Adding New Product

ADDING NEW PRODUCT

From the main POS Manager screen, go to <Product Maintenance>

If you do not have a speed button, go to: Product Service>Product>Maintenance

Click on the ADD (+) icon Enter the product CSPC (SKU) or use the Bluebook shortcut to find the product in the LDB database.

When using the Bluebook shortcut, search the LDB database to find the product. Double click on the item to import shared product details.

OR

When entering a correct/current NEW PRODUCT CSPC/SKU, the product info should appear in the LDB info screen.

Click on the “Price List” icon to import shared details (NOT the Bluebook)

Add/Edit New Product details (Often, the LDB names are too long or obscure. You may wish to edit the description to make searching, inventory and labeling easier. Tip: If the name fits in the description window, it will typically fit on standard shelf labels.) Select the: -Category -Cost -Price Group (auto-generates a selling price if the cost is available) OR manually enter a selling price in PRICE 1

-Vendor -Deposit CSPC (amount to charge for bottles/cans)

Select the “Stock” tab to set ordering details. (These are VERY IMPORTANT details, often overlooked but needed for the reorder guides to make proper suggestions.)

Enter:

-Min Stock (How many units you are willing to let the shelf run down to before reordering even if sales are not met fore-ordering). This number is typically higher for top selling SKUs. -Mult. For Order: The minimum units that can be ordered. Typically, this number is equal to the units per case.

-Enter the Units Per Case (if this info was not part of the imported shared details) -Tick ‘Order By Case’ -Click “Save”

IMPORTANT! MOST products are ‘Ordered by the case’ but occasionally, a product may be ordered by the unit. If this is the case, enter the number of individual bottles/units to order in the “Mult For Order” box and do not tick the “Order By Case” box.

During the re-order process, you will be ordering BY THE UNIT, but the system will convert the orders to cases on the Purchase Order for the Vendor.

TIP: After adding a new product, it is a good idea to scan the item. Often barcodes are updated on a product way before they are in the LDB database. If the product does not scan, update the barcode in the system with the barcode on the product.
