Windfall NG requires either a ‘Tag Number' or an ‘Article Number’ as a unique identifier when bringing in inventory. 'Articles’ are essentially predefined descriptions of inventory pieces. They act as identifiers within Windfall and must be created prior bringing inventory into the warehouse. Articles are used in the commercial process and designed for like items that have traits in common.
It is advantageous to use articles when you will be receiving high quantities of the same item. There is no limit on the number of articles that can be created within Windfall NG.
