SKU Definitions
SKU Definitions
We've made some changes to the SKU nomenclature to make it more intuitive and consistent across all end-types and cannabis classes.
Unit Quantity - the amount of discrete units within a package. For non-discrete unit SKUs (ex. dry flower), unit quantity will aways be 1.
Unit Weight - the weight of each unit within a package.
Target Weight - auto-calculated field (Unit Quantity * Unit Weight) representing the product weight of the SKU.
Total Packaged Weight - optional field allowing users to account for packaged weight (Target Weight + packaging materials).
Cost-Per-Package - optional field allowing users to associate cost to their products. Cost-per-package is a reportable field that can be viewed and tracked via the CRM Analytics report page.
Cost-Per-Package
We've added a new field to SKUs called cost-per-package, allowing users to associate cost to their products. Cost-per-package is a reportable field that can be viewed and tracked via the CRM Analytics report page. With this feature, users can track SKU profitability and generate profitability reports on SKU sales.
Editing SKUs
Users are now able to edit SKU details after a SKU has been created. Previously, only GTIN details were editable; however in this release we've made price, unit quantity, total product weight, and cost-per-package editable fields.
To avoid discrepancies, unit quantity and total product weight fields may only be adjusted if there are no current lot item inventory associated with that SKU. Pricing and cost-per-package may be adjusted at any time.
You will also notice we've changed the SKU info screen to make it more intuitive and easier to make edits as necessary.
Variable SKU Pricing
We've added a pricing table to the SKU page, allowing users to create alternative prices for a single SKU. Previously, SKUs were restricted to a default price and sales class. In this version, users are able to create new and unlimited pricing options for SKUs.
This is a useful feature, allowing (among others):
Discount pricing for marketing promotions
Varied pricing by Province to align price with margins
Pricing differentials based on sales class (ex. medical vs. intra-industry)
When adding a SKU to an order, users will be prompted to select a pricing variant for the order. Only the applicable variants (per sales class) will be presented to the user.
Backorders - SKUs with 0 stock
We've introduced a backorder feature, allowing users to create orders for SKUs that do not have stock, and accept payment on those orders. This allows for improved production planning, with visibility into which SKUs are on backorder, by how much, and for which orders.
As shown above, you can track current backorders from the Warehouse Overview page, along with which SKUs are currently on backorder.
SKUs that are on backorder will show a negative quantity of lot items available under the Available Stock section.
Introducing Ghost SKUs
To enable sales without possession of cannabis products, we've introduced a new concept of Ghost SKUS. This is a powerful feature for medical sellers who sell directly to patients without possession of the cannabis products.
A Ghost SKU is a cannabis SKU that is not physically on site. Similar to drop-shipping, this allows users to sell products from other producers that they do not physically possess. Ghost SKUs will report on the CTLS and b300 as sales, but without any change to physical inventory.
📝 How it Works - Ghost SKUs
📝 How it Works - Ghost SKUs
When creating a new SKU, users will notice a new option in the create SKU modal. Selecting this checkbox will make this SKU a Ghost SKU.
Selecting this option will prompt the user to add specifics about the SKU.
Unlike regular SKUs, Ghost SKUs do not have associated lots or lot items. This means that potency information must be associated at the SKU level.
As show above, users can select an approved supplier, input source lot number, along with details about potency and current inventory totals.
Once created, Ghost SKUs can be identified by the ghost icon on the SKU page.
Available inventory for a Ghost SKU can be manually adjusted on the SKU Info page. As there are no physical lot items for Ghost SKUs, inventory totals can be easily updated from this page.
Enhancements💡
We've improved the adjust weight feature, ensuring adjusted weights are reported accurately to the Health Canada report.
The CTLS export now includes sales data. When navigating the report, you will notice that the corresponding sales columns are now populated with accurate sales data.
We've added an organization setting allowing users to select whether to use decimals or commas to display numeric values. For customers in Quebec and internationally, this allows users to display values based on local standards.
The Master Batch Record has now been added to Mother Batches.
