Viewing the Stock Items List

Background

The stock items list layout represents the repository of all stock items that exist within strokeone.

Examples of types of Stock Items are:-

Blank Garments
Decorated Garments
Blank Screens
Screen frames
Inks
Consumables [ emulsions, textiles, cleaning materials]
Non Physical items - intangibles [such as periodic service / external maintenance costs]

Each unique stock item has a SKU. Stock item uniqueness is made up from the value combination of several key attributes on the actual item.

The number of key attributes varies by the type of the stock item.

For example, a blank garment is differentiated by seven attributes [Owner, Brand, Type, Style, Colour, Trim, Size, Gender, whereas a Blank Screen only has two [Mesh, Size]]

Stock list items are grouped within the repository by SKU.
