How to enter items in the My Warehouse program. My warehouse. Working with item attributes

Warehouse allows you to create a range of goods required for work and manage the warehouse (receipts of goods to the warehouse or warehouses).

You can create any number of sections and subsections where you can place final products (spare parts, for example).

In the Item Catalog section in the Warehouse, you will see all the goods added to the item, the minimum price, cost, balance in the warehouse (in stock) and the number of goods in reserve (i.e., reserved for active work orders).

Product range

You can add sections, subsections and products, delete them and move them. Important: the system will not allow you to delete a category (section) if there are products in stock in this section.


Minimum price and cost of goods

The minimum price and cost of goods fields in the My Warehouse section are needed to calculate salaries for craftsmen (if they have a percentage of the sale of spare parts and materials for repairs).

When adding a new product to the product range, you set its cost and minimum price. The minimum price is the minimum price of a product for sale (sale) to a client within the framework of a work order. The system will not allow the master to sell the product or spare part below this set price under any circumstances (neither taking into account the client's discount, nor taking into account manual pricing).

In the screenshot below, we created the Bearing position with a cost of 80 rubles. (the price at which we purchased the goods to our warehouse) and the minimum selling price of 200 rubles. This means that the master can sell this product to a client at a price of 200 rubles. and higher (at your discretion).

How is the percentage of sales for salaries for craftsmen calculated?

Let’s say we have set up 50% of the profit from sales of any materials to motivate employees. The master will receive a percentage only from the difference between the cost of the goods and the final selling price. Let's compare two examples:

Master Sergei sold 1 bearing for 200 rubles. (the minimum possible price we set). In this case, he will receive (200-80)*0.5=60 rubles.

But master Ivan sold the same bearing for 600 rubles. (because Ivan is a brilliant salesman and knows how to persuade). In this case, Ivan already receives (600-80)*0.5=260 rubles.

Thus, the percentage of sales is calculated only from the profit from the sale. And the master is interested in selling the spare part at a higher price (especially if the client is aggressive and unfriendly), then his profit from the sale will be higher.


The percentage earned from the sale of goods will be taken into account in the employee's billing. You can always go to the section Employees - Billing - Employee's name to view all his accruals (for work or sales, with the specified order number).


Adding goods to the warehouse

Goods are loaded into the system using the Receipt to Warehouse button located in the right menu.

You can add the item name, purchase price and quantity of goods.

The name can be entered manually (the system will offer you options for existing products as soon as you start entering the name) or selected from the existing catalog by clicking on the folder icon to the right of the name. After adding the received parts, click on the “Add without invoice” button. The goods will be successfully registered at the specified warehouse.


Mass markup of goods upon arrival at the warehouse

When arriving at the warehouse, you can automatically set a mass markup for all products. The markup on the cost of selling all parts is calculated using the following formula:

"Purchase price" + [Value] (Percentage or amount) = Selling cost.

Types of addition to the purchase price:

  • percentage (for example, 45% can be added to the purchase cost)
  • amount (for example, you can add 1000 rubles to the purchase price)


Important: do not forget to select the supplier and warehouse where the goods were received at the top of the screen. The system will not allow you to add products to the system if you have not specified a supplier or warehouse. You can select them from the existing list or add new ones.


It is also possible to import warehouse categories and items from Excel into Auto iDirector (via a CSV file).

There is an import option “only new”: in this case, the import creates only new categories and items of the product catalog in the warehouse, old products are not modified.

The import function is available only to a user with "General Director" rights.

To import, go to the section WAREHOUSE - RECEIPT TO WAREHOUSE - IMPORT FROM EXCEL.

In the section that opens, indicate the category of imported goods, warehouse for receipt, supplier, comments (if any) and upload the file from your computer.

Warehouses

You can create, edit and delete your warehouses.

List of operations

In the "List of Operations" section you can see all operations related to the movement of goods from the warehouse and to the warehouse. The system will show you how many goods arrived at the warehouse and were written off, the total cost, the document (i.e., under which purchase order the spare parts were written off) and the supplier.


How to write off or move all items from the warehouse?

There are situations when you need to write off all positions from a warehouse (if you liquidate it and delete it from CRM Auto iDirector, for example) or move it to another warehouse. To do this, in the “Warehouse” - “Movement of goods” section there is a button “Select everything from the warehouse”. When you click on it, all available items in the warehouse will be automatically written off or added to another warehouse (this option is selected in the "Replenishment warehouse" list).


", based on the universal platform "1C:Enterprise 8", provides the ability to work with both different units of measurement and packaging. This is a very important option, since products are often marketed in packaging containing a certain number of units of goods, and they need to be sold individually.

To do this, the program implements the ability to register goods immediately in packages: the software can independently convert everything into the required units of measurement. To take advantage of this convenient feature, you will first need to activate it in the settings, while simultaneously adding information about the types of packaging used to the database.

Algorithm of actions

In the “Administration” section, select the item settings item.

A window will open - activate the “Item Packaging” item in it. After activating it, the field we need will appear in the item settings.

Important!

Before entering information about the packaging, you need to check the presence of all the units of measurement necessary for the work in the directory. Products can be sold by weight, by the piece, by the meter, in sets and in other ways. Therefore, the packaging itself becomes a kind of unit of measurement, which means that it must also be present in the corresponding directory (all directories in “Retail” are located in the regulatory and reference information section).

Go to this section and select the reference book of units of measurement (group “Nomenclature”). It contains the most necessary types of units of measurement:

  • meters
  • kilograms
  • Cubic Meters
  • pieces

You can add an additional view there in 2 ways:

  • creating a new unit yourself
  • use of OKEI (All-Russian Classifier of Units of Measurement)

The latter is preferable to avoid confusion. In addition, OKEI is pre-installed in the system.

Working with the classifier

It is quite extensive, and not all positions in it are related to trading. To quickly find the required unit, we begin to enter its name from the keyboard. The software will immediately suggest a suitable option. In this case, the input field will be absent at first, but will appear immediately as soon as we start typing the word. When a suitable unit appears, mark it and click “OK”.

We also open the card of the new item and see what details it has. "1C: Retail" supports 2 types of item sets:

  • individual- is activated when each of its positions uses its own type of packaging;
  • general- involves the use of one type of packaging for a group of goods.

If different categories of goods in similar packaging are received for sale, it is necessary that when they arrive, the program itself can calculate how many units of goods have arrived at the warehouse.

Further actions

Although the change unit “Packaging” has been added to the database, the software cannot yet apply it, since it is not known how many and what specific units of the item are present in each of the packages. In order for the configuration to be able to account for goods accordingly, we need to indicate which packaging and for which products we will use. For this purpose, you will have to create the required sets of packaging.

First, open the directory of the same name. Now we need to start creating a new set: we will indicate its name, the unit of measurement in which the nomenclature will be taken into account, for which the packaging of the new set will be used. Let, for example, these be things. We fill in these fields, go to setting up packages and adding a new one.

In the package creation window that appears, you need to specify its type and the number of product units included in it. “Name” will be filled in automatically, based on the configured settings. Just below there are 2 more fields, where the weight of the package with the goods (gross) and volume (in cubic meters) are indicated.

Next, we add to the set the packaging with the number of units of goods in the same way. Now the created set of packages can already be assigned to an item during its creation or immediately at the item type level. We create the required item with individual characteristics, for which the set we created will be used by default.

First, let's create a new type, then on the default values ​​tab, select a set of packages for our item. Next, the program will automatically substitute pieces as a unit of measurement (in our example), since the set we have chosen must be completed individually.

Now we simply indicate the VAT rate for the product and select a product group for automatic distribution of the product. These settings, in principle, can be set later, when creating item items, however, if you specify them at this stage, the item card will be filled in automatically in the future.

After saving a created or modified item type, its settings will be automatically protected from editing, but the updated parameters of the packaging set belonging to the item will still be applied to it, which is very convenient. That is, if we subsequently have goods in different quantities in packages, we only need to add one more package to the set. In order to accept products in such packaging in the future, you will not need to change the item settings.

Directory "Nomenclature" V 1C Accounting Enterprise 8 has a much wider application than the same reference book in Accounting version 7.7.

Let's look at it in detail using an example 1C Accounting 8 edition 3.0.

In the "eight" this directory is used to store information about all inventory items and services enterprises. Unlike version 7.7, in which each type of inventory had its own directory, here all information is stored in a common directory in different groups.

This directory stores information about materials, products, semi-finished products, containers, equipment, goods, services, workwear and special equipment.

Find reference book "Nomenclature" You can go to the accounting section “Nomenclature and Warehouse” by clicking on the “Nomenclature” hyperlink. The directory list form will open.

The directory has a multi-level hierarchical structure. By default, it already contains groups for the types of inventory items for which it is intended to store information, but the user can also create their own groups.

When you create a group, you can go straight to for that group.

Let's take a closer look at the directory details when entering a new element.

The required details are the short name of the item and the unit of measurement of the item. Moreover, when you enter a new directory item, the item item is filled in automatically. The remaining details can be left blank, but this will affect the automatic completion of documents when selecting this directory element.

The “Group” attribute contains the directory group to which this element belongs. By default, directory groups " Nomenclature" are types of inventory items. By default, settings are made in the system for item groups specified in advance inventory accounts, so if you enter a directory element outside the existing groups or in the wrong group, you should be prepared to incorrectly fill out the accounting accounts in the receipt and sales documents when using this directory element.

In the “Full name” attribute, you can specify the name of the item as it will be printed in documents. By default, the full name duplicates the short name after it is entered.

The “Service” flag is checked if this item of the nomenclature relates to services (that the organization provides or that third parties provide to our organization). To reflect the receipt or sale of services in the program, special tabular parts are provided in the documents, and the system will not allow the receipt of services to be reflected in the “Goods” tabular part.

In the “Manufacturer” attribute, if necessary, you can indicate the manufacturer of the product (material, equipment) by entering it in the “Counterparties” directory and selecting it in the attribute.

The “Article” attribute indicates the article number of the product. It can be used in printed document forms if configured appropriately.

The unit of measurement of the nomenclature is selected from the reference book “Classifier of units of measurement”. The default value is automatically set to "piece". It can be changed if necessary.

The “VAT” detail is filled in with the default VAT rate and this value is inserted into receipt and sales documents.

The “Nomenclature group” attribute is filled in with the value from the “Nomenclature groups” reference book and is used when accounting for the costs of production and sale of items, as well as when determining revenue from the sale of products, goods, and services. Nomenclature group should not be confused with the “Nomenclature” directory group - this is the most important section of analytics in 1C Accounting, and there will be a separate article about this. The value of this attribute is substituted into the implementation documents.

The next group of details is filled in only for imported goods and is used for substitution in receipt documents and invoices.

  • The “Importer” detail is selected from the “Counterparties” directory.
  • The “Country of Origin” attribute is selected from the “Countries of the World” classifier
  • The “GTD” detail is filled in with the number of the cargo customs declaration from the corresponding directory.

The details “Cost Item” and “Specification” are used to automatically include in documents the transfer of materials and semi-finished products into production. The cost item is selected from the “Cost Items” directory; the specification is the main specification of the item from the “Specifications” directory.

On the left in the form of the “Nomenclature” directory element there is a navigation panel for this element.

The panel elements relate to different types of inventory items and therefore are not all used at the same time.

For example, the item “Counter output” opens the information register “Counter output of products, services”, which is intended for setting up rules for calculating the cost of counter output of products and services and writing them off for own needs.

The “Use Purposes” item opens the “Use Purposes” directory. It is designed to store information about

The “Rules for determining accounting accounts” item opens a list of rules configured in, to which this item of nomenclature falls.

You can enter a new rule for determining accounting accounts for this element by selecting the item “ Item accounting accounts».

The “Information on alcoholic products” item opens the “Information on alcoholic products” register, which is filled out only for items that are alcoholic products and serves to fill out a declaration on the volume of retail sales of alcoholic and alcohol-containing products.

The “Specifications” item opens a list of specifications for a given item and is used for the type of inventory items – products, self-made semi-finished products, services.

In the item “Item prices” you can specify all types of current prices for a given directory element. By clicking on the “Write prices” button, a “Setting item prices” document is created for each type of price for the date specified in the “Get/set prices for date” attribute. By clicking on a cell with a link to a document, you can activate the row and use the document view button.

When entering documents daily, an accountant can significantly facilitate the process of entering invoices if he uses product selection mechanism from the reference book, which is written about in detail.

Exporting products from a store to Excel

Let's look at an example of how to add/update a product in an online store via Excel using the Excel import/export module.

For example, let's add a new product, Unicorn Horn, to the Horns category that costs $35, and change the existing product, Moose Horns.

First of all, we need to download the existing price list from the store for further work with it in the program.

In order to download the price list, click the Export tab, select Full download and click the Create file button - fig. 3.

You will be asked - What should you do with this file?, select Save the file to disk and click the Ok button - fig. 4, select any folder on the disk and save the file, do not forget in which folder you saved the file.

Then open the file we saved (menu File - Open) - fig. 6.

In the Encoding option, select Unicode (UTF8), in the Separator option, uncheck the “Tabulator” and put it on “Semicolon” ​​- fig. 8.

Set each of these four columns to "Text" type - fig. 10.

Only for these four columns, do not touch the remaining columns; to select a column, you need to left-click on its name. Use the bottom scroll bar to navigate - fig. eleven.

Rice. 12 - the v_products_price column is not highlighted.

Rice. 13 - v_products_price column is highlighted.

Editing products

Let's change the name of the product from Moose Antlers to Updated Moose Antlers. To do this, in the v_products_name column, change the Moose Antlers cell - fig. 16.

On the updated moose antlers - fig. 17. We only changed the name of the product, but you can change any fields; read the description of the fields above.

The product Moose Horns has been changed, now we will add a new product Unicorn Horn

Adding a new product

To add a new product, we need to fill in the empty free line after the last filled line (in this example, line No. 4 - Fig. 18) with data about the new product.

We have already read the description of all the columns and know that the following columns must be filled in (i.e. this is a mandatory minimum that must be filled in in any case, otherwise the product will not be added to the store, or will be added incorrectly):

    v_products_model

    This indicates how many units of the product are in stock. If you don’t need to control the quantity of goods in the warehouse, just enter, for example, 100,000 and that’s it. We assume that there is an unlimited quantity of goods, we write 100,000

Now save the file by selecting the menu File - Save - fig. 19.

That's it, your file with the updated price list has been successfully saved, now you need to upload the updated price list to the store.

Importing products from Excel to the store

To do this, go to the admin panel of the online store, to the Excel import/export module page - fig. 24.

Opposite the Import field, click the Browse button - fig. 25.

Select the file with the updated price list (in this example it is EP2011May20-1806.csv, please note that files with the xls extension cannot be loaded through this module, only Text files (delimited by semicolons) and then click the Import button - Fig. 26.

Or a new product has been added (Product added) to the store - fig. 28 if it was not in the store before.

Removing products

You also have the opportunity to remove products from the store using this module. Let's delete the newly created product Unicorn Horn

We unload goods from the store (read a detailed description of how to do this above), open the file in Excel. We find the v_status column, it is located almost at the very end on the right. And opposite the product Unicorn Horn we write in this column the word Delete (translated from English it means to delete) - fig. 29.

Save the file and upload the file to the online store (read a detailed description of how to do this above). That's it, the product has been removed from the store - fig. thirty.

Working with item attributes

Let's say we have a product called Socks and there are different colors for this product.

Black socks, white socks, blue socks.

So, in order not to add three separate products (after all, in fact, these are one product, just different colors) and there are product attributes. We will simply add three attributes to the Socks product: Black, White, Blue.

Let's take a closer look at how to do this:

Creating new item attributes

To create product attributes in an online store, you first need to log into the Administrator of the online store - fig. 1.

Attributes are managed in three sections: Admin - Catalog - Attributes - Names, Attributes - Values, Attributes - Installation - fig. 2.

A product attribute consists of two parts: Attribute Name and Attribute Value. Knowing that in our example we need to create a color attribute, we create the Color attribute.

Go to the Admin section - Catalog - Attributes - Names - fig. 3.

The attribute creation page looks like this - Fig. 4.

To create a new Color attribute, enter a name, select the Dropdown type (we’ll talk more about attribute types below) and click the Add button - fig. 5.

By clicking the Add button we can see that the Color attribute has been added to the list - Fig. 6.

Now let's add values ​​for the newly created Color attribute.

Values ​​for attributes are created in the Admin Panel - Catalog - Attributes - Values ​​- fig. 7.

We went to the page for creating attribute values ​​- fig. 8.

I already wrote above that we will create the colors Black, White and Blue.

Let's create these values.

To do this, in the Attribute Name option, select the Color attribute in the drop-down list, enter Black in the Attribute Value text box and click the Add button - fig. 9. You can also provide a description for the attribute value if needed, i.e. provide any additional information.

By clicking the Add button, we can see that the Black attribute value has been added to the list - Fig. 10.
