Use the Item Maintenance function in Synergetic to view and maintain all the information about items that your organisation stocks and sells.
Some items are not stocked. For example, service items that you supply.
Stocked items at your organisation comprise:
- An item record that you maintain key information about, including units of measure.
- A stock record that is used by one or more of your business units to manage and sell stock items. See Entering sales
Anchor H_7988 H_7988 (on page ) and Managing stock (on page ).
Business units
Business units are set up at your organisation to manage and sell stock items. For example, a bookshop and a uniform shop can operate independently.
Smaller organisations can choose to set up one business unit only.
Also, see Synergetic Financial Configuration - Business Units tab in the System maintenance manual.
How to:
- Search for an item on the system. See Searching for items (on page ).
- Create a new item. See Creating new items (on page ).
- Create a stock item record for a new business unit, if it already exists for another business unit. See Creating stock items for business units (on page ).
