🛒 Products and stock
This section shows you how to create your items, manage inventory, receive stockout alerts, and use barcodes for fast checkout.
➕ Create an article
- Go to the Settings menu, then click on Items.
- Press the Add button.
- Fill in the fields: Item name, Sale price, and possibly Department.
- Add a photo (optional) and assign a department or group.
- Validate to save.
💡 You can create items without inventory management if you don't want to track quantities.
📦 Activate stock management
Activate inventory management on the Configuration page, General options, “Inventory management” section
From the Articles menu or directly in an article's file, you can:
- Adjust the quantity in stock
- Record a stock entry or exit
- Correct an inventory error
⚠️ Low stock alert
For each item, you can set an alert threshold. If the stock falls below this level, the item will be flagged in the list.
Example: threshold at 5 units – an alert will be displayed when the stock reaches 4 or less.
📷 Using barcodes
You can assign a barcode to each item:
- In the item sheet, scan or manually enter the barcode.
- When selling, scan the code with your phone's camera or a USB/Bluetooth reader.
- The item is automatically added to the ticket.
✅ Barcode scanning even works with an Android smartphone camera.
