Purchase cost
The purchase cost on a product cam be seen as a form of standard cost. It can be used for purchase pricing and journal entry creation, but only will be used in certain situations.
- Purchase pricing: ParagonERP uses a hierarchy to determine purchase pricing. It will first search for a vendor product price configuration, and if not found it will use the Purchase cost to set a price on a purchase order.
- Valuation: ParagonERP by default uses FIFO costing. It will valuate stock and create journal entries with the FIFIO values on purchase orders and inventory tranactions.
However in case no purchase price exist , or no inventory value has been set the system will use the purchase price as cost in valuation and journal entry creation.
Examples are:- The inventory quantity of a product is 0 and a stock adjustment is made: ParagonERP will use the purchase cost.
- A non-stock item is used for labour services. The purchase cost will be used for costing.
Product numbering
- Product Code A generic internal identifier used by a company to track and categorize products within their own system and towards their customers. It's typically created according to the company's own naming conventions. This code is only meaningful within that specific organization.
- SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) An internal alphanumeric code assigned by a retailer or business to track inventory.
The difference between a Product Code and an SKU could be that a Product Code describes a Product (e.g. a t-shirt style x) and a SKU is the size/colour variant. - EAN (European Article Number) A standardized barcode system used internationally for identifying products at point of sale. EAN-13 is the most common format with 13 digits. These are assigned by GS1, and are unique across all companies globally.
- UPC (Universal Product Code) A standardized barcode system primarily used in North America, typically consisting of 12 digits (UPC-A). Like EAN, these are assigned by GS1 and are globally unique identifiers for products. UPCs serve the same purpose as EANs but in a different regional format.
ParagonWMS can handle all SKU, EAN and UPC for scanning. Product code will be added.

Trigger Product
A product has 1 or more Sales channels and an interface select date supporting integration with external applications. The sales channel will contain all applications the customer is integrated with, while the interface select date is used as a trigger to send a new or changed customer to an external application.
If any of the following fields are modified, the interface select date is set. This will trigger a transfer of the product to an external application like SimpleSimon.
