Next free codes

For creating a new item in the ERP. Tap a code to copy it. Each follows the highest number ever used in its family, including removed items, so numbers are never reused. Capture new items here first, so this list stays complete.

For the dictionary

"Copy all rows" copies tab-separated lines. Paste straight into the dictionary's Item Capture tab, columns A to Q.

Photos

Photos are copied to the web bucket automatically each time an item is saved. Start afresh empties the bucket and republishes every photo held here, under the same file names, so existing links keep working. Use it once to clean up, or if the bucket ever drifts. The links CSV gives each item code its image address for the ERP import.

Pricing

Fill SA costs gives every sub-assembly that has none a placeholder cost picked at random between those two figures, rounded to the nearest thousand and split 80% materials, 20% labour. These are guesses with nothing behind them: they are tagged as estimates, they feed BOM rollups and opening stock value, and they should be replaced as real figures are measured. Items that already have a cost are skipped.

Cost from price assumes the margin you typed is what you already make, and works the production cost backwards from the selling price, split 80% materials and 20% labour. A starting figure for every finished good without waiting on the floor. Estimated costs show a dashed outline on the card and read Estimated from price in the CSV, and that clears the moment someone enters a real figure. Price from cost goes the other way: it works out what each finished good would sell for at that margin, using its production cost. Shows you the list first and changes nothing until you choose. Remember the cost figure has no overhead in it, so treat the result as a floor, not a price list.

Backup & transfer

The session file carries everything in one file: items, photos and code counters. Copy it to a flash disk to move work between computers, or keep it as a backup. Importing adds its items here; duplicate codes are skipped.

Start a new pass

Both follow the class filter and search above, so switch to FG, SA or RM first to work on just those. Marking treats everything shown as covered; unmarking clears the ticks so the team can walk the catalogue again for something new: storage areas, costs, photos. Nothing else about an item changes. It queues one update per item, so on a slow connection give it a minute to finish syncing.

Health check

Looks for the same item code appearing more than once. Duplicates were created by an older fault where tapping Save twice pushed the item again. Shows both copies side by side with what each holds so you can keep the fuller one.

Maintenance

Both of these change or remove data. Export a session file first.
