The item page

Clicking an item in the list opens it on the right. Everything about that item is on this one page: what it is, what it costs, how many you hold, what it is made of and how it got to that number.

The item page for a 5MP IP Camera: pictures and Basic Details across the top, Pricing and Stock Information on the right, description, notes, sub items and history below

Inventory → Product(s), with an item open

The item’s name titles the page, with a badge beside it showing whether the item is Active or Inactive. The buttons on the right are what you can do to it.

The item action bar: Copy Item, Add/Remove Stock, Edit Item and a bin icon

Item page → action bar

  • Copy Item starts a new item from this one, with its details already filled in.
  • Add/Remove Stock moves the quantity up or down — see managing stock.
  • Edit Item reopens the item’s form.
  • The bin deletes the item.

Copying, editing and deleting are covered in editing, copying and deleting an item.

An item can carry several photographs, with the large one showing whichever thumbnail is selected. The arrows either side of the thumbnail strip move along it when there are more pictures than fit, and the dotted + tile adds another.

The card down the right holds the money and the quantities.

The Pricing card with Supplier Cost, Margin, Rate, Tax and Discount, and Stock Information with Projected Stock, Stock on Hand and Reserve Stock

Item page → Pricing and Stock Information

Pricing is what the item costs you and what you charge for it:

  • Supplier Cost — what you pay for one.
  • Margin — the mark-up between that cost and your rate.
  • Rate — the price you charge for one. It is the figure that lands on quotes, jobs and invoices.
  • Tax — the tax rate that applies to it, such as VAT 23%.
  • Discount — the standing discount on the item.

Stock Information is how many you have, and Low stock alert level set at underneath it is the threshold you asked to be warned at. The three figures are explained in managing stock.

Item Description is the item’s own description — what it is, what it does — and it travels with the item onto documents. Item Notes is your own internal remark about it. Both are set on the item’s form.

Underneath sits the item’s parts list: the components linked to this item, each with its description and model number. Link Item(s) adds to it, and an item with nothing linked reads Not Found.
