Manage Sampling in a Separate Season - Production (Inventory)

If you have different costs for raw materials and make costs from sampling to production, you might want to separate sample production from bulk production into separate seasons

The Inventory Module is an optional add-on. For more details contact us at HELLO ZEDONK

Create Season for Sampling

For more information on how to Create New Season

Follow regular process to create Products

Create Product Costings via bulk import or single entry

N.B. You can add multiple manufactures - maybe you use a different manufacturer for sampling or maybe you have different prices for sampling in your production factory

This is how it might look......

 

We have assigned two manufacturers to our sample product  

You have to assign one manufacturer to create the product and the second one can be added at any stage.

1. Add manufacturer

2. First Cost/Make Price for making samples - goes to costing and production order

3. Lead time for making samples

4. Notes re Minimums for this manufacturer

5. Internal comments - only for this product/manufacturer

You can add the production manufacturer with production price as well as Sampling Factory and sampling price

Can be useful for checking projected wholesale prices/margins etc.

N.B. The manufacturer ticked as default will be the one on any production orders you've created

You can flip between manufacturers/make prices on the costs page - to check overall costs/margins for your bulk
