A. LU Introduction (LU-SU2102)
Products lists and sub lists are very useful to automate tasks. They are useful when the same products are regularly ordered in different quantities. A product list (and sublist) means that we already have an outline of the products needed as a template, which will speed up the process for creating the order.
A product list can be used to define the products required by a mission, project or a particular activity; they can also be used to list products that a supplier may be able to provide. Lists are always related to a warehouse and a location optionally can be linked to a supplier or customer.
Lists which are marked as Standard will be synchronised to all instance levels below. Any products added or removed from existing listed will also update the relevant lists below via synch, and will appear in the Old Codes tab of the Product List.
A sub-list has to be linked to a list, therefore at the time of choosing products for a sub-list, only those products appearing in the parent list will be available. For example: let’s imagine that an MSF project (project 01) contains 3 activities (OPD, Vaccination and Nutrition). By creating a list for project 01 and 3 sub-lists for each of the activities, the user will be able to benefit from using UniField tools such replenishment, forecasting, re-ordering and more.
