Manufacturing

Products - Add a Product

Creating a product will link the inventory definition of the intended final product with the required bill of materials to make up that product.

You can set up the system to be able to automatically number serialised production items.

You can use a Standard Price, or have the system calculate the price based on goods, services, time and/or expenses used during production.

Topics:

Ribbon Access:   Manufacturing   >   Products

  • The Products listing screen will be displayed.

Add a Product

  • Click on Add.

  • The Add new Product screen will be displayed.

Add Product Details

  • Description:  Click in this text box and type in a description of the product.
  • Part Code:  Click on the search button and select the inventory definition for this product code from the Select a part pop up screen.
  • Part Description:  This will populate according to the part code selected in the previous step.
  • Model No.:  This will populate according to the part code selection.

  • Use Std Price:  Click on this check box if you wish to use a fixed standard price, then type in the price in the 'Std Price' field. This means that instead of calculating the costs of all items used to manufacture your product, you will be setting a fixed cost to the manufactured product (regardless of the actual unit costs of the consumed items).
  • Std Price:  If you selected the check box above, then type in the price in this text box.
  • Auto Serial No.:  Click on this check box if you wish to automate the serial number on an A or B-class item.
    • Note: When this text box is selected, the Next Serial No. text boxes will be 'activated' and you will be able to type a serial number in. If, however, this check box is left un-ticked, then only the Next Batch No. text boxes will be 'active'.
  • Next Serial No.:  Type in the prefix for your serial number in the first text box in this row. Type in or use the arrow indicators in the second text box in this row to select the next serial number the system should use. Auto numbering will follow on from there.
  • Batch Serial No.:  Type in the prefix for you C-class batch in the first text box in this row. Type in or use the arrow indicators in the second text box in the row to select the next serial number the system should use. Auto numbering will follow on from there.

  • In this image, a Std Price has been selected (R490) and a Next Batch No. has been set up (as this is a C-class item).
  • The system will work out the subsequent batch number as being A4ADB01-1001 201.
