Table Headers
The table is broken down into collapsible Super Category [1] tables (i.e. Beans, Legumes & Seeds). In each Super Category table there are Categories [2] (i.e Beans, Legumes, Nuts, Seeds, etc.) and if required Sub Categories [3], for example; Dairy Super Category has a Cheese Category, this can have two sub categories: Soft Cheese and Hard Cheese).
The table for each Super Category displays the following data:
- Code: Each stock item must have an individual Code/ID
- Stock Item: Description of the stock item (up to 30 characters)
- Pack Contents:g. 6x850g – there are 6 units in a pack, each weighing 850 grams
- Price (£): The price for a full pack or kg if the item is priced in kg
- Priced By: The choices are Pack or kg. Item priced by pack can only be purchased in whole packs. Split packs have to be set up as separate items
- Units/Pack: Packs are made up of a number of units, these are shown here. When doing a stocktake you can choose if part packs are described as a percentage of a full pack or as units
- Supplier: The supplier of the goods
- Selected: Checkboxes confirm if items are selected (Checked) or unselected (un-checked) for the Template
- Discontinued: Items are identified as discontinued and no longer available from the Supplier
- Category & Sub Category: Sub categories of the Super Category (e.g. Super Category = Fresh Produce, Category = Vegetables, Sub Category = Root & Tuberous)
