Exercise 1 - Master Data

Strength Codes

Search Foundation Setup

The Strength1 Unit of measurement and Strength2 Unit of measurement fields are defined for all items (if applicable). Most common in beverage is to define the Alcohol by Volume (ABV) and Degrees Plato (DPL) as the strength2 UOM. Drill down and create or view all strength codes. On each item card you can define an item individual strength3 unit of measurement.

Strength codes are the base for the alcohol balance (ABV) and active ingredient functionality (any strength).

Item tracking Codes

Search Item Tracking Codes

View the item tracking codes. For the alcohol balance and active ingredient functionality some item tracking codes were created that:

• are lot specific (integrated inbound-outbound), including transfers and warehouse entries.
• allow variable strength (1, 2, and/or 3) (FastTab Alcohol Balance*)

Item tracking codes may require expiration dates or not. When an item tracking code does not include expiration dates, Drink-it AUTO FEFO functions (explained later) will be based on the posting date.
