+
+## How inventory works
+
+The inventory tracking system in AyaNova is documented in the [part inventory transactions](inv-part-inventory-transactions.md#how-inventory-works) manual page.
+
+### Inventory is optional
+
+AyaNova does not _require_ the use of inventory, if it is not something required for your business you can turn off inventory completely in the [global settings form](adm-global-settings.md#use-inventory)
+
+## Inventory data table
+
+The Inventory [data table](ay-start-form-data-tables.md) is an overview of the current state of inventory related data for each part / warehouse combination and access to common data table [menu options](ay-start-form-data-tables.md#common-menu-options).
+
+Inventory is listed by Part / Warehouse combination individually.
+
+### Inventory data table columns

+It indicates the point at which parts should be ordered when the on-hand inventory level for this part / warehouse combination goes below this minimum quantity value.
+
+Minimum quantity is used by the Purchase order [restock list](inv-purchase-orders.md#restock-list) feature to populate a new purchase order with the required quantity to bring the inventory level back to the minimum quantity specified.
