55	3. F__ill in all required parameters, which are not renewed from the accounting program:__
56
57	//__SYSTEMATIC PARAMETERS (changeable for one item throughout the system) - information in the "head" of item (STOCK-M → “Assortment” → “SKU List”):__//
58
59	//1.__ SKU code__// – it is a unique item (SKU) code, that is always updated from an accounting program (unless a new item (SKU) is created during a special order formation). In STOCK-M, item(SKU) code is not changed.

ALT status cannot be changed until the item is not separated from the alternatives group//.//
88
89	* !!! When a unique code is changed in the accounting program for the same item, STOCK-M is updated as a new item. The "Old" and "New" items must be merged/connected, leaving the "new" code as the main and moving the parameters away from the "old" code.
90	* !!! ALT Group Information: STOCK-M → "Assortment" → "SKU List" column "In Group" indicates if the item belongs to ALT group. Selecting such an item and clicking "Edit ALT Group" opens a group window with all the items in that group OR you can filter out a specific main item in the list, to see all the items, associated with the main item. If the SKU code and the Main code are the same so then the item/product in the group is the main item.

155
156	* The second manager can only be assigned in StockM. It can be loaded via Table L11.
157	* After selecting on the dashboard (Home):
158	** “All Users” – data is filtered by the first manager, as it was before;
159	** A specific manager – shows all the items where that manager is assigned as the first or the second manager. Where amounts are calculated, they are visible only under the first manager (because the product sets of the first and second managers may overlap).
160	* On the taskbar a user who is logged in sees all the tasks where he is assigned in any way (as the first or the second manager), if the setting “show on dashboard” is active for him.
161	* In the window “Taskboard”:

164	* Manager 2 is visible in the reports.
165
166	//23. __Limit by sales__ //– the maximum allowable quantity for one item inventory in a purchase order. The limit is calculated by system for each SKU (in monetary expression, eg. 5000 EUR). The function is activated only in agreement with the project manager//.//
167
168	1) If at least one item in the order exceeds the limit and the logged in user has no right to exceed the limit, the system will not allow to send the order. The user selects one of the following options:
169
170	- save the order and forward to another person for sending it, whose orders are not restricted
171
172	- reduces the quantity of the restricted item to the permitted limit or removes it and sends the order.
173
174	2) if the limit is set in the SKU card, then while calculating the limit of order, estimated is only the limit, which is calculated according sales.
175
176	* if calculating the limit according sales, 50% of the time there were no sales, then the new product/item limit is adjusted to the item (the new item limit is set by the project manager in the administration module).
177
178	//24. __ASS__// – A feature of an item, which is (not) in the assortment, that can stop a regular supply of an item from an accounting program (the ASS mark is only renewed from an accounting program). The status of the item according the ASS mark is not managed automatically, i.e. if it was updated from the accounting program ASS = 0 (item not in the assortment), but StockM item status is DTA, then the item will stay DTA, but will not be included into a regular order and lost sales for it will not be calculated. If ASS = 1 (the item is in the assortment) has been updated from the accounting program, but STOCK-M item status is DTO, then the item will stay DTO, i.e. will not be included into regular orders.
179
180	__This feature cannot be used when the supplier temporarily stopped the supply of the goods.__
181
182	__25.__ The column "Next delivery". This column is visible in the Inventory, Suppliers Schedule windows and on the product card. If the item is the same time in a several orders, the nearest expected delivery date is displayed. If you don't see the column, open it through the column selection.
183
184	//26. __Min. buffer__// – it is the value, to which the buffer can decrease (the buffer cannot be less than MinBuf or MOQ). Used to manage packages, when in storage places musy be eg. not less than 4 units, although it is possible to order and sell 1 unit each, then after setting MinBuf = 4, the system will keep at least 4 units. These 4 units is not just for “beauty” on the shelf, but for sales also.
185
186	//27. __Max. buffer __// - it is the value up to which the buffer can increase (the buffer cannot be bigger than MaxBuf). MaxBuf can be used, when space is limited in the shelf, freezer, storage place, e.g. the freezer can hold up not more than 100 units, if ordered more, there will be no place to put the goods.
187
188	//28.// After clicking[[image:grafiko ikonele.PNG]]on the item line/row - will be displayed the item graph.
189
190	//29. // You can edit all visible columns at once, for all selected items.
191
192	//30.// If the parameters for the DTA and DTO items are set incorrectly, the system, while saving changes, additionally will notify you about errors while editing the line (eg: BUF <MinBuf, MOQ <USQ, etc.). Errors/mistakes are not detailed, while editing multiple lines at once.
193
194	//31.// IMPORTANT: after changing item MOQ or Min. buf or Max. buf in the item card, check item buffer. If item buffer is less than MOQ or Min.buf. or bigger than Max, buf, then change item buffer, which will be > = MOQ or Min.buf. and buffer <= Max.buf.
195
196	//32. Rule !!! BUFF> = MOQ or Min.buf and BUFF <= Max.buf.//
197
198	//33.// If the supply of an item has been stopped and the item was out of stock in all storage places, then you have to fill again all storage places, after renewing the supply. This is done by filling the shelves (see below).
199
200	34. [[image:kopijuoti ikonele.PNG]] – line/row copying is rarely used function. It is required when there is no item in the accounting program in some storage place yet (also it is not in StockM, but the item needs to be ordered). Click the icon to select the storage places, which you want to add. All other parameters will be copied. Check all editable fields.
201
202	* !!! For the item, which is added to the storage place, data must begin to be updated from the accounting program. So don't forget to take the necessary actions in the accounting program.
203
204	Item buffer
205
206	~1. New item buffer:
207
208	1) the new item (SKU) in STOCK-M has a buffer 0 (except when for new items (SKU) buffer is updated from the accounting program. This is agreed at the beginning of the project with the project manager);
209
210	2) It is necessary to set a buffer for DTA goods/items as orders will be formed based on the set buffer.
211
212	* __//!!! For DTO, NM state goods (SKU) it is possible to set or leave buffer = 0.//__
213
214	3) new item buffer is planned availability (see definition of buffer above, see [[Item (SKU) Settings - Buffer>>WebHome\|\|anchor="buferio apibrezimas"]]).
215
216	4) For the new item you can set the buffer:
217
218
219	STOCK-M → window "Today" → "New SKU"
220
221	OR
222
223	STOCK-M → “Assortment” → “Inventory” → Filter: status ND, storage place, supplier, etc.
224
225	5) in the window that opens you can see a list of new items. Enter the value of the primary buffer in the "New buffer" field and press "Enter", the change confirmation window will pop up. In the confirmation window that opens, the system asks you to enter the reason for changing the item buffer (in this case, the reason is "for new item is set primary buffer").
226
227	* Item buffer can be changed for all selected rows at the same time by pressing a button [[image:EditSelected.png]].
228
229	6) In the window „New SKU“ you also can:
230
231	* Edit all matching SKU parameters - either directly in the row or for selected rows at once. Editable column headings are highlighted.
232
233	* For items to assign the smallest system's available item buffer (MOQ) - in the "New buffer" column, click [[image:kalkuliatoriaus ikonele.PNG]],(((
234	· buffer calculation parameters window will open, after selecting "Set Buffer = MOQ" system will set automatically the smallest value of buffer, which is visible in column "MOQ".[[image:39_BufferParameters.png]]
235	)))
236
237	* the setting can be applied to all selected rows at the same time.
238
239	2. Item buffer correction:
240
241	1) if you need to change the buffer for the new item, i.e. for an item that already has some buffer set, open the Inventory window:
242
243
244	STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.
245
246	2) to the column „New buffer“ enter new value, to which you want to change the buffer and clicl „Enter“.
247
248	3) When you save changes, select the reason why you change the buffer.
249
250	4) You can change values for all marked rows at the same time.
251
252	More detailed (see: [[Rules for buffer changing>>doc:User_Manual.Changing_Buffer.WebHome]])
253
254	== Shelf filling ==
255
256	~1. When you start to fill in a new item or the item has not been refilled for some time (shops were out of stock) and it is necessary a bigger primary supplement of items (supplement of shelves), in such case it is used "order once" function.
257
258
259
260	STOCK-M -> „Buffers“ -> New items“ -> Filter: storage place, supplier and etc.
261
262	OR
263
264	STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: storage place, supplier and etc.
265
266	2. Enter the quantity near the required item into the column "Order once", by which shops shelves must be filled in and click "Enter". Entered quantity will be added to the regular order quantity (which is necessary for regular item supplement). This quantity will be automatically as "zero" (= 0), when you place/send your order.
267
268	* Once order you can also enter for all marked items (SKU) if you need to supplement it with the similar quantity.
269
270	== Taken out (SKU) cards activation ==
271
272
273	~1. Item (SKU) „renewal“:
274
275	1) If an item was turned off in STOCK-M (transfered ti NA status), however an item „moved“, i.e. appeared PTO, balance, sale, transmission, supplement (any of operations), such item is „renewed“ as a new item (status ND, buffer=0).
276
277	2) the item appears among the new ones, that manager would check the item to see if it really needs to be turned off, because something is being done with it.
278
279	3) if you return a "renewed" item to an assortment, you will decide to have it in storage place, then you need to select DTA in the "New Items" window, set the buffer, remove the OUT mark, if such mark was set (you can take out the OUT mark: STOCK-M -> "Assortment" -> "SKU list"). If you will not return the item to the assortment, then you need to set DTO status for such item, no need to change the buffer.
280
281	2. Returning items to the assortment:
282
283	1) If you decided to return an item (SKU) to an assortment, that has already been deactivated/turned off (STOCK-M state NA), you must activate/turn on such item (SKU) in the accounting program and MUST turn on the item in STOCK-M.
284
285	* The data in STOCK-M is not updated with the item state NA, so if you only activate the item in the accounting program, the item in STOCK-M will not switch on automatically.
286
287	2) An item, which is turned off, you will find STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.
288
289	3) Change item (SKU) state from NA to the required (DTA, DTO, NM);
290
291	4) Take off the mark OUT: STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „SKU list“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.
292
293	5) Check other item parameters (see: [[Item parameters>>WebHome]]).
294
295	----

== **Item parameters** ==

25

26

~1. It is necessary to fill in (or correct) parameters of item, which are not updated from the accounting program.

3. F__ill in all required parameters, which are not renewed from the accounting program:__

56

57

**//__SYSTEMATIC PARAMETERS (changeable for one item throughout the system) - information in the "head" of item (STOCK-M → “Assortment” → “SKU List”):__//**

58

59

**//1.__ SKU code__//** – it is a unique item (SKU) code, that is always updated from an accounting program (unless a new item (SKU) is created during a special order formation). In STOCK-M, item(SKU) code is not changed.

60

61

//**2. __SKU name __**//– item name is always updated from an accounting program (except when new item (SKU) is created during a special order formation).

62

63

**//3. __Group__//** – an item group/category by which the items are distributed in the accounting program (this group is updated/renewed from the accounting program, except when the new item (SKU) is created during the special order formation). According this group you will be able to see and analyze STOCK-M reports ("Inventory dynamics", "Buffer status").

64

65

**//4. __Manufacturer __//**– primary supplier of the goods/items, i.e. external supplier from which the item is ordered.

66

67

**//5. __Dimension__//** – is always updated from the accounting program (except when a new item (SKU) is created during the special order formation, then the unit of measure must be selected from the list.

76

77

**//10. __A mover__//** – this mark is assigned to items, that makes 80% of company turnover. This is a systematic parameter that is set automatically.

78

79

82

83

(% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %)//**13.__ Edit selected__ **//- button allows you to edit visible editable fields of the marked rows. For all selected rows will be written the same value of the field, while saving the changes. When making massive changes, parameters errors are not specified/detaled.

84

85

(% style="letter-spacing:0.1px" %)//**14.__ Edit ALT group__**// – is used when there are several items that are the same in the buyer's eye, but any of them can be bought and sold. When ordering an item from a supplier, need to evaluate/estimate balance/stock of the alternative items. OR replace the old product code with a new one. Then it is used alternative merge function. After marking the goods/items, which have to be merged or selecting one of these goods and clicking the button - enter analogous / alternative goods, in the window that opens. In the system there are visible all items/goods, merged/connected to the ALT group, however orders are formed only for the main item. When it is not possible to order the main item - it is ordered an alternative item (see: [[Combining alternative items>>doc:User_Manual.Assortment_Management.WebHome||anchor="HCombiningalternativeitems"]]).

86

87

* !!! Alternative item has a state ALT: STOCK-M -> “Assortment” -> “Inventory” -> Filter: a specific item or a specific storage place/supplier and etc. In the window that opens, you can see information about item and in the "State" column specified ALT. ALT status cannot be changed until the item is not separated from the alternatives group//.//

88

89

* !!! When a unique code is changed in the accounting program for the same item, STOCK-M is updated as a new item. The "Old" and "New" items must be merged/connected, leaving the "new" code as the main and moving the parameters away from the "old" code.

90

* !!! ALT Group Information: STOCK-M → "Assortment" → "SKU List" column "In Group" indicates if the item belongs to ALT group. Selecting such an item and clicking "Edit ALT Group" opens a group window with all the items in that group OR you can filter out a specific main item in the list, to see all the items, associated with the main item. If the SKU code and the Main code are the same so then the item/product in the group is the main item.

141

142

**//17. __Split mark__//** – is determined when separate orders are placed for the same supplier at the same storage place (can be formed even on different days). If you want to assign the same split mark to all storage places, you need to mark/select the required rows and click [[image:EditSelected.png]] //, enter the required value in the resulting table and save changes in the table that appears.//

155

156

* The second manager can only be assigned in StockM. It can be loaded via Table L11.

157

* After selecting on the dashboard (Home):

158

** “All Users” – data is filtered by the first manager, as it was before;

159

** A specific manager – shows all the items where that manager is assigned as the first or the second manager. Where amounts are calculated, they are visible only under the first manager (because the product sets of the first and second managers may overlap).

160

* On the taskbar a user who is logged in sees all the tasks where he is assigned in any way (as the first or the second manager), if the setting “show on dashboard” is active for him.

161

* In the window “Taskboard”:

162

** A particular user sees all the tasks where he or she is assigned in any way (as the first or the second manager);

163

** In the case of “All Users”, the data is filtered by the first manager (as it was).

164

* Manager 2 is visible in the reports.

165

166

//**23. __Limit by sales__ **//– the maximum allowable quantity for one item inventory in a purchase order. The limit is calculated by system for each SKU (in monetary expression, eg. 5000 EUR). The function is activated only in agreement with the project manager//.//

167

168

1) If at least one item in the order exceeds the limit and the logged in user has no right to exceed the limit, the system will not allow to send the order. The user selects one of the following options:

169

170

- save the order and forward to another person for sending it, whose orders are not restricted

171

172

- reduces the quantity of the restricted item to the permitted limit or removes it and sends the order.

173

174

2) if the limit is set in the SKU card, then while calculating the limit of order, estimated is only the limit, which is calculated according sales.

175

176

* if calculating the limit according sales, 50% of the time there were no sales, then the new product/item limit is adjusted to the item (the new item limit is set by the project manager in the administration module).

177

178

//**24. __ASS__**// – A feature of an item, which is (not) in the assortment, that can stop a regular supply of an item from an accounting program (the ASS mark is only renewed from an accounting program). The status of the item according the ASS mark is not managed automatically, i.e. if it was updated from the accounting program ASS = 0 (item not in the assortment), but StockM item status is DTA, then the item will stay DTA, but will not be included into a regular order and lost sales for it will not be calculated. If ASS = 1 (the item is in the assortment) has been updated from the accounting program, but STOCK-M item status is DTO, then the item will stay DTO, i.e. will not be included into regular orders.

179

180

**__This feature cannot be used when the supplier temporarily stopped the supply of the goods.__**

181

182

**__25.__ The column "Next delivery".** This column is visible in the Inventory, Suppliers Schedule windows and on the product card. If the item is the same time in a several orders, the nearest expected delivery date is displayed. If you don't see the column, open it through the column selection.

183

184

//**26. __Min. buffer__**// – it is the value, to which the buffer can decrease (the buffer cannot be less than MinBuf or MOQ). Used to manage packages, when in storage places musy be eg. not less than 4 units, although it is possible to order and sell 1 unit each, then after setting MinBuf = 4, the system will keep at least 4 units. These 4 units is not just for “beauty” on the shelf, but for sales also.

185

186

**//27. __Max. buffer __//** - it is the value up to which the buffer can increase (the buffer cannot be bigger than MaxBuf). MaxBuf can be used, when space is limited in the shelf, freezer, storage place, e.g. the freezer can hold up not more than 100 units, if ordered more, there will be no place to put the goods.

187

188

//**28.**// After clicking[[image:grafiko ikonele.PNG]]on the item line/row - will be displayed the item graph.

189

190

**//29. //** You can edit all visible columns at once, for all selected items.

191

192

//**30.**// If the parameters for the DTA and DTO items are set incorrectly, the system, while saving changes, additionally will notify you about errors while editing the line (eg: BUF <MinBuf, MOQ <USQ, etc.). Errors/mistakes are not detailed, while editing multiple lines at once.

193

194

**//31.//** **IMPORTANT**: after changing item MOQ or Min. buf or Max. buf in the item card, check item buffer. If item buffer is less than MOQ or Min.buf. or bigger than Max, buf, then change item buffer, which will be > = MOQ or Min.buf. and buffer <= Max.buf.

195

196

//**32. Rule !!! BUFF> = MOQ or Min.buf and BUFF <= Max.buf.**//

197

198

**//33.//** If the supply of an item has been stopped and the item was out of stock in all storage places, then you have to fill again all storage places, after renewing the supply. This is done by filling the shelves (see below).

199

200

**34. [[image:kopijuoti ikonele.PNG]]** – line/row copying is rarely used function. It is required when there is no item in the accounting program in some storage place yet (also it is not in StockM, but the item needs to be ordered). Click the icon to select the storage places, which you want to add. All other parameters will be copied. Check all editable fields.

201

202

* !!! For the item, which is added to the storage place, data must begin to be updated from the accounting program. So don't forget to take the necessary actions in the accounting program.

**Item buffer**

~1. New item buffer:

1) the new item (SKU) in STOCK-M has a buffer 0 (except when for new items (SKU) buffer is updated from the accounting program. This is agreed at the beginning of the project with the project manager);

209

210

2) It is necessary to set a buffer for DTA goods/items as orders will be formed based on the set buffer.

211

212

* **__//!!! For DTO, NM state goods (SKU) it is possible to set or leave buffer = 0.//__**

213

214

3) new item buffer is planned availability (see definition of buffer above, see [[Item (SKU) Settings - Buffer>>WebHome||anchor="buferio apibrezimas"]]).

215

216

4) For the new item you can set the buffer:

217

218

219

STOCK-M → window "Today" → "New SKU"

OR

STOCK-M → “Assortment” → “Inventory” → Filter: status ND, storage place, supplier, etc.

224

225

5) in the window that opens you can see a list of new items. Enter the value of the primary buffer in the "New buffer" field and press "Enter", the change confirmation window will pop up. In the confirmation window that opens, the system asks you to enter the reason for changing the item buffer (in this case, the reason is "for new item is set primary buffer").

226

227

* Item buffer can be changed for all selected rows at the same time by pressing a button [[image:EditSelected.png]].

228

229

6) In the window „New SKU“ you also can:

230

231

* Edit all matching SKU parameters - either directly in the row or for selected rows at once. Editable column headings are highlighted.

232

233

* For items to assign the smallest system's available item buffer (MOQ) - in the "New buffer" column, click [[image:kalkuliatoriaus ikonele.PNG]],(((

234

· buffer calculation parameters window will open, after selecting "Set Buffer = MOQ" system will set automatically the smallest value of buffer, which is visible in column "MOQ".[[image:39_BufferParameters.png]]

235

)))

236

237

* the setting can be applied to all selected rows at the same time.

238

239

2. Item buffer correction:

240

241

1) if you need to change the buffer for the new item, i.e. for an item that already has some buffer set, open the Inventory window:

242

243

244

STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.

245

246

2) to the column „New buffer“ enter new value, to which you want to change the buffer and clicl „Enter“.

247

248

3) When you save changes, select the reason why you change the buffer.

249

250

4) You can change values for all marked rows at the same time.

251

252

More detailed (see: [[Rules for buffer changing>>doc:User_Manual.Changing_Buffer.WebHome]])

253

254

== **Shelf filling** ==

255

256

~1. When you start to fill in a new item or the item has not been refilled for some time (shops were out of stock) and it is necessary a bigger primary supplement of items (supplement of shelves), in such case it is used "order once" function.

STOCK-M -> „Buffers“ -> New items“ -> Filter: storage place, supplier and etc.

OR

STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: storage place, supplier and etc.

265

266

2. Enter the quantity near the required item into the column "Order once", by which shops shelves must be filled in and click "Enter". Entered quantity will be added to the regular order quantity (which is necessary for regular item supplement). This quantity will be automatically as "zero" (= 0), when you place/send your order.

267

268

* Once order you can also enter for all marked items (SKU) if you need to supplement it with the similar quantity.

269

270

== **Taken out (SKU) cards activation** ==

271

272

273

~1. Item (SKU) „renewal“:

274

275

1) If an item was turned off in STOCK-M (transfered ti NA status), however an item „moved“, i.e. appeared PTO, balance, sale, transmission, supplement (any of operations), such item is „renewed“ as a new item (status ND, buffer=0).

276

277

2) the item appears among the new ones, that manager would check the item to see if it really needs to be turned off, because something is being done with it.

278

279

3) if you return a "renewed" item to an assortment, you will decide to have it in storage place, then you need to select DTA in the "New Items" window, set the buffer, remove the OUT mark, if such mark was set (you can take out the OUT mark: STOCK-M -> "Assortment" -> "SKU list"). If you will not return the item to the assortment, then you need to set DTO status for such item, no need to change the buffer.

280

281

2. Returning items to the assortment:

282

283

1) If you decided to return an item (SKU) to an assortment, that has already been deactivated/turned off (STOCK-M state NA), you must activate/turn on such item (SKU) in the accounting program and **MUST** turn on the item in STOCK-M.

284

285

* The data in STOCK-M is not updated with the item state NA, so if you only activate the item in the accounting program, the item in STOCK-M will not switch on automatically.

286

287

2) An item, which is turned off, you will find STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „Inventory“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.

288

289

3) Change item (SKU) state from NA to the required (DTA, DTO, NM);

290

291

4) Take off the mark OUT: STOCK-M -> „Assortment“ -> „SKU list“ -> Filter: item (SKU), storage place, supplier and etc.

292

293

5) Check other item parameters (see: [[Item parameters>>WebHome]]).
