# Inventory controls

Life Sciences Supply Chain Management and Life Sciences Warehouse Management modules offer several configurable checks related to material movements, both via client and via mobile device, to maintain a high degree of control over the movement of materials. These controls may be set as warnings (users can still complete the movement, but a warning message is displayed stating that the movement may be inappropriate) or errors (users cannot complete the movement).

The following controls can be enabled:

1. Control on material [use code against the intended use code of the order](/life-sciences/docs/use-code).
2. Control on material [storage conditions](/life-sciences/docs/restrictions-on-physical-movements-by-storage-conditions) against the supported storage conditions of the destination warehouse/location.
3. Control on material [storage attributes](/life-sciences/docs/restrictions-on-physical-movements-by-storage-attributes) against the supported storage attributes of the destination warehouse/location.
4. Control on the batch disposition code against the destination warehouse/location through the [controlled movement matrix](/life-sciences/docs/controlled-movement-matrix).

Life Sciences Warehouse Management module enforces these checks when performing warehouse transactions via mobile device.
