Adagio Links | Products How do I add an item?
Items are created through Adagio Inventory's Item Maintenance function.
To add a new item, simply click the New button. A tabbed window is displayed, with blank item fields. Filling in some general item information on this first tab is very straightforward. If you're using Adagio Inventory's auto-increment item number feature, just leave that field blank. Then provide some basic information about the item, such as a description of the item, the pricing unit (each, box, etc.) and base price you wish to use, and so forth. Next, you want to set some other information about the item, using the remaining tabs. Visit each one in turn, filling in the information, and then moving on to the next tab. The Units tab is where you set the item's tax status, picking sequence, markup factors, and also any alternate item information that may be applicable in case this item is out of stock. On the Pricing tab, you can set the item's default discount or markup information. Or, you can bypass this tab entirely, as the Pricing information will be filled in automatically based on the category you selected for the item in the first tab. You only need to edit this tab if you want to override the category pricing/markup structure. Use the Vendors tab to assign up to two vendors for each item: a Primary vendor and a Secondary vendor. The Info tab simply gives you a place to record some extra information about this item, such as a more detailed description of the item. Information entered here can be printed on documents by Adagio OrderEntry. The Notes tab lets you keep ongoing notes about the item. You might want to record vendor issues here, or make comments about item turnover. It's up to you! Once you've finished working with these tabs, you're done! Clicking the OK button will save the item. It can now be used during transaction entry. |
