Creating and Editing Products
Products are items you manufacture from materials.
You can also create products using other products as components by enabling this option in your settings.
Adding New Products
There three two ways to create a new product:
1. Click the “Add” button to create a product from scratch
2. Copy an existing product by opening it and clicking “Copy”
3. Import your products from a CSV file. See more here
To edit a product, open its details by clicking on its name in the products list, and then click the “Edit” button.
Product Details
SKU
SKU (stock keeping unit) is your product code or article number. You can use this to help organize and filter products.
It's also necessary for integrations to work properly.
Name
The name of your product.
Stock Level
The initial quantity of this product in your inventory.
Unit of Measure
The unit in which this product is tracked.
Minimum Stock Level
You can set a minimum stock level for each product. When the stock falls below this minimum, a red dot warning indicator
will appear next to the product's stock level in the main products list.
If you have multiple product storage locations, the minimum stock level is specified separately for each location.
Sales Price
You can specify the retail price of the product, which will be used when creating sales orders and calculating
cost-to-price ratios.
Batch Size
This field is only available after enabling the an option in system settings.
Batch size determines the product quantity for which all materials and resources in the recipe are calculated.
By default, batch size is set to 1. If batch size is not equal to 1, the system will automatically recalculate the
required quantities of materials and resources per unit of product.
Categories
You can organize products into categories for easier navigation. You can assign multiple categories to a single product.
In the main products list, click on a category name to quickly filter the list.
Product Components
Specify which materials and in what quantities are used to manufacture this product. You can specify material quantities
in any unit of measure.
You can also create products using other products as components by enabling this option in the settings. This can be
useful if you produce subassemblies for your products.
Resources
On the “Resources” tab, you can specify resources used in manufacturing this product. For example, employee wages,
electricity, etc. See the “Resources” section for more details.
Notes
In the notes field, you can add any information that might be useful to you.
Files
You can attach images and other files to your products. This is useful for storing product photos, technical
specifications, assembly instructions, or any other relevant documents.
Changing Product Components
Changes to a product's component list only affect new production runs and do not modify existing ones.
For example, if you created a product and set up several production runs, then later added a new material or resource to
the product's components, or changed the quantity of an existing component, all future production runs will use the
updated components. However, existing production runs will not be automatically updated.
If you want to update an existing production run to use the new product components, open that production run, click
“Edit,” and then, without making any changes, click “Save.” This will recalculate the production run using the updated
product components.
