This field plays a fundamental part in many of the controls for goods in and goods out for products, in order to reduce setup time, and to ease configuration each product group has a number of options set which are then used within Create Product, Goods Inwards, Stock Picking.
This form is used to create, edit, or view Product Group.
Product groups are used in a variety of ways within the system
to determine standard pack sizes
to show which need to use the high-value procedures
to simplify the entry of the gross weight from the net
to specify delivery discounts/surcharges for the physical to invoice case charging method
to omit a product from a delivery note, but leave it on a picking note.
The options shown above are explained in the table below
Option | Notes |
|---|---|
High Value | Determines whether the product will use the high-value process when despatching the goods. |
UOM | Unit of Measure for this product group |
Gross Multiplier | Will take the net weight and provide an estimate for the gross weight figure. e.g. Standard Wine is 1.8x , Wood and Champagne is around 2.3x, Soft Drinks around 1.1x |
SPC / CPL / CPP / SS | When adding a new product with this group set it will help the user by setting some of the fields. Singles per case, Cases per Layer, Cases per Pallet, and Single Size. The READ only option stops the user from being able to change the field when setting up a product. e.g. Bulk Stocks or Single items such as mixed cases or where wine/ spirits are not involved. |
Dimensions Mandatory | Ability to capture dimensions on certain products (groups) mandatory when the goods are received. |
BBD Mandatory | The Best Before Date Mandatory when goods are received for this group. |
Transport Adjustment | All items in this product group will use this to calculate the invoice cases amount. e.g. a 50% discount (-) would shows 6 physical cases being charged as 3 invoice cases |
Omit from Delivery Note | This product is purely for picking, so will not appear on a delivery note e.g. Packaging material, marketing box add-ins. |
Picking - Prioritise layers & Pick note sequence | Ability to define the picking sequence on picking notes and flex with the new Product Group fields ‘Pick note sequence’ and ‘Prioritise layers’. For customers wishing to continue ordering picks the same way they always have, leave the 'Pick note sequence' empty and ‘Prioritise layers’ un-ticked. |
