The Inventory tab allows you to set the information that makes it easier to track and manage the inventory for that item.
- Target inventory: specifies the inventory to be used when receiving. To prevent it from ending automatically when it reaches zero, it is best to choose a bin-type inventory. Otherwise, you will need to review the target inventory manually. (Read more about bin type inventories here).
- Forces target inventory field to be mandatory in receipts: if this option is enabled and no target inventory is configured in the item, you will need to select one before completing the receipt.
- Location: corresponds to the location of the item in the warehouse. Any new inventory creation for this item will automatically use the selected location.
- Allow alternative items: replace this item with one of the items in the list when shipping or consuming.
- Customer consignment: allows this item to be used in consignment mode in a sales order, such as when the customer provides supplies components to complete the order. You can also set a specific customer to limit the use of this item to certain customers only.
- Expiration delay: allows you to set the expiration date that is automatically assigned to the inventory when it is created.
- Tare type: allows you to set the tare for the weight of the item.
- Printable: if enabled, inventory associated with this item will be printable.
- Print label: allows you to select the label templates that can be used for inventories of this item.
