📦 Product & Component Overview
Products & Services module helps you manage everything you make, buy, sell, or consume in production.
🏷️ Product Types
When creating a new item, you’ll select one of the following types:
- 📦 Product — Physical item (can be stocked)
- ⚙️ Component — Raw or semi-finished material used in manufacturing
- 🧾 Service — Intangible offering (e.g., design fee, delivery)
Each type can have:
- ✅ Buy and/or sell status
- 📊 Stock management (enabled for products/components)
- 💸 Cost and selling price
- 🔢 Product codes, barcodes, and categories
🔁 Usage Across Modules
Products and components are reused across many functions:
- 🏗️ In Bill of Materials (BOM) for defining product structure
- 📥 In Purchase Orders for raw material procurement
- 🛒 In Sales Orders for customer delivery
- 📦 In Stock Management for tracking inventory levels
- 💰 In Cost Calculation for production and profit analysis
📎 Stockable vs Non-stockable
- 🟢 Stockable items: have inventory tracking (quantity in/out, warehouses)
- 🔴 Non-stockable items: do not track stock (used for services, or virtual items)
Choose this carefully when defining a product — it affects how stock and cost behave in the system.
🎯 Best Practices
- Use clear product codes and names for consistency
- Group items using categories for easier reporting
- Activate lot/batch tracking if needed for traceability
- Link vendors to components for purchase price history
