  • The Products service tracks product inventory. Product inventory records track inventory purchases, inventory adjustments, inventory orders and reorders, and inventory levels. When a product requiring inventory is purchased through the Aptify Order Entry system, inventory levels are automatically adjusted. Products requiring inventory are housed in warehouses, which may or may not be physical storage areas. These warehouses can be arranged in a hierarchical fashion. For example, a main warehouse may contain several individual bins and these bins then become the warehouses from which inventory may be removed.

  • Pricing matrices store details about the product’s pricing scheme, such as duration of the price, discounts for customer types, and establishing quantity controls. Additional pricing rules can be configured for each individual product in Aptify.

  • For convenience, General Ledger (GL) accounts for products are inherited automatically from the product category level, yet they can be modified at either the product or product category level.

  • A product may have subcomponents, which, when combined, make up the named product (typically, this is a kit product). TheAssembly tab tracks information about these components. Conversely, the product may itself be a component of a larger product unit. The product may also have some optional related products that are available for sale. These are recorded and displayed under the Related Productstab.

  • If the Aptify e-Business Suite module is installed, products can collect and store certain information to display on the web. An option on the Web tab of each Products record controls determines if that product information appears on the e-Business website.
