Default Stock Location
When a new product is created a stock location is created for the default location.
Stock Type
Loose |
Items are purchased and sold by units, ie EA
|
Batch / Serial |
Items are purchased and sold by tracking a batch or serial number. To sell this stock type requires a valid batch or serial number to be entered or selected.
|
Supplier |
The supplier client code becomes part of the stock location code. This enables the cost and quantities of the same product, but purchased from different suppliers, to be tracked independently. For purchase orders and stock receipts the supplier code automatically becomes part of the stock location code. For sales the relevant stock location / supplier has to be selected. |
NOTE: All product items that are allocated to a product group with the Stock Type Supplier have to use Supplier as the stock location stock type. Stock locations for other product groups can not select Supplier as the stock type.
Options
For Keyword Build Use
The keywords used in the product search will be built from the following:
Short Name |
Built from the products Short Name
|
Long Name |
Built from the products Long Name. If the long name and the short name descriptions are the same, whether the long name or short name is selected will not matter. If the long name is likely to have a better product description,then select the Long Name.
|
Both |
Built from the products Short Name and Long Name. Duplicate keywords will not be created. This option is best used when the product group use properties and a mnemonic is used for the short name. This ensures that the mnemonic and the associated words are captured as key words. |
The keywords for a product have an identifier to indicate where the keyword originated:
S From Short Name
L From Long Name
U User Generated
Additional keywords can be created for a product using U as the identifier. If the short or long name is changed, the keywords for the identifier are deleted and rebuilt. The user generated keywords can only be deleted by the user. See Product Master to maintain Keywords.
Use default stock location for pricing?
This setting allows for one price record in a multiple stock location situation. The pricing record will generally be linked to the default stock location, but doesn't have to be. Maxim will always look for the first price record, irrespective of the default stock location setting.
