Product records, recipe links, pricing, labels and shipments
Master definition of a production output or sellable product
A product record is the master definition for an item used in sales, production or shipments. It contains code, name, class, unit, barcode, sales price, tax and status.
The record is not a physical inventory lot. Production output or controlled stock movements create inventory, while the product record defines identity, pricing and label or document presentation.
Tip: Use the product's business code in the interface rather than exposing a technical UUID.
Linking a product to a recipe defines the materials, semi-finished products, packaging and cost items required for production.
A product may exist for catalog or sales purposes without a recipe, but production planning and recipe costing require the link.
How product records affect operational screens
Tax-exclusive and tax-inclusive product prices should remain clearly distinguished in orders, shipments, proposals and reports. The inclusive price represents the customer total, while the exclusive price supports cost and margin analysis.
Product barcode and product details work with label management. Templates may be assigned by product or customer.
Current label designs support static text and EAN-13. Dynamic lot, date and test fields are planned and must not be treated as available.
Order lines select a product record. Shipment lines may come from an order or be added by an authorized user.
Shipment details must show which product, quantity and lot is shipped, in addition to carrier, document and address information.
Attention: Shipment affects inventory, quality and traceability. Lots pending quality control or rejected must not be released for shipment.
