What are the differences between Products, Parts, Devices and Stocks?

This article will define how Fixably differentiates between Products, Parts, Devices and Stocks?

Products

Products are physical items, services or administrative parts available in Orders.

They can be created using the Create New Product button from the Fixably Home Screen. In the New product panel, enter the Product code, name, selling prices, and any other required information. Click Save to create the product.

Products can be managed or edited by searching for the Product code, clicking on the part number if used in an order, or using the Stocks module if it's enabled in your Subscription Plan.

Parts

Parts are Products that are fetched using an OEM integration such as GSX.

Parts are automatically created in the Product database when the information is fetched from the OEM system. Product types are assigned automatically, usually module/replacement. If the Stocks module is enabled in your subscription, parts will be listed in the appropriate stock.

Parts can be managed or edited by searching for the Part, clicking on the part number if used in an order, or using the Stocks module if it's enabled in your Subscription Plan.

Devices

Devices are the physical items being repaired on an Order in Fixably.

Searching for a serial or IMEI number will search for applicable devices. If an OEM Integration (for example, GSX or GSPN) is enabled, essential device information is retrieved. Information can also be edited or added manually.

Stocks

If the Stocks module is enabled, Fixably can manage your inventory.

Administrators can add multiple stocks in different locations. Stock and inventory can be edited and managed through the Stocks module. Use automatons such as Import and Purchase Orders to make your workflow more efficient.
