Adding a new product: name, price, barcode and minimum stock

Steps

  1. Open "Inventory" and press "New product".
  2. Enter the "Product name" as it should appear on the receipt, the "Sell price" in dinars, and the "Cost price" (needed to compute profit).
  3. Scan or type the "Barcode" if the pack has one. Leave it empty for loose or local items.
  4. Set the "Min": when stock falls below it, the item appears in the reorder suggestions and the home-screen card.
  5. Pick the "Category" (or create one from "New category"), and upload an image from "Product image" if you want it on the till grid.
  6. For clothing and shoes: enable "This product has variants" and "Add variant" for each size/colour with its barcode. For devices: enable the serial/IMEI. For medicines and food: enable batches and expiry. Leave them off for the rest.
  7. Press "Save product". The quantity starts at zero until you enter it with a stock adjustment or by receiving a purchase order.

Notes

  • Later price changes save immediately from the item page and are written to the audit log under the name of whoever changed them.
  • The product itself is available in every branch; the quantity is per branch.

What the system does not do

It does not fetch the name or image from the barcode automatically (no public product database).

Common questions

The item has no factory barcode.
Leave "Barcode" empty; an item code (SKU) is created for search, and you can print a barcode label for it from the item page ([print labels](/help/print-barcode-labels)).
How do I enter the current quantity?
From the item page, "Adjust stock" with the reason "Opening quantity" and the cost, or with a cycle count after adding every item.
