#About Commodities

Gold, silver, fuel, FX — drives daily-rate pricing. This is a working page: a list or workspace where you find and act on records in BSuit ERP (Inventory & Warehouse). It is used by staff (internal users). What you can see and do depends on your role and permissions.

#How to open it

In BSuit ERP, open Inventory & Warehouse and choose “Commodities”, or go directly to the address /inventory-management/commodities.

#What you can do here

These controls are present in the page’s implementation. Whether you see a given one also depends on your permissions and on the data shown.

  1. Add new records — a form opens for the details.
  2. Change existing records.
  3. Delete records (you are asked to confirm).
  4. Bring records in from a file.
  5. Export what you see to a file.
  6. Print or save as PDF.
  7. Attach or upload files.
  8. Search within the page.
  9. Filter the data shown.
  10. Sort by a column.
  11. Page through long lists.
  12. Open dialogs or drawers for detail and confirmation.

#Fields

When you enter or change a commodity, these fields are on the form. Required fields must be completed before you can save. 1 of them are reference fields: you pick an existing record from another master rather than typing a value.

#Data stored for each record

The full list of 12 stored fields, including ones not shown on the form, is in the Commodity data reference.

#Where Commodities is used as a reference

Records from this master are picked in these other forms, so changing or deleting one can affect them:

#How to add a commodity

Steps follow this page’s form. You need permission to create records here.

  1. Open Inventory & Warehouse › Commodities from the menu.
  2. Choose the Add button (a plus icon) above the list. The form opens in a dialog.
  3. Complete the required fields: Code, Name.
  4. Reference fields: Inventory Account — pick an existing record from Ledgers; create it there first if it is missing.
  5. Save. The new record appears in the list; use search or the filters to find it again.
  6. To change it later, open the record from the list and edit it.
  7. Deleting asks you to confirm. Records that other records refer to may be refused or may affect them (see “Where … is used as a reference”).

#If something is missing or fails

  1. No data: confirm the company or context selected in the top bar, and any filters or date range in use.
  2. An action is hidden or disabled: it usually needs a permission your role does not have. Ask an administrator to check your effective access.
  3. An error message appears: note the message, the page address and what you were doing, and contact support with those details (never include passwords).
