Creating a New Item (PO and Receiving)

If an item does not exist, a new item can be created from the Item look up window. To do this, the user clicks on the Add New Item button at the bottom of the pop up.

Enter the item data such as item name, classification, attributes, tax structure, vendor cost and selling price. The application will automatically generate the item id and UPC code. If the user wants to add a new classification or attribute they can do so in this screen by adding it into the appropriate "Other" screen.

 If you want to change the auto generated SKU, the following limitations should be followed: 

A real SKU  needs to be given, the character length is 12 digits, with no leading zeros (Example of a bad SKU - 000987867565). Alpha numeric SKU's are not accepted (Example of a bad SKU - XX99888989, 7783SS2989). Hyphenated SKU's are not accepted (Example of a bad SKU - XX-DD-23232222).  

Also users can use this website to check the validity of the SKU - http://www.gs1us.org/solutions_services/tools/check_digit_calculator?utm_campaign=InternalCampaign&utm_source=_Home&utm_medium=QuickLinks&utm_content=CheckDigitCalculator_

If you wish to add an entire line of sizes and you have a size brick created that covers the size matrix, you can do so by selecting the size brick and leaving the size attribute unselected.

After you have entered the data, click create. This will create a new item(s) and it will be added at the bottom of the pop up. Select these items and populate them into the Purchase Order or receiving screen, from here you can modify the UPC code to a valid UPC if available. The application will do a check digit verification to test the validity of the new UPC.
