Each commodity has certain inventory related settings associated with it that are on a per location basis. This list is where that information is stored. You normally edit this information in the commodity edit window, but you can open this list as a child window to the Commodities/Ingredients list window for viewing or printing purposes.
| Field | Display Speed | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Commodity Name | Normal | The name of the commodity these settings are for. |
| Location Name | Normal | The location these inventory settings apply to. |
| Maximum Inventory Capacity | Normal | If the commodity has a maximum capacity at the location, you can enter this value here. It is used in the Inventory Threshold window so you can see how full you are. If there isn't really a maximum capacity, it can be left at zero. |
| Inventory Threshold Value | Normal | This is a value you define as the threshold. Inventory reports can warn you when the amount of ingredient left is less than this threshold. |
| Inventory Days For Avg Usage | Normal | When inventory reports calculate how many days it will be until the inventory level is at the defined threshold, it will do this based on previous activity for the number of days in this field. For example, if this field was 7 days for silage, Fusion would look at the silage used in the last 7 days to decide how much was being used per day. It would then apply that calculation to figure out how many days, assuming the same usage pattern, until you hit the threshold. It usually makes sense for this to be a fairly low number (like 7 days) for ingredients that are used regularly and a higher number (like 30 or 60 days) for ingredients that are seldom used. |
| Markup Type | Normal | This field defines the markup method that Fusion will used when calculating the Bill At price based on the Cost price. Note that Fusion doesn't automatically do this on its own—pricing changes must always have human involvement. However, when using the Bulk Attribute Change window each month, you can ask Fusion to automatically apply a markup based on this setting. The possible values are None (no markup will automatically be applied), Percentage (the markup will be calculated as a percentage of the cost—see the next field), or Dollar (the markup will be a certain amount of dollars—see the next field). |
| Markup Value | Normal | If you have defined a markup for this ingredient at this location, this field will show the percentage or dollar markup, depending on which markup is used. |
This list can be a child window (or inlined report) for the following:
