           Setting/Configuration

          Description & Information
          Base Size
          • This is the product's base volume, weight, or size
            • If a product is only sold in whole units, this is optional
            • If a product is sold by portions less than a whole unit, this must be set correctly
          • The drop-down will allow you to set the corresponding unit, i.e. "12 items" or "1,000 Mills" 
          Cost Tax
          • This determines the product's default Cost Tax Type
            • If there is no Cost Tax for the product, select the Tax-Free option from the drop down

          • This setting affects the way the cost of the product is calculated in Purchasing and Receiving

          • This does not affect the tax calculated when selling products at the POS workstation

          This can be overridden at Stock Receipt time.
          Re-Ordering (Unit and Case)
          • Defines a description for a single Unit and the Case, as well as the Case Quantity

          Wine or Spirit example:

          Base and Default Size:
          Suppliers

          • This button lists all of the Suppliers that supply this product
          • Here, suppliers for this product can be added and deleted
          • Their supplier code can be added via Edit Mode as can the preferred supplier be nominated
          Used In
          • This button will list the Products that use this Product as an ingredient
          • If the Product is not used as an ingredient of another Product, the button will not appear
          Other Stock Settings
          • Flow Metered flag
            • When interfaced with a metering system, turning on this flag will enable the sales information for this product to be sent to a metering system
          • No Re-Order flag
            • When this flag is checked, the product is unable to be added to a PO or a receipt and it will not appear in any re-order report
            • It effectively is for products that are being phased out
          • Stock Mode drop-down
            • Stocked
              • Stocked Products are those that can be Purchased, Transferred, Adjusted, etc.
            • Non-Stocked
              • A non-stocked product cannot be Purchased, Transferred, or Adjusted; it has no stock
              • This flag must be turned on for products that have ingredients, i.e. cocktails
            • Manufactured
              • A Manufactured Product is one that has to be manufactured before it can be sold
              • When Manufactured, the Stock will be deducted from the ingredient Products, and the stock will be created for this Product
              • This now makes the Product Stockable and will have to be counted in Stocktakes
              • A manufactured product is different from a cocktail product
              • The stock for the ingredients of a cocktail is deducted when it is sold, but in a manufactured product the ingredients are deducted when it is manufactured

           

           

             

              • Non-Stocked Purchase Only
                • These Products can be added to a Purchase Order and “received”, but are primarily intangible
                • They cannot be sold, transferred, or adjusted in any way, or be counted for stocktakes as they do not have any On Hand values
                • Common examples are utilities or subscription services
              • Consumables

                    • Just like Non-Stocked Purchase Only, these can be Purchased and Received but they cannot be sold

                      • However, similar to Stocked Products, Consumables can be Transferred, counted and so on
                      • And can have their Quantity on Hand and Cost on Hand recorded and reported on
              • Auto-Manufactured

                • This should be used for Products where there may be insufficient of No QOH to manufacture a base manufactured Product and this comes in handy for Nested Manufactured Products wherein one Manufactured Product is an ingredient of another Manufactured Product
