Product Linking
All products that use this asset / part can be linked to a given asset. Click the 'View Products' button to open a dialogue that will allow you to create the links. The below example shows the asset linking dialogue.
Clicking an entry in the table grid will select that product as linked to the current asset. Clicking an already linked item will unselect / unlink that product. To narrow down the selection rage to a particular make of product, use the 'Make' drop down list to limit the grid to that particular make.
Assemblies
An assembly is a method of grouping several assets into one asset. This is useful for pricing up a particular group, or 'Assembly' of parts into a single asset. Click the 'View Assets' button to open the dialogue. The below example shows the open dialogue with 2 assets already selected.
Use the drop down list to select additional assets to be added to the table.

Markup
Markup determines how the retail price is calculated. Workforce Manager allows 2 tiers of pricing. The low price would indicate the lowest price this item would be sold for, the high price being the highest price it would be sold. E.G. A bulk purchaser may buy at preferential rates whereas someone buying an individual part may pay a higher price. If this does not apply to your business type, simply add the same markup in both instances.
| Fixed Low: |
Adds a fixed value amount to the 'Buy price' to determine the retail price.
|
| Percent Low: |
Adds 'x' percent to the 'Buy price' to determine the retail price. (if a 'Fixed Low' value has also been entered, the Percent Low price will override this.)
|
| Fixed High: |
Adds a fixed value amount to the 'Buy price' to determine the retail price.
|
| Percent High: |
Adds 'x' percent to the 'Buy price' to determine the retail price. (if a 'Fixed High' value has also been entered, the Percent High price will override this.) |
If you do not intend to use markup prices and only want to indicate the Retail Price. Enter your retail price into the 'Buy Price' field and do not enter any values for markup.
Stock Control
| Inventory Type: |

The greyed out values within the 'Stock Control' section are calculated automatically by the system based on current asset usage, van allocation and parts that are on order.
