In this article, you can read about Products, the foundation of the Economy module in RecMan.
In order to invoice, you need to have what we call Products. Creating orders and salary articles for hour recording also requires a product to be in place. You can find your products under Economy -> Products.
A product must contain a name and a product number, and the rest are not mandatory. Remember that all salary items and orders must be connected to a product. If you wish to create a salary article, at least one product must exist.
The different fields when creating a product are the following:
| Product number | An internal number that is set automatically by the system. You may change it. It is not advised to change after this product has been invoiced or has work. |
| Name | The name of the product; the field is mandatory. |
| VAT | A value-added tax. |
| Quantity | The standard amount when selecting this product upon creating an order; may be changed. |
| Price | The standard price when selecting this product upon creating an order; may be changed. |
| Credit account | Credit account number, used in conjunction with external accounting systems. |
| Debit account | Debit account number, used in conjunction with external accounting systems. |
| VAT code | VAT code, used in conjunction with external accounting systems. |
| Type | Defines the type of product; is used for reference in several reports. |
| Department no. | You can here add a department number if needed when exporting your invoices. |
All fields may be changed later.
VAT-accounts
Some external accounting systems require a VAT-account number to be defined before an export is performed. This is created at the very bottom of the page, and you may have more than one at a time. Here you define what VAT account is to be used.
Products groups
You may add custom product groups. When this is done, a new field will appear in the pop-up window for the creation or editing of the product.
