About Products
The Products TSI comprises a list of all available products in your organization that can be requested and purchased.
In Planon ProCenter, you can define purchase information for a product. The purchase information includes the vendor, purchase price and delivery terms of the product. You can define one or more vendors (purchase information) for a product.
In the case of non-stock items, every product in the catalog must be linked to a purchasable product. If a product is a stock item, you must link it to one or more distribution points.
Products also allows you to maintain a product history and purchase information history of the items.
Maintaining a product catalog is essential in the Materials Management arena of an organization.
Demand for a product arises, when users request it via a product requisition.
If the requested product is a non-stock item, it must be ordered, via a purchase order based on a purchase suggestion.
If the product is a stock item, it is obtained from a distribution point via a stock request.
These items can be issued from stock to a requestor.
