Filtering/Sorting Items

Navigating and finding specific inventory items is a fundamental part of managing your inventory. We can easily find the desired item by using the provided filtering and sorting tools on the SKU page.

We can filter our inventory item by using the two menu bars displayed at the top of the SKU page.

The topmost section defines what status we wish to view (You can view what each status means in the Item Category Definitions section). The second section displayed above allows you to filter what item type you wish to see. By using both of these tools together you can easily narrow down the list items displayed on screen.

Creating New Items

Creating new inventory items is an easy task. To start, navigate to the appropriate SKU page Rx-Inventory → SKUs. From here to start the process we simply need to click on the Create button located near the top of the page

Now that we’ve clicked on the create button, you will be redirected to the inventory item creation page. From here we can enter values to all the relevant fields that are part of an item. Once this step is complete simply hit the Create button located at the bottom of the page and your new item will appear!

Other Details

Aside from the general frame-specific fields, you can also manage other details about the frame item in the Other Details section. In this area, you are able to set details such as status, trace reorder method, and more. You can also see a preview of the shape of the trace. Additionally, if a trace is selected, the A, B, and ED will be populated with values from the trace and these fields become uneditable.

To search for a trace shape from your Rx-Universe system you would need to start typing the name of the trace and all the related traces will start populating in the dropdown.

See the definition of these columns here.

Generating UPC

You are able to generate a UPC when creating or updating an SKU. You can set up the starting sequence in the Settings → Configuration page.

To generate a UPC, you can just click on the barcode icon on the right side of the UPC field.

Updating Existing Items

To update the fields on an existing item we simply have to navigate to the SKU page (Rx-Inventory → SKUs) and click on the line item (or the pencil on the right hand side of the line) to open up the modification menu.

Once we’re in the SKU item modification page, we can make any changes we need to by simple clicking on the field and changing its values. Once we’ve made all our modifications simply click the Update button located at the bottom of the page.
