Product SKU, GTIN & Inventory

While DecoNetwork handles SKU codes and GTIN automatically you may wish to modify these to suit your business needs. Additionally, inventory control is set for the product on this screen. Inventory control will generate purchase orders for stock in a low-level state as determined by your settings. Low stock level warnings are also issued as emails to team members in the Admin and Purchasing roles.
