      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. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Stockkeeping Units, and then choose the related link.
      2. Choose 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.

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

      To create several stockkeeping units for an item, use the Create Stockkeeping Unit batch job.

      Note

      The information on the Stockkeeping Unit card has priority over the Item card.

      Warning

      If the SKU is supplied through production, then the Standard Cost field is not used when invoicing and adjusting the actual cost of the produced item. Instead, the Standard Cost field on the underlying item card is used, and any variances are calculated against the cost shares of that item.

      Because production BOMs and routing cannot be assigned to SKUs, then the unit cost roll-up and the related calculation of cost shares are also not available on SKUs. For more information, see About Calculating Standard Cost
