- **Type:** Task
- **Module:** Inventory
- **Menu path:** Ana Veriler › Ürünler › Ürün Ana Verileri › Yeni Ürün (Master Data › Products › Product Master Data › New Product)
- **Screen route:** `/erp/catalog/products`
- **Required permission:** `erp-catalog-items.create`
- **Prerequisites:**
  - The unit of measure to be used is active in **Ölçü Birimleri** (Units of Measure), and the product type in **Ürün Türleri** (Product Types).
  - If lot or serial numbers will be assigned automatically, a profile is defined in **Seri ve Lot Numarası Profilleri** (Serial and Lot Number Profiles).

The product card is the source of stock-related behavior: the base unit, the tracking type and the quality control
requirement are read from the card's definition in all movements. Screen details:

## Steps

1. Open the **Ana Veriler › Ürünler › Ürün Ana Verileri** (Master Data › Products › Product Master Data) screen and click **Yeni Ürün** (New Product).
   <!-- action: click · target: "Yeni Ürün" · expect: "The Ürün Ana Verileri — Yeni (Product Master Data — New) window opens" -->
2. Type the product name in the **Ürün tanımı** (Product description) field. The **Ürün Kodu** (Product Code) is suggested from the name and the product type's prefix; overwrite it if needed.
   <!-- action: fill · target: "Ürün tanımı" · value: "KOSTİK (NaOH) %98 PUL" · expect: "The Ürün Kodu (Product Code) is suggested (e.g. HAM-…)" -->
3. Select the **Ürün türü** (Product type). The type brings the permitted usages and the defaults of the new card.
   <!-- action: select · target: "Ürün türü" · value: "Hammadde" -->
4. Select the usage check boxes: **Stok ürünü** (Stock item), **Satış ürünü** (Sales item), **Satınalma ürünü** (Purchasing item), **Üretim ürünü** (Production item). The tab of an unselected box is closed.
   <!-- action: choose · target: "Stok ürünü" -->
5. On the **Genel** (General) tab, select the **Kategori** (Category). If lots or serial numbers will be tracked, select the **Ürün yönetme ölçütü** (Product management criterion) (Lot Takipli / Seri No Takipli (Lot-managed / Serial-managed)) and, if needed, the **Seri/Lot profili** (Serial/Lot profile). If inspection is required on receipt, select **Girişte kalite kontrol › Gerekli** (Quality control on receipt › Required).
   <!-- action: select · target: "Ürün yönetme ölçütü" · value: "Lot Takipli" -->

   1. Product name — required
   2. Product code — proposed from name and type prefix
   3. Usage boxes — unticked ones disable their tab
   4. Measures — base unit required, cannot change later
   5. Tracking: none, lot or serial
   6. Inspection on receipt — receipts go to quarantine
   7. Create

6. On the **Ölçü Verileri** (Units of Measure Data) tab, select the **Stok ölçü birimi** (Stock unit of measure). This unit cannot be changed after the card is saved.
   <!-- action: open · target: "Ölçü Verileri" · value: "KG" -->
7. If it is a stock item, enter the **Minimum stok** (Minimum stock) and **Maksimum stok** (Maximum stock) on the **Stok Verileri** (Stock Data) tab, and the planning strategy and procurement type on the **Planlama Verileri** (Planning Data) tab.
   <!-- action: open · target: "Stok Verileri" -->
8. Click **Oluştur** (Create).
   <!-- action: click · target: "Oluştur" · expect: "The card is saved and appears in the list" -->

**Result:** The product card is saved as **Aktif** (Active). For unit conversions and barcodes, see [Define units and barcodes](https://erpdocs.corexlogic.com/en/stok/islemler/birim-ve-barkod-tanimlama); the initial stock is received with a [goods receipt](https://erpdocs.corexlogic.com/en/stok/islemler/mal-girisi-yapma), a purchasing goods receipt or an opening balance.

## What you need to know

- The **base unit** cannot be changed later; a **service ↔ material** switch is not possible (a new card is
  created).
- The tracking type is selected on the new card; afterwards it can only be changed with **İzleme Tipini Değiştir**
  (Change Tracking Type) while the card is not in use (no stock, movements or open documents).
- Every receipt of a card with **Girişte kalite kontrol** (Quality control on receipt) selected is posted to
  KARANTINA status and cannot be used until a quality decision is made.
- **Maksimum stok** (Maximum stock) cannot be entered on its own; a minimum (which can be zero) must also be entered.
  The minimum cannot be greater than the maximum.
- Do not create separate flat cards for size, color or dimension differences of the same product; use a
  configurable parent card and variants.
- A duplicate code is rejected: "'\{kod\}' kodlu stok kartı zaten mevcut." (A stock card with code '\{kod\}'
  already exists.)
