Once in the detailed view to add new parts just click "New" on the right hand toolbar.

 

Fill in the Part Name field and categories the part as well as giving it a description. You can set alert values in here for when stock levels run low.

 

To add parts to your inventory click on "ADD NEW PURCHASE" then fill in the details of the part purchases according to the Date, Vendor, Price and Quantity fields.

 

 

Date                 - The date of your purchase, without this the part will not show in your inventory

Vendor ID         - Who you purchased from

Price                - The cost of the item per pack/unit of measure

Inc Tax             - Check this box if the purchase price includes Tax

Per                   - The type of purchase, select from the drop down or add your own

# Pack              - The number of items in the pack/bag

Qty                   - The number of packs/bags purchased

Ship Cost         - The cost of shipping for that item.

 

The weighted average unit price of your purchases is used as the default setting to calculate the cost of your parts.

 

There are four options you may choose from to calculate your price preference by;

 

1. Weighted Average Unit Price:
   Total of all units purchased divided by total cost.
2. Average Unit Price:
   Average price of unit purchases divided by number of purchases.
3. Maximum Unit Price:
   The highest price you have paid for that part.
4. Most Recent Unit Price:
   The most recent purchase price for that part.

 

If you are working a lot with gold or other metals that regularly change their spot price this may be useful to ensure that you do not undercharge for your pieces when adding in the parts that you use to create a piece.

 

Note - If the price of a part does fluctuate dramatically we would recommend that you start a new listing for the part.
