Creating and managing stock articles

Creating stock articles is achieved via Image z_Stock_articles / Image z_Add_stock_article ; as illustrated in the picture below, this leads to a page where the following information is filled in :

  • a name of this new stock article (here, for instance, Cheddar Crackers Box) ;
  • a code, which is a short handle that can be used in certain contexts, such as article search and article selection for a shop sale ;
  • the stock category it belongs to ('Crackers') ;
  • the status for this stock article , either 'Available' or 'Hidden' ;
  • a minimum count for warnings : if the current quantity of stock items for this article is inferior to this number, it will be displayed in red on the Stock Summary Page) ;
  • associated default or specific 'stock article' and 'pending stock article' external accounts ; if a stock category was chosen above, these menus are automatically set to the accounts as previously chosen for the stock category, but they can be modified ;
  • one or more supplier(s) and the purchase price(s), if supported.
