Stock groups (V)
Stock groups organise items by category or product line, so you can filter Inventory Items by group and see the value tied up in each.
- Press V on the Gateway or go to Masters Setup → Stock Groups. The Hierarchy panel lists existing groups.
- Click Create Group, enter the Name (for example Door Handles or Raw Material) and choose Under (Parent Group), or leave it at Primary (top level).
- Click Save Group.
Units of measure (Q)
Units must use the GST UQC symbols because GSTR-1's HSN Summary reports quantity by UQC.
- Press Q on the Gateway or go to Masters Setup → Units of Measure. Click Create Unit.
- Symbol (UQC): search the GST standard list and pick one, for example BAG, BOX, BTL, KGS, LTR, MTR, NOS, PCS or SET. The symbol is always 3 characters.
- Decimal Places: 3 for weights and volumes (KGS, LTR), 0 for countable units (BOX, PCS).
- Formal Name fills in from the symbol; it must be unique.
- Press Alt+S or click Save Unit. Reset Form (Alt+N) clears it; Cancel (Esc) closes.
Alternate units
If you buy in one unit and sell in another (buy in BOX, sell in PCS), set both on the stock item with a Conversion Factor. Stock is tracked in the primary unit.
Create units before items. An item's unit cannot be a free-text value; it must come from this list.
