Adding POS products and product groups
POS products are the items and services you sell at a register, such as drinks or firewood. Every product belongs to a product group. Each register shows the product groups you make available there, as tabs.
Create a product group
Go to POS > Products, click New and choose to add a product group.
Enter a Name, for example "Drinks".
Under Visible for registers, select the registers that show this product group.
Click Save.
Add a product
Go to POS > Products, click New and choose to add a product.
Enter a Name. It appears on the product button and on the receipt.
Optional: Add an Image. It makes the product easier to find in the register.
In Price (Incl. VAT), enter the price per item.
In Account, select the ledger account that receives the revenue.
Select the Product group.
Click Save.
To sell the product with a barcode scanner, add a barcode. Read: Using a barcode scanner
Change the order of products
Go to POS > Products and open the product group.
Drag the products into the order you want. You can also sort them alphabetically.
Good to know
How long can a product name be? Up to 32 characters. Each product name must be unique within the administration.
Can one product have several prices? No. Create a product for each price, or change the price on the receipt during the sale. Read: Selling a product with a variable price
Why can't I select a balance sheet account for a product? POS products can't book revenue to a balance sheet account. This protects your financial administration.
Can I delete a product group? Only when it is empty. Move or delete its products first.
Can I get a deleted product back? No. Deleting a product is permanent. To sell it again, add it as a new product.
