This tab contains a single field, which is where you can write a description of the product. If you prefer to work in HTML, or if someone has given you an HTML file, you can use the Design and HTML tabs at the bottom of the screen to switch between formatted and HTML text.
Alternate IDs tab
Each product can have an unlimited number of alternate product codes. Those can include:
- Suppliers codes,
- Inner (product) bar codes,
- Outer (box) bar codes.
Each alternate product code can be a different unit. For example an alternate product code that is a product bar code can be one unit of the product. An outer bar code might be a whole box worth.
Particularly useful for receipting and sales is having an outer bar code with a different quantity to the inner barcode. Then you can receive or sell either the whole box or one item in the box with a single bar code scan.
Shows alternate IDs by which the product is known. If there’s been a merge, the old ID will be shown here.
