Create stock keeping units

  • 2 minutes

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

stock keeping units are a supplement to item cards. They don't replace them, although they are related to them. Stock keeping units let you define item information for a specific location, such as a warehouse or distribution center, or for a specific item variant. For example, you can maintain different shelf numbers and replenishment settings for the same item.

To set up a stock keeping unit, complete the following steps.

  1. Select the Search (Alt+Q) icon, enter stock keeping 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.

Note

The information on the stock keeping Unit Card page has priority over the information on the Item Card page.

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

To create several stock keeping units for an item, use the Create stock keeping Unit batch job.
