Item (PLU) Maintenance:
Object Tab
The Object table contains additional information for each PLU. When combined with the PLU's item
code and descriptor the Object table information provides a detailed identification for each item in the
system.
NOTE:
Remember that some of the settings on the Object tab are also available from the "Quick Tab"
.
This example shows the Item table's "Object" tab.
Category
is
not compulsory
. It can be used to link items for reporting purposes only. This can be
used to associate items that are not in the same sub-department (or have no other association in the
system) to get a special report on item sales. Categories are
user defined
; you must program the
Category table before assigning items to categories. This field is
numeric
, up to
6 digits
.
Kit:
Leave this field blank for normal items. Set this field to create a kit only. A kit is used in some
businesses to track multiple inventory items when the kit product is sold. Note that when the Kit field is
selected, the Cost tab becomes a kit tab to allow you to enter the content items that make up the kit.
Family:
Like the Category, the
Family
field is
not compulsory
, but allows you to link similar products
for comparison reporting. For example, if all soft drinks are in one sub-department, you may want a
report comparing sales of different colas, or perhaps the most popular size. The Family field is
user
defined
; enter the
numeric
Family code, up to
6 digits
.
