Product fields explained

These are the fields on a product, and what each one is for.

  • Product code — your own identifier for the item, if you use one.
  • Unit of measure — how the item is sold, for example per kilo or per carton.
  • Stock level — what customers see about availability. Marking an item low or out of stock warns them before they order.
  • Location and Shelf space — where the item sits in your warehouse, so pickers can find it.
  • Approximate unit size — useful for randomly weighted items such as a leg of lamb, where the exact weight varies.
  • Sub-category — groups products into sections within a category, so customers can browse a long list more easily.
