How to: Set Up Stockkeeping Units

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

Stockkeeping units are a supplement to item cards. They do not 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

  1. In the Search box, enter Stockkeeping Units, and then choose the related link.

  2. Create a new Stockkeeping Unit card. On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

  3. Fill in the fields on the card. The following fields are required: Item No., Location Code, and/or Variant Code.

For Help about any other field, select the field and press the F1 key.

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

Note

The information on the Stockkeeping Unit card has priority over the Item card. To create several stockkeeping units for an item, use the Create Stockkeeping Unit batch job.
