Products and units are an important part of a shipment.
In this article you read where these can be recorded and what the possibilities are.
¶ Products
Step 1
Open the products table. This can be done in two ways:
- Main files -> General -> Products or
- F11 -> Products
Step 2
Click on New and fill in a Description.
Step 3.
A product can have different properties. For instance temperature demands, GMP-class, ADR-class.
A product can be part of a product group, which is a collection of products.
¶ Units
Here different units are recorded, like pallets, europallets, boxes, colli, etc.
Of these units different properties and dimension are set. These are automatically filled in on the order when filling in this unit.
¶ Conversions
Here you set how units are converted. For example 1 europallet = 750 kg, 1 pallet = 900 kg. This can be set per customer, but also per product or by default.
A large product on a pallet can be lighter than some other product (compare toilet paper and bottles of soft drink). Plus a pallet with a certain product might be heavier for one customer than it is for another due to packaging.
