Item tabs — all 12 tabs explained

1 minute

Every item and assembly detail page has 13 tabs. The General tab (documented separately) is the default. This page covers all remaining 12 tabs — each documented with the real data from Bottel Cap (v1.00, ACTIVE, code 040424).

Section 02

Used In tab

1 minute

The Used In tab shows the reverse BOM — every assembly that contains this item as a component, traced all the way to the top-level finished goods. Bottel Cap is not currently in any assembly's BOM.

Where used

Every assembly this part rolls up into — nested to the top-level finished goods

Not used in any assembly

This part isn't a component of any product's BOM.

ElementWhat it shows
Where used sectionLists every assembly that includes this part — nested by level so you can see the full chain. E.g. if Bottel Cap were in Biodegradable Cleaning Brush (GLC-001), which is itself in a packaging assembly, both would appear here. Empty for Bottel Cap.
"Not used in any assembly"Empty state — Bottel Cap (GLC-002-04) is not a component of any product's BOM. Compare with Carbon Fiber (PAN-23) which shows "Used In 9" in the Inventory list — its Used In tab would list all 9 assemblies.
ⓘ info icon (top-right)Opens an explanation of how the reverse BOM is calculated — nested to show sub-assembly chains, not just direct parents.

Section 03

Route tab

2 minutes

The Route tab shows the manufacturing route — the ordered sequence of operations needed to produce one unit. It is read-only here; edit it via Edit Item. Steps defined here are copied into new Works Orders as operation rows. Bottel Cap has 1 step: CNC.

"Changes here affect future WOs only"Important: editing the route does not update works orders already created. Only new WOs pick up the revised steps.

Section 04

Quality tab

History is the key tool for investigating negative stock

When Bottel Cap shows -7 total stock, the History tab tells you exactly what happened. Look for Despatched, QC Consume, Adjustment or Scrap movements with quantities that exceed Received or Produced movements. The container column shows where each movement happened, pinpointing which warehouse is causing the deficit.

Section 07

Allocations tab

2 minutes

The Allocations tab shows how stock is divided between total, allocated, reserved and available — and lists any active holds (manual stock locks). Bottel Cap has no active holds.

Allocated (0)0 — no units are earmarked for a specific sales order pick. When a pick list is confirmed, units move from Available into Allocated.
Reserved (0)0 — no units are soft-reserved for a works order or manufacturing run.
Available (0)0 — Total (−7) minus Allocated (0) minus Reserved (0) = −7, but Available is shown as 0 because negative stock cannot be "available". There is genuinely nothing free to sell or use.
Active Holds / + AllocateActive Holds lists any manual stock locks placed across all containers. The + Allocate button lets you place a manual hold — useful for reserving units for a specific customer or project outside the normal order process. No holds on Bottel Cap.
"No active holds"Empty state — all stock (or lack of it) for Bottel Cap is unencumbered and available for any order.

Section 08

Suppliers tab

Price (per ea)The per-unit price agreed with this supplier. Used on POs and for cost variance calculations on the Cost & valuation tab. The Standard Cost (£20.00) is well below the Preferred supplier price (£100.00) — this gap drives the large cost variance.

Cost & valuation tab

3 minutes

The Cost & valuation tab shows the financial picture: the weighted-average actual cost derived from real stock receipts, versus the standard cost typed at registration, and the resulting variance. For Bottel Cap the actual cost is significantly higher than the standard cost.

Cost & valuation — Standard vs actual cost and on-hand value

ACTIVE TAB: Cost & valuation
GeneralUsed InRouteQualityBarcodeHistoryAllocationsSuppliersTransactionsCost & valuationUnitsLifecycleSustainability
Actual cost is the Weighted average cost derived from your real stock receipts — what this item truly cost you, and the figure behind its COGS and on-hand value. Standard cost is the planning price on the item master. The variance is the gap between them.
On-hand value⊙ Weighted average

ElementWhat it shows
Value (Actual) — £1,487,294,911.70On-hand units × actual cost: 14,923,821 ea × £99.6591 = £1,487,294,911.70. This is the true inventory asset value on the ledger.
Value (Standard) — £298,476,420.00On-hand units × standard cost: 14,923,821 ea × £20.00 = £298,476,420.00. The planned value based on the item master price.
Variance — +£1,188,818,491.70Actual value minus standard value. A positive variance means the product cost more than planned. The large figure here is driven by the very high on-hand quantity (14.9M ea) and a £79.66/unit gap.
On Hand — 14,923,821 eaLedger net quantity — the total units the system believes exist. Note: this differs from the General tab's -7 because Cost & valuation uses the weighted average ledger which may include historic receipts before consumption adjustments.
Standard Cost — £20.00The cost entered on the item master at registration. Used as the benchmark for COGS planning and variance analysis.
Actual Cost — £99.6591The weighted average of all purchase receipts — the authoritative cost figure. Every time stock is received at a different price, this recalculates. For Bottel Cap the Preferred supplier charges £100/ea, giving an actual cost close to £99.66.
Per-Unit Variance — ↗ £79.6591Actual minus Standard per unit: £99.6591 − £20.00 = £79.6591. Every unit bought costs ~£79.66 more than the standard cost budget assumed.
COGS to Date — £303,583,279.89Total cost of all units consumed or despatched since the product was created — at the actual cost rate. This is the cumulative P&L impact of using Bottel Cap in production and sales.
Weighted average badgeConfirms the costing method — weighted average (also called WAVG). Each new receipt updates the running average cost. Alternative: standard cost (fixed). The method is set company-wide in Admin › Settings.
Update the Standard Cost when market prices change significantly

Bottel Cap's Standard Cost (£20.00) is far below the Actual Cost (£99.66). This creates a large unfavourable variance on every purchase. Review and update the Standard Cost via Edit Item to keep COGS reporting meaningful. The Actual Cost will always self-correct as new receipts arrive — you do not need to edit it manually.

Section 11

Units tab

Units of Measure

Stock, price and cost are kept in the base unit ea. Add alternate units to let this product be bought or sold in a different unit — the factor says how many ea one of that unit equals.

Base unit: eaAll stock counts, prices and costs are stored in ea (each). This cannot be changed after stock is received.
Alternate unit: tstAn alternate unit code — tst. The conversion factor is 1 tst = 25 ea, meaning if you buy 1 tst, the system adds 25 ea to stock.
1 Unit Equals1 tst → 25 ea — the conversion factor. When creating a purchase order in tst, the system converts quantities to ea automatically.
