Adding a new product record

When you add a product to your inventory, you must create two types of product records. You must first create a record in Product Setup. The information in this record pertains to all your warehouses. You must also create a record in Product Warehouse Product Setup for each warehouse that will stock the product.

Note: If you create a new Product Warehouse Product Setup record where no Product Setup record exists, but a Product Catalog Setup record does exist, you can use certain default values from the catalog record to automatically "move" the catalog product into the warehouse's inventory. The ability create a warehouse product this way is secured by the security option Catalog Stocking in IC in SA Operator Setup-Entry Options. If this field is set to Allow, you can create a Product Setup and Product Warehouse Product Setup record.

Select Product > Setup > Product.
Click New.
Specify the product number in the Product field.

The product number or ID can be numeric or alphabetic. You cannot use these special characters in the product number: & | ( ) ^ The Product field length defaults to 24 characters, but the field can be expanded to accommodate 50 characters using the Allow Expanded Product Length option in SA Administrator Options-Products-Defaults.
