Create A New Custom Item

On the Catalog Item Maintenance screen you can:

  • Create new items, both physical (goods) and non-physical (services) or Miscellaneous Charges
  • Edit existing items
  • Make a copy of an existing item

You can also add a new catalog (or delete an existing one) from: Edit -> Catalogs

New Custom Item

Open the Catalog Item Maintenance screen:

  • Enter a code for your custom item.
  • Enter a catalog name.
If you enter the name of a catalog which does NOT already exist, FastManager will create that catalog for you - on the fly.



If you open any existing item, then change either the Code , Description or Catalog - FastManager will make a copy of that item

Now enter or select:

  • Description
  • Type
    • The only types available are: 'Apparel', 'ASI' and 'Other'
  • Sales Group
  • The default Vendor (for purchasing)
  • Should this item be included on the PO Wizard by default?
  • Is it taxable?
    • NOTE: Tax 2 will be NON in almost every case
  • Should the item be excluded when calculating Sales Commissions?
    • Useful for sundry charges such as Shipping costs
  • Is this a Physical Item?
    • if left unchecked, the item will be a 'Service' or 'Miscellaneous' charge, and not “Physical Goods”
    • For example: Shipping or Transport costs
Miscellaneous Charges“ should not be confused with the Additional Charges that you might add to your embellishment (design)

To specify colors and sizes for this item, UNCHECK the box: No colors or sizes then click on: Colors and Sizes

  • You can enter anything you like under both the Colors section on the left and the Sizes section on the right.

Copy Existing Item

On the Catalog Items screen, open any existing item

  • You will see the red ribbon reads: Editing an existing item
  • Now simply edit any of the Code, Description or Catalog fields
  • the red ribbon changes to: Creating a new item
  • Proceed to make any other changes you wish



Custom Catalogs are a great way to add ASI items


How to add a missing vendor catalog

If you can supply us with the vendor's catalog data in a spreadsheet that is laid out closely to the sample provided below, then we can provide that data for you to import through the program.

The spreadsheet must contain at least the following information:

  • Style No
  • Description
  • Colors (one color per row )
  • Sizes (one size per row)
  • Case size and/or Pack size

The following is optional, but recommended:

  • Price per unit
  • Price per pack
  • Price per case
