Abstract

Most publications stocked by STSC, Inc. are produced at headquarters. A small number of other publications, however, are ordered from outside vendors and then stocked at headquarters for distribution. Past procedures for inventory control and distribution provided inconsistent data and no means for allocating costs to publications and charging them back to requests. This paper describes the design of STSC's inventory control and distribution system using the APL*PLUS® Data Management System. Although this system was implemented to solve a specific problem, its design provides a general-purpose tool for tracking and allocating costs for stocked items to consuming cost centers.
