๐งพ Introduction
Efficient SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) management is critical to:
๐ฆ Controlling inventory.
๐งฎ Optimizing warehouse space.
๐ Streamlining supply chain operations.
Logic ERP offers a robust framework for managing inventory at various levelsโranging from fixed item codes to detailed carton-level tracking๐ฆ. In this tutorial, we will walk through the different types of SKU management supported in Logic ERP, along with how each can be implemented and monitored using real-time reports๐.
๐น 1. Fixed Item Code Management
โ๏ธ Overview:
This method is ideal for businesses where each product has a consistent SKU or item code across all transactions๐ , regardless of purchase or sale instances.
๐ Implementation Steps:
Go to Purchase Entry.
Select the item using its unique item code๐ท๏ธ.
Enter quantity๐ข, purchase rate๐ฐ, and other necessary details.
๐พSave the entry.
โ This setup ensures that:
All stock entries (even on different dates or from different suppliers) are consolidated.
Inventory tracking is simplified and consistent.
๐ Reporting:
Use the Item Code Stock Status Report๐งพ to view overall stock by item code, including quantity available, issued, and balance.
๐น 2. Lot/Batch-Wise Inventory Management
โ๏ธ Overview:
Used when tracking by production batch or expiry date is crucial (e.g., textiles๐งต, pharmaceuticals๐, chemicals).
๐ Implementation Steps:
In the Purchase Entry, choose to create a new batch or lot for the item.
Each transaction row will be assigned a distinct lot code, even for the same item.
The system can automatically generate๐ these lot codes or allow manual entryโ๏ธ.
โ Benefits:
Helps track quality, expiry, or supplier-specific information.
Facilitates batch recalls or quality control checks.
๐ Reporting:
The Lot Code Wise Stock Report๐งพ gives detailed visibility of stock levels per batch, including date of entry and supplier.
๐น 3. Unique Piece-Wise Tracking with Barcode
โ๏ธ Overview:
Recommended for industries where every single unit must be tracked individually (e.g., electronics๐ฑ, apparel๐, jewelry๐).
๐ Implementation Steps:
During Purchase Entry, enable Piece-Wise Tracking.
Logic ERP generates a unique barcode or piece code for each item unit.
Barcodes can be printed๐จ๏ธ for physical tagging and used for dispatch, stock check, and return.
โ Benefits:
Facilitates individual product traceability.
Reduces human error during dispatch and inventory counting.
๐ Reporting:
The Piece Code Inventory Report๐งพ displays individual units, their transaction history, and current status.
๐น 4. Set-Wise Inventory Management
โ๏ธ Overview:
Useful for creating product bundles or combos (e.g., gift sets๐, kits๐งฐ).
๐ Implementation Steps:
Go to Set Creation Module.
Right-clickโก๏ธ and select Create New Set.
Define Set Name, add items๐ข with their respective quantities.
Save the set to generate a unique Set Code.
๐ฏUse Case:
Ideal for promotions or sales where multiple items are sold together.
Quickens the dispatch๐ process through single-scan processing.
๐ Reporting:
The Set-Wise Stock Report๐งพ shows the items included in each set and their stock levels.
๐น 5. Carton-Wise Inventory Management
โ๏ธ Overview:
Best for bulk packaging and logistics tracking (especially for exports๐ฆ or warehouse management๐).
๐ Implementation Steps:
After creating sets, go to Carton Management.
Selectโก๏ธ Create Carton.
Assign sets to a carton. The system will generate a unique Carton Code for each.
The inventory is now treated as reserved and moved to carton stock๐ฆ.
โ Benefits:
Enhances visibility into packaged inventory.
Improves coordination between warehouse and dispatch teams.
๐ Reporting:
The Carton Wise Stock Report๐งพ shows:
๐ฆTotal cartons in stock.
โ Cartons allocated vs. available.
๐งพIndividual set codes within each carton.
๐ Real-Life Example for Clarification:
Letโs say you purchase 10 shirts๐ with the same design but different colors on different dates๐ . You can manage them as:
๐ฏItem Code
All 10 shirts tracked under a single item code
SHIRT001
๐งฌLot-Wise
Track based on purchase date or supplier
LOT-APR10, LOT-APR15
๐งพPiece-Wise
Assign a unique code to each shirt
SH001, SH002, ..., SH010
๐งบSet-Wise
Combine a shirt, jeans, and belt into a set
SET-CASUAL01
๐ฆCarton-Wise
Pack 5 sets into one carton for dispatch
CRT-EXP01

๐Improve traceability and quality control.
