Create Stock Screen

Learn how to create stock SKUs in Bravo using the Create Stock screen with manual entry or vendor catalog options.

Last Updated:  4/13/2025

The Create Stock screen is shown when you are creating a Stock SKU, which can be done in one of the following ways:

  1. Without a vendor catalog item reference
  2. With a vendor catalog item reference

Creating Standalone SKUs without Vendor Catalog Items

When you are creating a SKU without a vendor catalog item as a reference for the SKU, you will select Create Stock on any of the following screens:

1. Stocks and Variants in System Configuration

The Stock shortcut at the Company level in System Configuration has moved to a new side menu option called Stock and Variants that can also be accessed through Inventory > Stock Management to manage Stock SKUs and the new feature called Variants, that was added to enhance and manage SKUs.
To learn more about SKU Variance its set up and usage see this article, Stock and SKU Variance

2. Stock Management screen has:

    • Purchase Orders
      • SKUs
    • Receivings
    • Stock Adjustments

Stock Management has a new menu Option on the right called, Stock and Variants, that was added to enhance and manage SKUs.

  • Selecting Stock and Variants from the side menu and then Create Stock will bring up the Create Stock screen.

Here is an explanation of the fields shown on the Create Stock screen for Stock without a vendor catalog item reference:

  • ENTER MANUFACTURER - Type in the manufacturer and select from the list provided. If the manufacturer is not available, you can create a custom one instead.
  • ENTER MODEL - Type in the Model and select from the list provided. If the model is not available, you can create a custom one instead. 
  • Bravo will automatically assign a category to the item. If you need to change the category, click on Edit and choose a different category.
  • Bravo allows specific firearm categories to be used for SKUs when Manufacturer and Model are specified or when the SKU is created through Vendor Catalog Integration. In each case, the resulting Stock will be a serialized SKU.
  • Description - Enter the description for the items that will go into this particular SKU. It is recommended to enter the manufacturer and model name for the item, to make it easy to identify and to make searches easier.
  • Vendor Number and Manufacturer Part Number - Only apply when a SKU is based off of a vendor catalog item.

Company SKU Number - Enter a company SKU number.

When creating a SKU, it can be auto-generated if left blank. Stock SKUs use a different format, typically the manufacturer's model number or UPC.
  • UPC - Input the UPC. If the item has a UPC on its packaging, scan it with your barcode scanner. Later, you can scan that UPC, and Bravo will recognize it as the configured SKU.
When creating a SKU, the UPC/Barcode can be auto-generated if left blank. If no UPC/Barcode is entered for the SKU, the SKU labels will print using a system-generated barcode.
  •  
    • Tax Group can be defined when creating a Stock.
    • Tags  - Enter Tags if necessary. Tags are other aliases/UPCs which redirect to this SKU, either by scanning the UPC or typing the alias/UPC in a search field. Up to four tags can be configured per Stock SKU. See Bucket and Stock Tags for more information.
  • To add an image, click on the Google icon .  This will bring you to the Google Image Search for the item in your SKU.
  • Multiple images can be added to a Stock SKU that isn't linked to a Bravo model or vendor catalog item. For SKUs linked to a Bravo model or vendor item, images will be sourced from that model/item.
  • MSRP represents the MSRP of the average item in your SKU.
  • Price is the store's selling price for each individual SKU item.

Note:

If your store allows $0.00 SKUs, manager approval is needed to set the price to $0.00. The approving employee must have the Price SKU at $0.00 security option set to Allowed. If not configured for $0.00 prices, a validation error will occur stating, "Price must be greater than 0".

Creating Stock from Vendor Catalog Items

When you are creating Stock with a vendor catalog item as a reference, you will perform a Catalog Search.

  • Select the desired catalog item, and click Select to reach the Create Stock screen.

With vendor catalog SKUs, the Create Stock screen shows the following information:

  • The upper left corner displays the vendor from which this catalog item was selected (e.g. LIPSEY'S).
  • There are additional fields in the left panel to display the manufacturer and model name.
  • Category is predefined, and not editable.
  • Manufacturer Part Number and Vendor SKU may be present, if the Catalog has this information.
  • There is a button on the right of some of these fields to copy the values in them .
  • to the Company SKU Number.
  • UPC is likely to be predefined and not be editable. If there is no UPC from the catalog, the field will be empty and editable.  
  • Tax Group can now be defined when creating a Stock.
  • Stock photos from the catalog item will be shown.
  • Catalog Information will include a description of the item and any catalog attributes on file from the catalog. If the item comes from the Bravo Estimator catalog, no attributes will be shown.
  • MSRP and Price may be predefined from the catalog item. If there is no catalog information available for these values, $0.00 will appear in each field, and must be set before saving the SKU
