Clicking Process will open the processing screen.
On the processing screen, the Admin user will select the Source and Destination stores, then click Move Next to complete the stock transfer process.
