🕘 Timeline, 💬 Comments & 📎 Files

Each product in Perfect Inventory Manager includes powerful tracking tabs that go beyond stock levels — allowing users to see full history, attach documentation, and leave internal notes.

🕘 Timeline Tab

This tab displays a chronological log of every interaction with the product:

• Purchases
• Dispenses
• Returns
• Transfers
• Audits and reconciliations

Each entry includes:

• Type of action (e.g., Dispensed, Borrowed)
• User who performed the action
• Date and time
• Quantity involved
• Link to the original bill or record

🧰 Example:

Amoxicillin drops from 30 to 5 units. You check the timeline and see 25 units were dispensed to Ward 3. Click the record to view the full transaction.

💬 Comments Tab

This allows internal users to leave text notes on the item. Common uses:

• Warnings (e.g., “This batch expires quickly”)
• Usage instructions (e.g., “Only for pediatric use”)
• Procurement alerts (e.g., “Switch to alternate supplier next time”)

Each comment shows who posted it and when.
