๐Ÿงพ Introduction

Efficient SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) management is critical to:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Controlling inventory.

  • ๐Ÿงฎ Optimizing warehouse space.

  • ๐Ÿšš Streamlining supply chain operations.

Logic ERP offers a robust framework for managing inventory at various levelsโ€”ranging from fixed item codes to detailed carton-level tracking๐Ÿ“ฆ. 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 reports๐Ÿ”.


๐Ÿ”น 1. Fixed Item Code Management

โœ”๏ธ Overview:

This method is ideal for businesses where each product has a consistent SKU or item code across all transactions๐Ÿ“…, regardless of purchase or sale instances.

๐Ÿ“Œ Implementation Steps:

  1. Go to Purchase Entry.

  2. Select the item using its unique item code๐Ÿท๏ธ.

  3. Enter quantity๐Ÿ”ข, purchase rate๐Ÿ’ฐ, and other necessary details.

  4. ๐Ÿ’พSave the entry.

โœ…This setup ensures that:

  • All stock entries (even on different dates or from different suppliers) are consolidated.

  • Inventory tracking is simplified and consistent.

๐Ÿ“Š Reporting:

  • Use the Item Code Stock Status Report๐Ÿงพ to view overall stock by item code, including quantity available, issued, and balance.


๐Ÿ”น 2. Lot/Batch-Wise Inventory Management

โœ”๏ธ Overview:

Used when tracking by production batch or expiry date is crucial (e.g., textiles๐Ÿงต, pharmaceuticals๐Ÿ’Š, chemicals).

๐Ÿ“Œ Implementation Steps:

  1. In the Purchase Entry, choose to create a new batch or lot for the item.

  2. Each transaction row will be assigned a distinct lot code, even for the same item.

  3. The system can automatically generate๐Ÿ”„ these lot codes or allow manual entryโœ๏ธ.

โœ…Benefits:

  • Helps track quality, expiry, or supplier-specific information.

  • Facilitates batch recalls or quality control checks.

๐Ÿ“Š Reporting:

  • The Lot Code Wise Stock Report๐Ÿงพ gives detailed visibility of stock levels per batch, including date of entry and supplier.


๐Ÿ”น 3. Unique Piece-Wise Tracking with Barcode

โœ”๏ธ Overview:

Recommended for industries where every single unit must be tracked individually (e.g., electronics๐Ÿ“ฑ, apparel๐Ÿ‘—, jewelry๐Ÿ’).

๐Ÿ“Œ Implementation Steps:

  1. During Purchase Entry, enable Piece-Wise Tracking.

  2. Logic ERP generates a unique barcode or piece code for each item unit.

  3. Barcodes can be printed๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ for physical tagging and used for dispatch, stock check, and return.

โœ…Benefits:

  • Facilitates individual product traceability.

  • Reduces human error during dispatch and inventory counting.

๐Ÿ“Š Reporting:

  • The Piece Code Inventory Report๐Ÿงพ displays individual units, their transaction history, and current status.


๐Ÿ”น 4. Set-Wise Inventory Management

โœ”๏ธ Overview:

Useful for creating product bundles or combos (e.g., gift sets๐ŸŽ, kits๐Ÿงฐ).

๐Ÿ“Œ Implementation Steps:

  1. Go to Set Creation Module.

  2. Right-clickโžก๏ธ and select Create New Set.

  3. Define Set Name, add items๐Ÿ”ข with their respective quantities.

  4. Save the set to generate a unique Set Code.

๐ŸŽฏUse Case:

  • Ideal for promotions or sales where multiple items are sold together.

  • Quickens the dispatch๐Ÿ›’ process through single-scan processing.

๐Ÿ“Š Reporting:

  • The Set-Wise Stock Report๐Ÿงพ shows the items included in each set and their stock levels.


๐Ÿ”น 5. Carton-Wise Inventory Management

โœ”๏ธ Overview:

Best for bulk packaging and logistics tracking (especially for exports๐Ÿ“ฆ or warehouse management๐Ÿ“).

๐Ÿ“Œ Implementation Steps:

  1. After creating sets, go to Carton Management.

  2. Selectโžก๏ธ Create Carton.

  3. Assign sets to a carton. The system will generate a unique Carton Code for each.

  4. The inventory is now treated as reserved and moved to carton stock๐Ÿ“ฆ.

โœ…Benefits:

  • Enhances visibility into packaged inventory.

  • Improves coordination between warehouse and dispatch teams.

๐Ÿ“Š Reporting:

  • The Carton Wise Stock Report๐Ÿงพ shows:

    • ๐Ÿ“ฆTotal cartons in stock.

    • โœ…Cartons allocated vs. available.

    • ๐ŸงพIndividual set codes within each carton.


๐Ÿ“Œ Real-Life Example for Clarification:

Letโ€™s say you purchase 10 shirts๐Ÿ‘• with the same design but different colors on different dates๐Ÿ“…. You can manage them as:

SKU Type
Description
Example

๐ŸŽฏItem Code

All 10 shirts tracked under a single item code

SHIRT001

๐ŸงฌLot-Wise

Track based on purchase date or supplier

LOT-APR10, LOT-APR15

๐ŸงพPiece-Wise

Assign a unique code to each shirt

๐ŸงบSet-Wise

Combine a shirt, jeans, and belt into a set

SET-CASUAL01

๐Ÿ“ฆCarton-Wise

  • ๐Ÿ”Improve traceability and quality control.
