Distribution or Supply Chain Management involves the acquisition, inventorying, and use or shipment of parts, products or material. Closely related to and tightly integrated with the accounting functions, the distribution system is composed of purchasing, inventory control, sales order management and invoicing. In some environments, linking to shipping manifest systems or the use of EDI may be desirable.
