Stock Code - Types

Stock is broken up into 2 area's.

Master data

Contains the GL codes, Supplier details, Buying / selling Variables etc.

Code	Meaning	Description
''	Blank	Normal stock item.
B	Buy in	Where system accumulates cost in the average field and each sale is specifically costed and not average costed. Cost is accumulated as the item is either a generic group or manufactured/imported where the cost varies - for whatever reason - and must go out at its stocking cost. It uses that cost on the sales order.
A	Auto update	Update sell prices (1 to 4) based on markup pcts in M/U profile in Discount Tab when receiving from Del Dkts or Spl Invoice. Used mostly when the 'base' cost is a factor of the Copper / Nickel or other index and needs to be changed regularly.
K	Kit	Sold from assembled elements at sales order time
P	Price lookup	Price lookup item only, doesn't increment stock on invoicing
L	Length	Stock in lengths, not metres

Contains data that could change between branches.

Code	Meaning	Description
W	Work Order	Made from a Work Order for a sales order. The cost on the sales order is updated when the work order is stocked. From a Works Order Quote these items are exploded into their component parts into a Works Order.
M	Manufactured	Manufactured from a work order for inventory replenishment. The Works order for these items need to be manually generated. The Sales Order will use the Average cost from the Branch location. From a Works Order Quote these items are NOT exploded into their component parts in a Works Order.
P	Purchased	Purchased buy in item for linking with a sales order. The cost is linked to the Purchase Order.
O	Order	Order in directly onto a works order - not through stock receipts, hence doesn't update the values in the Stock Ledger.
??	Branch	Branch where source from if not carried in stock.

('P' 'O' & ?? will not have system generated min/max levels)
