This help article describes how Netvisor's extended product management assists in managing more demanding product, stock, and price information. Extended product management is available in the Professional and Premium packages. It cannot be turned off once it has been activated.

CONTENTS

Extended product management is intended for companies with more demanding product, stock, and price information management needs. We have added Extended product management as part of the Professional package. Extended product management will be available in all new Professional packages, as well as if a customer upgrades from a smaller package to Professional. Existing Professional customers can access Extended product management by contacting our customer support. Once Extended product management is activated, it cannot be turned off. The Service is also included in the Premium package. 

Netvisor's extended product management brings

  • Advanced pricing
  • Creation of price groups
  • Customer-specific prices and coefficients
  • Flexible pricing management

Impact of extended product management on importing sales invoices from the interface

The unit information of sales invoice products is retrieved directly from Netvisor. If sales invoices are imported into Netvisor via integration and the sales invoice message contains product unit information, this unit information from the invoice message is not used on the invoice; instead, the unit is retrieved from the product in Netvisor.

Content of extended product management

Language support

In extended product management, the most important information can be stored not only in Finnish but also in English and Swedish. Language versions are considered in the user's interface language, as well as in order and invoice handling according to customer and supplier language settings.

Information supporting language versioning includes:

  • product name
  • product description
  • product group
  • grouping basis
  • unit
  • feature name, its values, and value sets

Structural product

  • The product can have several different features, such as color or size
  • Different features of the product can be used to produce models according to the features, such as:
  • red L, blue XL
  • Features can affect the final price of the model with a sum change or coefficient

Efficient management of sub products

  • A structural product can be composed of other product names, referred to here as sub products, which are used in stock situation calculation, stock transaction automation, and can also be used in task planning of the manufacturing process
  • Sub products can be set to affect the final price of the composed product with a sum change

Setting additional information for the product

  • Barcode handling, where Netvisor supports the following standards:
    • In 1D format, as a linear barcode:
      • EAN8
      • EAN13
      • EAN13 + EAN2
      • EAN13 + EAN5
      • Code128
  • Shelf location in stock management
  • Setting images for the main product and model
  • Defining customer's own additional information fields (if CRM is in use)
  • Floating number, date, text field, or list information can be defined for the product, based on which products can be grouped and searched
  • Multiple hierarchical product groups can be defined for the product
  • The product can have several different versions
  • Similar and related products

Pricing possibilities

  • Products or models can be priced product- and customer-specifically either by defining a coefficient or by defining a euro amount final price

Order and invoice handling

  • Structural products can be searched and handled based on the feature map
  • Products can be presented concisely by unit pricing or main products on orders or invoices
  • Orders and invoices have the possibility for mass entry of EAN barcode products with barcodes

Product listing handling

  • An interactive product search based on the online store model has been made in the product listing view, allowing the user to group the listing by product groups with desired product groups
  • Product listing includes process basket-specific mass functions and comprehensive handling and reporting possibilities of the products themselves, including sub product diagrams and stock reporting

Stock management (only if Premium package is in use)

  • Sub product stock transactions are automated in stock management in connection with the use and handling of composed products
  • Inventory changes can be made in the process basket as a mass by stock by directly entering the inventoried amount, with the system calculating the stock change in stock bookkeeping on behalf of the user
  • In addition to stock definition, a product location in stock can be defined for the product
  • Stock reporting is seen in the product listing view in real-time, where balances can be displayed by stock
  • In addition to stock definition, a product location in stock can be defined for the product
  • Additionally, directing stock replenishment is possible through the product listing by utilizing product alert limit reporting
