Raw Materials

A Raw Material is any inventory input that is consumed to produce WIP or Finished Good.

Part Number

Required - Alpha Numeric
Syncs with QuickBooks - Inventory Item Name

Anything uniquely tracked in inventory needs it's own part number. Add your existing part numbers to this column of the upload sheet. If you will be creating new part numbers, keep them simple. Smart part numbers are not recommended.

Recommended Part Numbering Schema

• 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003...
• Keep it simple! Let the barcode scans do the thinking for you.
• If you need to go with logic in your part numbers (not recommended). Keep it basic; for example: "BCR006" is a better Part Number than "BOTTLE-CLEAR-6oz-R".
• Use the description and class fields to "hang" additional part details on to a basic part number.
