🧾 Introduction

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

• 📦 Controlling inventory.

• 🧮 Optimizing warehouse space.

• 🚚 Streamlining supply chain operations.

Logic ERP offers a robust framework for managing inventory at various levels—ranging from fixed item codes to detailed carton-level tracking📦. 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 reports🔍.

🔹 1. Fixed Item Code Management

✔️ Overview:

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

📌 Implementation Steps:

1. Go to Purchase Entry.

2. Select the item using its unique item code🏷️.

3. Enter quantity🔢, purchase rate💰, and other necessary details.

4. 💾Save the entry.

✅This setup ensures that:

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

• Inventory tracking is simplified and consistent.

📊 Reporting:

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

🔹 2. Lot/Batch-Wise Inventory Management

✔️ Overview:

Used when tracking by production batch or expiry date is crucial (e.g., textiles🧵, pharmaceuticals💊, chemicals).

📌 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 generate🔄 these lot codes or allow manual entry✍️.

✅Benefits:

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

• Facilitates batch recalls or quality control checks.

📊 Reporting:

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

🔹 3. Unique Piece-Wise Tracking with Barcode

✔️ Overview:

Recommended for industries where every single unit must be tracked individually (e.g., electronics📱, apparel👗, jewelry💍).

📌 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 printed🖨️ for physical tagging and used for dispatch, stock check, and return.

✅Benefits:

• Facilitates individual product traceability.

• Reduces human error during dispatch and inventory counting.

📊 Reporting:

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

🔹 4. Set-Wise Inventory Management

✔️ Overview:

Useful for creating product bundles or combos (e.g., gift sets🎁, kits🧰).

📌 Implementation Steps:

1. Go to Set Creation Module.

2. Right-click➡️ and select Create New Set.

3. Define Set Name, add items🔢 with their respective quantities.

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

🎯Use Case:

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

• Quickens the dispatch🛒 process through single-scan processing.

📊 Reporting:

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

🔹 5. Carton-Wise Inventory Management

✔️ Overview:

Best for bulk packaging and logistics tracking (especially for exports📦 or warehouse management📍).

📌 Implementation Steps:

1. After creating sets, go to Carton Management.

2. Select➡️ 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 stock📦.

✅Benefits:

• Enhances visibility into packaged inventory.

• Improves coordination between warehouse and dispatch teams.

📊 Reporting:

• The Carton Wise Stock Report🧾 shows:

  • 📦Total cartons in stock.

  • ✅Cartons allocated vs. available.

  • 🧾Individual set codes within each carton.

📌 Real-Life Example for Clarification:

Let’s say you purchase 10 shirts👕 with the same design but different colors on different dates📅. You can manage them as:

SKU Type	Description	Example
🎯Item Code	All 10 shirts tracked under a single item code	SHIRT001
🧬Lot-Wise	Track based on purchase date or supplier	LOT-APR10, LOT-APR15
🧾Piece-Wise	Assign a unique code to each shirt	SH001, SH002, ..., SH010
🧺Set-Wise	Combine a shirt, jeans, and belt into a set	SET-CASUAL01
📦Carton-Wise	Pack 5 sets into one carton for dispatch	CRT-EXP01
