Common questions
Distribution ERP FAQs
Review common planning questions before mapping modules to your operation.
Ask a question →Is LaraOffice suitable for wholesale distributors?
LaraOffice can be evaluated for distribution workflows involving purchasing, stock, sales, fulfilment and finance. Confirm the required features, transaction volumes and controls during solution planning.
Can it manage more than one warehouse or branch?
Multi-warehouse and branch workflows depend on the configured modules and data-access model. Validate transfers, stock ownership, reporting scope and permissions for your setup.
Can sales orders connect with inventory and delivery?
The target workflow should connect order status with stock reservation, picking, dispatch and delivery updates. The precise automation and available integrations must be confirmed for your implementation.
Can we use different prices or discounts for customers?
Customer-specific price lists, discounts, credit limits and approval rules should be reviewed as implementation requirements. Do not assume every pricing rule is available by default.
