How to Set Up CPU in Nory

Setting up CPU in Nory allows your business to track stock and reporting correctly for Central Production Unit workflows. Once configured, CPU-related deliveries and values can feed into reconciliation and management reporting for the relevant locations.

Before you begin

Please contact your Customer Success Manager to add CPU

Before setting up CPU, make sure you have:

  • the correct locations identified as CPU-related locations

  • the relevant CPU suppliers set up correctly

  • delivery pricing and delivery note adjustments reviewed

  • the right user permissions to edit inventory or supplier configuration

Nory’s reporting definitions make clear that CPU fields are only relevant for CPU locations and deliveries from CPU suppliers, so the setup should start with those two building blocks.

What CPU setup should achieve

Your CPU setup should ensure that:

  • deliveries from CPU suppliers are recorded correctly

  • CPU-related values appear in reporting where relevant

  • actual costs and stock movements are calculated correctly for affected items and locations

  • any markup applied to CPU-supplied batch items is visible where relevant

This matters because CPU data is used in reporting calculations such as CPU Received Value in the Stock Reconciliation Report and CPU Delivered Quantity in Management Report formulas.

Step 1: Identify the CPU location

Start by confirming which location in Nory should operate as the CPU location.

CPU-specific reporting only applies to CPU locations, so this is the first setup decision to get right. In the Stock Reconciliation Report, Nory defines CPU Received Value as only applicable to CPU locations. Once CPU is enabled you will see "Production" section enabled.

Step 2: Set up or confirm CPU suppliers

Next, review the suppliers linked to CPU-related deliveries.

Nory’s Stock Reconciliation Report definitions state that CPU Received Value tracks deliveries from CPU suppliers, using the amount at the time of ordering or delivery note adjustments. This means supplier setup and delivery records need to be correct for CPU reporting to work as expected.

In the supplier tab, please ensure you add the email address for your CPU location so that all purchase orders are sent to the correct email.

Step 3: If CPU is being used as a supplier for batches, make sure markup is shown

If you are setting up the CPU as a supplier for batches, make sure the markup is also shown where it has been configured.

This is an important part of the setup because the CPU may not just act as a source of supply. It may also be supplying batch items into downstream locations or workflows. Where markup has been applied, it should be visible so teams can understand the transferred cost correctly and avoid confusion when reviewing batch-related values.

Suggested support wording:

If the CPU is set up as a supplier for batches, make sure any markup is also shown if it has been configured. This helps ensure batch costs are represented clearly and consistently.

Step 4: Confirm delivery pricing and delivery note adjustments

Review how CPU deliveries are entered, including:

  • quantities

  • prices

  • delivery dates

This is important because CPU values in reporting depend on the recorded delivery information. The Stock Reconciliation Report explicitly states that CPU Received Value reflects the price at the time of ordering.
