Plan Your Item and Inventory Setup
Plan Your Item and Inventory Setup
Overview
This guide will help you choose the correct item model and setup order before creating products, services, raw materials, variants, or manufactured items.
The selected model determines which nested forms, validations, stock movements, postings, and reports apply.
Who can do this
You need access to No write permission for planning. Creating records requires the needed Item and supporting-master permissions.
Before you start
Define whether each record is a service/non-stock item, stocked item, parent item, variant, raw material, bundled item, or manufactured item.
Where to find it
Back Office → Items & Advanced Inventory.
Plan Your Item and Inventory Setup
Step 1: Create companies, locations, fiscal year, and required accounting defaults
Step 2: Create units of measurement and any needed conversions
Step 3: Create categories, brands, taxes, price groups, and accounts
Step 4: Decide barcode, SKU, UPC, description, and digital-invoicing identifiers
Step 5: Decide stock tracking, default location, reorder level, batches, serials, and
Decide stock tracking, default location, reorder level, batches, serials, and overselling policy.
Step 6: Decide base/minimum selling price, discount, tax, and commission
Step 7: For variants, create the non-stock parent and dimensions before derived
For variants, create the non-stock parent and dimensions before derived items.
Step 8: For manufacturing/bundles, create components before the BOM
Step 9: Create the item, then add opening stock only after all
Create the item, then add opening stock only after all classifications/accounts are correct.
Check your work
For every planned item, document its type, unit, category, location, pricing, tax, accounting, variant/BOM relationship, and opening-stock source.
If something goes wrong
- Do not use stock adjustments to compensate for a poorly chosen item model.
- Serialization cannot be assumed reversible after item creation.
