💡How to Add a Raw Material

Learn how to add raw materials to your inventory to keep track of what you have on hand for your manufacturing needs.

Steps

1. Click on "Inventory" from the side menu and click on "Raw Materials". This will take you to the Raw Materials page.

2. Click on the "Add Raw Material" button on the top right corner. This will take you to the Add Raw Material page.

3. Fill out the form:

   • Material Name: Enter your material name.

   • Description: Provide a brief description of the material.

   • Cost Price: Enter the cost price of the material.

   • Unit: Enter the unit of the material.

   • Quantity: Enter the quantity of material you have in stock.

   • Restock Level: Enter the quantity threshold at which you want to be notified for restocking.

4. Click on "Add Material" to add the material to your Raw Materials.

Hint

The quantity of the material should be based on how it is used. For instance, if you buy 10 boxes of bottles and each box contains 50 bottles, and you use the bottles individually, then the total quantity should be 500 bottles (not 10 boxes), with the unit being "pieces" instead of "boxes." Additionally, the cost price should be the cost for one piece, not one box.

FAQs

Can I add multiple raw materials at once?

No, you need to add raw materials individually. However, you can use the import feature for bulk additions.
