Stock - Alternates
Menu Selection: Document - Stock - Alternates
Purpose
This document provides the ability to define stock alternatives for use with the barcode scanning features in LILAC.
Prerequisites
There must be product master records established in the database via the Stock - Account document. Also you must be using the Sales - Meat Order document.
Context
This document allows the user to define stock alternatives. You need to establish stock alternatives if you wish to sell out of an umbrella product, and still maintain individual stock items.
For example, if you have a product called RUMP, that you sell to your customers. However when you purchase stock in, you purchase in rump that weights over 6Kgs as one product say RUMP6KG and also rump that weights less than 6kgs RUMP1KG. You can use this document to allow the products RUMP6KG and RUMP1KG to be sold out as RUMP. This means that the two products are hidden from the customer behind the umbrella product RUMP.
