Product Register Tab: Settings

View - Product - Product Register - Settings

You can specify settings for the way each product is to be processed in relation to integration, purchasing, sales and warehouse. You can for example, specify that the product is a stock item, resource or service, and specify how the product should be expensed and which accounts should be used for stock value, product costs and sales income. If you track products, select the settings for this here.

Tip! You can change the values below for a selection of products simultaneously by using the tool Updating a selection of products. Read more in Updating a Selection of Products.

Settings for processing products in other modules

Stock items: Warehouse transactions for purchases and sales are only registered for stock items. This field gives you the opportunity to define more sophisticated filters when printing reports and does not affect the way in which the product cost is posted. The settings for expensing product costs can be found in the Warehouse tab.

Resource: Resources can be linked to an Activity, e.g. meeting rooms, projectors and such.

Work/Services: If you have products that are forms of work or services you may select this option. This setting can be used for example for statistics.

Campaign product: If you have products that are campaign products you can select this option. This field is for your own information.

Commission: Select this option if you would like to calculate your salesmen’s pay registration. If the item should not be included in commission calculations, you need to de-select it.

Settings for product tracking

The settings are only displayed if you have activated the functions serial number, consignment number and/or best before date in the company settings for the product module.

These settings affect warehouse transactions performed within the program.

Serial number: Select this option if you wish to make it mandatory to state a serial number for transactions into and out of the warehouse.

Consignment number: Select this option if you want to make a consignment number mandatory for transactions in and out of the warehouse.

Best before date: Select this option if you want to make it mandatory to state best before dates for transactions in and out of the warehouse.

Settings for posting

Here you can specify how a product's costs should be expensed. If you selected the Individual rule for updating stock value in the accounts option under the Price Processing tab of the company settings for product, you can choose to update your accounts at two different stages/with two different methods. This only applies to products that update their stock value (stock items).

You can select the accounts that apply to the product from the Balance sheet account for stock value, Account for stock change and Cost account for product cost drop-down lists. This can be of use if you would like these accounts to override the settings made on Control accounts level.

You can also specify the Sales accounts you want for the product here. If the fields are empty, default accounts will be used.

Tip! You can change the Sales accounts per Product group in the Properties register. To do so can make it easier to maintain the sales accounts for a product group as one. However, if you have entered a sales account directly on the product card, it will override all other settings.
