Parent Commodities and Inventory

Commodities may be Parent or Child commodities or inventory items. Each yard may have its own version of copper but they're linked through the one that's starred – the parent. This allows for consolidated reporting.

The Parent commodity is special. You may push Parent pricing, for example. A change in price on parent commodity pushes the price to the Child commodities. The scale and tier pricing and rewards can be pushed.

Multi-parent Cloning allows you to use the parent parameters for a commodity and quickly add that commodity and all its properties to another yard where it doesn’t exist. For example, to create Copper 3 for Jacksonville yard, do a Multi-Parent Clone specifying Jacksonville and then touch Done. If you search, you’ll find Copper 3 in Jacksonville and appears in the Button Maker.

If a parent commodity or inventory item is added to a menu, if that item is not purchased or sold at a specific yard, the button will be shown as blank.

This screen shows parent inventory items. Each has a star next to it's button.
