What are Products

Also known as SKU’s these are the top level information which is used when we receipt each batch of stock into the warehouse. The product contains the default information which speeds up the receipt process for items being receipted.

What is the structure

• Every customer has many PRODUCT records

• Each product has many STOCK records (each represents a receipt into the warehouse)

• Each stock record is located in one or many LOCATIONS within the warehouse

A customer is based in a warehouse which is located on a site.

That warehouse has many locations and those are filled with stock which are of a specific product belonging to a customer

Product Charging

We generally derive charges for products from a logical entry after the import takes place, so we calculate the charges based on the charges for the customer and the logic to apply those to the products.
