Stockkeeping units

This feature provides basic functionality that allows you to manage stock keeping units (SKUs), meaning that identical items with the same item number can be stored in different locations (warehouses) and managed individually at each location.

Bills of materials

You use this granule to break down finished goods into bills of materials.

Bills of Materials can be used to describe constructions, package deals and other products that are always sold together.

There are also batch jobs for calculating the direct unit cost of the bills of materials.
