Entering Finished Goods Information (WFGD)

Overview: A finished good is an item that requires assembly prior to picking and packing and is comprised of one or more component items that may also be sold individually, or of raw materials that are used only as components of a finished good. An item record must exist for each component item, including raw materials (so that you can track inventory and usage).

When an Order Entry operator places an order for a finished good, the components of the finished good do not appear on the Order Entry screen, only the finished good item.

Unit demand (units ordered) is tracked at the finished goods level. Dollar demand is tracked at the finished goods level. For example: the finished good is a sketch kit and its component items are 1 drawing pad, 3 charcoal pencils and 1 erasure. A customer orders the sketch kit for $20.00. Units ordered for the finished good increase by 1, and dollars ordered increase for the finished good by $20.00.
