More Information

  • This will take you to a search screen. Type either the stock code of the item required (e.g. 'NGK1234') or the description (e.g. NGK Spark plug).
  • Click twice on the item to which you want to add a Stock Group.
  • Click on the Groups/Analysis tab.
  • Enter a 3 character code in CAPITAL LETTERS for the group that you wish to attach to this part, e.g. 'PTS' for Parts.
  • Press <Shift+F10> to create the group.
  • Enter a description for the group in question, e.g. 'Parts'.
  • Click on the [Settings] tab.

This allows the part in question to have a particular sales centre automatically assigned when sold e.g. 100 for Parts Sales or 150 for Accessories Sales.
    • If you sell units through the Unit Sales system you should specify if items within this group are considered to be 'Workshop', 'Financial' or 'Stock' items.
    • Also whether they are to be included in the "On the road" price. This usually only applies to items such as Road Fund Licence and First Reg Fee.
  • Press <Esc>.
  • Then press <Enter> to save the settings.
  • Finally press <Esc> to return to Stock Properties.
