Product SKU Types
The product SKU types available for your use within Brew Ninja are described below:
Product SKU Type | Description |
Packaged | A product that you brew and sell to customers or distributors in a package. |
Composite | A product that combines multiple non-composite SKUs together into a single SKU to be sold as a unit. |
Dispensable | A SKU which can be used in the taproom, such as a keg that you have filled yourself. |
Poured |
A product that comes from a tap, such as a glass of beer or a growler fill. When a poured product is sold, inventory is deducted from the taproom. |
Service | A service that you provide that does not exist in inventory, such as a facility rental. |
Direct Sale |
A product that is also tracked in your inventory as a material. These products can be purchased on purchase orders and sold on retail sales and sales orders. |
Combo |
A product that combines multiple products to be sold as a single unit, such as a taster flight. Unlike composite products, combo items are not tracked in your inventory. Instead, inventory is deducted for the components of a combo when you finalize related sales. Combos may contain other combos, but you cannot finalize a sale with a combo that contains itself. |
Guest Keg |
A product type that exists for kegs used in your taproom that you have purchased instead of filling yourself. Note: guest kegs require a recipe so that Brew Ninja can deduct the appropriate quantity from a keg on tap when you sell pints from a retail store. |
