Create stock keeping units

Completed

You can use stockkeeping units to record information about items for a specific location or a variant code.

Stockkeeping units are a supplement to item cards. They don't replace them, although they are related to them. Stockkeeping units allow you to differentiate information about an item for a specific location, such as a warehouse or distribution center, or a specific variant, such as different shelf numbers and different replenishment information, for the same item.

To set up a stockkeeping unit, complete the following steps.

  1. Select the Search for Page icon, enter Stockkeeping Units, and then select the related link.

  2. Select the New action.

  3. Fill in the fields on the card. The following fields are required: Item No., Location Code, and/or Variant Code. Hover over a field to read a short description for a field.

When you have set up the first stockkeeping unit for an item, the Stockkeeping Unit Exists check box on the Item card is selected.

To create several stockkeeping units for an item, use the Create Stockkeeping Unit batch job.
