Products

Allows you to create, edit, and delete goods/products/services.

You can create an unlimited number of goods/products/services. It is only limited by your hardware.

+Add a product
The displayed window allows you to create new products. Mandatory fields are assigned with a star (*) If you are using a barcode reader, you can scan the barcode directly into the corresponding field !

 

PLU (mandatory)
Product List Unit, your unique product-number you assign to a product. It can be composed of any numeric value between 1 and 15 digits. It may also contain dots (».»).

Bar Code
Enter here the barcode of the product using your barcode scanner.

Title
The name of the product. This name will be used everywhere, especially on sales receipts and reports. We recommend shortening longer product names in order to be printed completely on a sales receipt. It should not be longer then 18 characters. Tick the »Ask for it»-checkbox and Cashy-POS will ask you every time for the name of this product.

Description
Add here some additional product information. Optionally this information can be printed on receipts if in settings the option »Print description» is turned ON.

Category (mandatory)
Each product is assigned to a category. It’s a best practice to create first the categories and later the products which you assign to the previously created categories. You can create a maximum of 10 categories in »Manage Cashy > Categories»

Wholesale
Enter here the wholesale price of your product. This price is usually the price you pay to your merchant for the product or, when manufacturing the product yourself, it indicates the cost of the product and in most countries does not include TVA and therefore Cashy-POS is programmed to use this price not including TVA. If you don’t enter any data here, this field is defaulted to zero.

Sale
The price your customer will have to pay for this product. It is possible to enter a negative sales price here. Tick the »Ask for it»-checkbox and Cashy-POS will ask you every time for the price of this product.

Min Stock
You can indicate a minimum number of pieces you want always have on stock from this item. This way you can reorder the product if it reaches the minimum stock quantity you indicated here.

If the toggle »Warn at minimum stock» in »Manage Cashy > Settings > Extra» is ON, Cashy-POS will display once a pop-up window showing the remaining stock of this product.

Stock
The actual number of pieces from this product you have in your shop. The default value is 0 and will turn into minus when selling this product.

Supplier code
Add here any additional product information, e.g. the product number your supplier use. This field will only be visible on the product-list.

Edit-button
This button shows you all details from a previously created product and allows you to edit or delete the product.

+ Stock-button
Displays you a window where you can add new items to the STOCK of this product. You can also assign a new wholesale price to the added products. If you assign a new wholesale price to the product, the wholesale price of the still existing products on stock will be recalculated.

For example :
You have 5 items in stock at wholesale price of 10. Now you order 5 items from a cheaper supplier and you have for these NEW items a wholesale price of 8 each. Cashy-POS now will calculate an average wholesale price for all 10 items on stock using the following formula:

5 items at 10 already in stock represent a stock value of 50. 5 new items at 8 each is a stock value of 40. Gives 10 items in stock at a value of 90, so each item has now a wholesale price of 9 (90 divided by number of items).

»Is a service»- option
If you are selling services instead of products you can select this option. This will become important for export purposes

»Add manual text at sale»- option
Selecting this option, Cashy-POS will ask you entering an free text when selling this product. This could be a serial number or f.ex. an expiration date of a voucher.
