Product Warehouse Product Setup - General overview

Product > Setup > Warehouse Product

Use this page to specify warehouse product information.

Prerequisites

Complete these setups before specifying warehouse product information:

  • Product Warehouse Description Setup
  • Product Setup
  • Product Line Setup
  • Vendor Setup

You should set up these before entering warehouse product information:

  • Product Warehouse Description Setup (ARP Warehouse)
  • SA Table Code Value Setup (Family Group)

The information on the General view must be set up for each new product added to the database. This information is considered static, requiring minimal maintenance.

Set up these records based on information found in Product Catalog Setup. If the product exists in your catalog file, confirm the catalog item. The information in Product Catalog Setup defaults into Product Warehouse Product Setup.

When are finished creating records in Product Warehouse Product Setup, print the products through the Product Master List Report to confirm the information.

The General view contains vital replenishment information that is needed for the Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report and Transfer Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report. Without this information, warehouse products cannot be replenished properly.

Alternate vendor product records created in Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup for the warehouse product are displayed in the Alternate Vendors grid. The products that are listed can be tied to the Product Warehouse Product Setup record if you intend to limit alternate vendor products that are available to purchase in each warehouse. When you establish a tie, the ICSECW internal table is created that stores the link to the warehouse product. The ICSECW is used to expedite queries against the Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup record from numerous functions in the application.

Alternate vendor product records must be maintained in Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup.

The alternate vendor products that are listed in the Alternate Vendors grid are limited based on your implementation:

  • If you have selected Limit Alternate Vendors in SA Administrator Options-Products-Alternates/UPC, only the alternate vendors that you can purchase from are displayed in the grid. Alternate vendors are limited by the warehouse associated with the warehouse product they are tied to.
  • If you are assigned to one or more divisions in SA Operator Setup, all alternate vendor products that are set up for the warehouse product assigned to your allowed divisions are displayed in the grid. The alternate vendor products tied to the warehouse product are noted with a check mark in the Selected column.

Foreign language translation

To change the language of the product description on pick tickets, acknowledgments, purchase orders, warehouse transfers, and invoices for a particular customer or vendor, click Multiple Language. On the Multiple Language Setup dialog window, select a language and specify a description in that language. Save your changes. The appropriate documents print the product description if the language code has been defined for the customer or vendor in Customer Setup and Vendor Setup.

Note:  The Multiple Language button is not displayed on the Product Warehouse Product Setup - General view unless a default language is selected in SA Company Setup. This applies even if the language is English.
