Folks Suite · Inventory & Trade Edition · v4.0

Every store, asset and order —
in one warm, calm workspace.

Folks Inventory ERP runs the physical side of the business on one SQL-Server engine: the Requisition → Plan → Tender → Purchase Order → Delivery → Stock procurement pipeline, live stock balances across every store, a built-in point of sale, asset registers and double-entry accounts — all wired through stored procedures, no ORM. This hub is your complete User Manual and a hands-on Training Workbook in one place.

The signature flow

One requisition. Six governed stops to received stock.

Procurement is not a single screen — it is a tracked pipeline. A store raises a need; the system carries it through planning, tendering and award, then lands the goods back on the shelf, stamping a live status at every hop.

01
Requisition

A store asks for an item and a quantity it is short on.

/storeitemreq
02
Purchase Plan

Buyer reviews the need and plans the order quantity.

/purchaseplan
03
Indent & Tender

Generate indents, float a tender to active vendors.

/createtenderreq
04
Compare Quotes

Capture vendor quotes and rank them side by side.

/comparequot
05
Award PO

Lowest compliant quote wins a purchase order.

/processpo
06
Deliver & Receive

Logistics, delivery note, and stock lands at the store.

/delivery

Each stop stamps the plan with a live status — New Request → Indent Generated → Tender Created → Delivery Processing → Delivered — so a buyer always knows exactly where any item sits, and the goods that arrive flow straight into Store Entry, updating the stock balance the moment they are received.

Exercise Workbook

20 progressive labs and a final assessment, all built around one running case study — the Al-Murjan Café & Bakery chain. Take it from store and item setup, through a real requisition that becomes a purchase order and a delivery, into POS sales, an inter-store transfer, a stock audit with variance, a period close and the journal entries behind it — the full Folks Inventory loop.

Built for teams that live on accurate stock

The platform's core principles — threaded through every page of these docs.

SQL-first core

Every read and write runs through a named stored procedure — generic CRUD SP_s plus rich DevSP_ workflow procs. No ORM, no LINQ in business logic.

Live stock balances

Entry, exit, sale, transfer, return and damage all post movements that keep StockAtStore true to the shelf, in real time.

Procurement pipeline

Requisition → Plan → Tender → Quote → PO → Delivery, each stop stamping a live status and writing a real document chain.

Built-in POS

Sessions, terminals, payment methods and a day-close, selling straight out of store stock with a receipt and an audit trail.

RBAC by design

Menus, pages and actions gated by role privileges seeded in the database. You see exactly what your role grants — nothing more.

.NET 9 Blazor UI

Server-side Blazor over SignalR — live dashboards, instant validation and the warm "clay" theme the whole suite shares.

Double-entry accounts

A real chart of accounts, balanced journal vouchers, cash book, cheques and a balance sheet — the money side of every move.

Bilingual EN / العربية

Full English and Arabic with right-to-left layout, switchable from the top bar in a single click.
