In order to manage your inventory, you first need to add individual products. 


In order to add a new product:


  1. Click inventory in the left sidebar:


  2. Click add product on the right:


  3. Enter the name of the product. The name should be unique for each product to avoid confusion
  4. Specify the product type. Versum distinguishes two types of products:
    - retail products: products for sale
    - backbar product: professional products for internal use

    Tip: Products can be both retail and backbar at the same time - in such a case, just tick both checkboxes.

  5. Select a category 
  6. If you're adding a retail product, enter the gross sale price
  7. Select the VAT (tax) rate
  8. Select the usage (consumption) unit

    Note: The usage unit cannot be subsequently changed. Also, select the most specific unit available. It will allow you to track the exact consumption of backbar products.

  9. If you have selected a different usage unit than a pack, provide the package size
  10. Enter the starting stock level
  11. Enter the last purchase price (if the starting stock level is different than 0)
  12. Unless you'd like to provide additional information available in the extended details section, click the save product button to finish adding the product.
