Setting up core products

Use these instructions to set up core products. When you set up a core product in inventory, you must set up three product records for each core product:

  • the remanufactured core product is the refurbished product that you purchase from a vendor and stock in your inventory to sell to a customer.
  • the implied core charge is the deposit fee that is automatically added to a customer order, purchase order (called an implied core cost), or warehouse transfer when the associated remanufactured core product is entered.
  • the dirty core product is used core product that a customer returns to you for credit and you return to the vendor.

Verify that you understand how the price and cost options affect these records before you begin entering orders.
