Note: This field only appears if the item has been flagged as Consignment Stock in the Create New Item window.

Override G/L Code

When a sale is made, by default it is posted to a specified G/L control account. If you want to use a different G/L account for this item, select a different one here.

Tax Code

Tax code used for the item, which is used for tax reporting on sales.

Re-Order Quantity

Reference figure used to nominate the amount of stock reordered, when the stock level falls below the Re-Order Stock Level value.

The quantity that you reorder is similar to the economic order quantity, the most economical amount to purchase from the supplier. For example, if you have the funds and the storage capacity, you might order uniforms in quantities of 100 as the supplier may have a cheaper wholesale unit price.

Re-Order Stock Level

Reference figure used to nominate the stock level below which you need to reorder more stock.

Reorder information is used by the Re-Order report.
