Items & pricing
This page shows you how to set up items — anything you buy, sell, or stock — and the prices attached to them. Getting your item master right is the foundation everything else (sales, purchasing, stock) builds on.
Create an item
Section titled “Create an item”An item is a product or a service. Go to Stock → Items and Pricing → Item, click New, and:
- Enter an Item Code (a short identifier — the Item Name auto-fills to match).
- Choose an Item Group (a category like Products, Raw Material, or Services).
- Tick Maintain Stock for physical goods you hold; leave it unticked for services.
- Optionally set an opening stock and a standard selling rate.
- Save.
Prices and price lists
Section titled “Prices and price lists”Rather than baking one price into an item, Zinye ERP keeps prices in Item Prices under Price Lists. This lets you keep your selling and buying prices separate, and have different selling prices by territory or customer.
To set a price: go to Selling/Buying/Stock → Items and Pricing → Item Price → New, pick the item, the price list (Selling or Buying), enter the rate, and save. From then on, that rate fills in automatically on the matching documents.
Pricing rules
Section titled “Pricing rules”A Pricing Rule applies discounts or special prices automatically when conditions are met — for example “10% off for this customer group” or “buy 10, get a better rate.” Set them up once and they apply across sales (or purchasing) without anyone keying a discount by hand.
