Item Registry - Fixed Section
Introduction: Product identification and related parts
The item registry of Fluentis plays a crucial role in managing and organizing information related to a company’s items. It acts as a central database where the details of each product are recorded and updated, allowing for a clear and systematic view of inventories, costs, and warehouse movements.
The information contained in the item registry includes identifying details such as the item code, description, unit of measure, and supplier information. Additionally, it is possible to enter data regarding prices, procurement policies, and batch management, facilitating daily operations of purchasing, selling, and logistics.
Thanks to this registry, companies can keep track of the status of items, automate processes such as restocking inventory, and obtain detailed reports for more effective purchasing planning. Furthermore, integration with other Fluentis modules allows for better coordination of warehouse activities, improving operational efficiency and contributing to more accurate and timely inventory management.
The process of creating a new item opens through the path:

The Item registry form will open, consisting of a section where the mandatory characteristics of the item will be defined and a lower section made up of several tabs that group the specific characteristics.
The fundamental and mandatory characteristics that each item must have and that we find in the first part of the form are: the Class (maximum 3 characters), the Code (maximum 50 characters), a brief Description, and the Units of Measure.
