Adding an Item

To add a new Inventory item you will have to fill in all the fields that are described above. Read the section on Inventory Maintenance to understand the importance of the fields required to add an Inventory item. Below is an example of how to add a new Inventory item. Chocolate Chip Cookie will be used as an example.

• Select New. Follow the descriptions under Inventory and Item Maintenance Fields to help you fill in all the relevant fields. 
  
• Enter an Item ID. Remember the Item ID must be unique for each product. This could be COOKIE1 or CHOCCHPCOOK or CHOCCHIP. It does not matter to the program, it simply needs to make sense to you. 
  
• Next enter the Description of the item itself. Enter Chocolate Chip Cookie. This is the description that will appear on your reports.
  
• Next enter the Price of the item in the Default Price field. 
  
• Select a category under Item Type. For this select Standard. See section Inventory | Item Type  for more details on selection options.
  
• Next select the Sales Class. If you need to add a class, see section Maintenance | Sales Classes for more information.
  
• Select the appropriate sales tax settings for the item and any other options that are relevant for your location. If the item is taxable, you will need to select a Tax Group from the drop-down list. See section Maintenance | Tax Group Maintenance for more information.
  
• When you are finished select Save.
  
• Select Yes.
  
• To edit an item, select Edit then change the information desired, such as the description.
  

To add a new item that is similar to an existing item use the Copy button to save time. You will see it leaves all the fields filled in but makes them editable.

Once you have added an Inventory item you are now able to create a button for that item. You will exit Inventory Maintenance and select Customize from the main screen. See section Customize for more information on creating buttons.
