Full Product - A full product is where you can create a build list for a large item which is made up of several components. You can save the unique serial numbers against the full product and also against the components that make up the full product in the kitting list button
Limited Product - This is the standard for the majority of stationery items, no unique trace is kept apart from the customers it is sold to. In stock this appears as one entry for the total quantity bought and is only split once allocated.
Consumable Product - This is a product where it will never go for purchasing as with all other products, so when sold if there is none in stock the system will automatically add double the quantity required to allow the requirement to be automatically allocated. Depending on the type of product, dealers may need to keep an eye on this so that they do not keep the product live when no stock exists. This is mostly for shop environments whereby for example they sell pens in assorted colors and rather than have several different codes for each color, just lump them as one product at one price(normally this would also be a till favorite as well).
Part /Component - This works the same way as Limited Products but is normally for when they are using the product to create another one. There is a system key in the Prima Administration (batch / stock keys) which controls whether these items can be placed on to Sales Orders or Quotes. An example of this is would be all parts to build a PC where the dealer makes their own kits for sale to the public. You can add these components in a build list within a 'Full Product'
Non-Stock Product - A 'Non-Stock Product' will not need to be purchased and will not show on the packing slip (despatch note). It will retain the cost price set by the user in the sales order and upon authorization of the sales order no purchase line is produced.
Discontinued - Speaks for itself- is no longer a product that is either stocked or sold.
