Description of the modules on the Inventory Platform

There are many types of in and out documents, depending on the characteristic of each operation. New types of documents may also be created. The system of administration is relational; as an advantage of this is that all the situations and reports are accurate and correct, provided that the documents are correct.
The system also provides restricted access to administration and operations for the operators, according to the access privileges given by the system administrator. What is more, when an operator enters a document the system logs his/her name as well as the date and hour of the entering.
