If you display more details of a product you can amend or
input additional information which will aid a variety of tasks, including:
1 Stock location (using the bin/location field)
2 Couriers total order weight. If the related product for each order
has its weight entered then the total order is calculated. This can then be
displayed (and exported, if required) using the Order Total weight field (from
Customize View dialog).
3 You can produce a Suppliers report, to easily reorder products (for
your stock)
4 Work out the profit you are making on each order (and the total)
Main Details
Most of the fields will be filled in if the product has been created from an
order. You can enter any additional information, which is used in other areas
of One Stop Order Processing. You can display your prices with or without VAT
included.
Order Type SKUs
Each product can have a different SKU for each selling platform. If you don't
define any specific platform SKU the main SKU/Code is used. For example, on
Ebay the Custom field could be EB24, on Amazon your own product ID could be
B00QFG88904. For Actinic the main product code is used (not defined on this
page), of KLIO50.
When any orders are imported the relevant product is found
using the Order Type SKU and the that order updated with the relevant main SKU
and the stock levels adjusted, if required.
Stock
You can enter the actual cost price of the item (to work out profit) and the
actual shipping costs, aswell as the sourcing information for the product.
Using Stock Control you would typically have a reorder level and an out of stock
level. You should set the reorder based upon the lead time required to obtain
new supplies of the product. You may want the out of stock level to be higher
than 0 so that you always at least of the product in stock (e.g. to allow photos
to be taken of the product or for new supplier comparison).
Notes
You can add your own information for the product, ordering notes etc.
