Adding Inventory Items
Adding item records to Inventory Control involves transferring your existing item information to Sage ERP Accpac and selecting options that help you process inventory data effectively.
When you add an item, you record the following information in the Items form:
-
The item number you use to identify the item.
-
A description of the item.
-
The item number structure (the code you use to identify the item number format).
-
The category to which the item belongs.
-
The account set the item uses. (You assign an account set to define the costing method and general ledger balance-sheet accounts for the item.)
-
The default price list from which you want the Shipments form to display the item’s price. (You can override this price list when you enter shipments.)
-
The picking sequence / bin number so items can easily be found in the warehouse.
-
Whether the item is active, sellable, allowed in a Web store, a stock item, has serial/lot numbers, and/or is a kitting item.
-
(Optional) A commodity number, if your company reports a value-added tax (VAT).
-
The unit weight and the weight unit of measure.
-
An alternative item that can be used if this item is out of stock.
-
Comments.
-
The units of measure used for stocking, shipping, and receiving the item.
-
Tax authorities used when selling the item through Order Entry.
-
Entries for optional fields that have been added to the item records.
