This is where you set up individual products such as a Coca Cola drink
for the POS.
First set up Product Types.
In the Dashboard go to Set Up > Point of Sale > Manage Products.
To add a product see that you are in details in the bottom section,
click the add button located at the top of the window, and fill in
the boxes in the lower part of that screen. A code is not required
for setting up products and can be just a letter like W for water.Products
such as Sunbed Use or Equipment Hire would not have the Track Stock
ticked.
It is helpful to enter a minimum stock level as this registers this
product for the Minimal Stock Level report.
Suppliers are set up through the Dashboard > Set Up > POS > Suppliers.
Purchase packages is an optional field for where you can get a bulk
or related purchase quickly entered. An example could be purchasing
a carton of drinks. You would set up the product Carton of .... as
a new product and save. Then go to Purchase Package. The new product
should be showing. On Right Hand side highlight the product that is
being purchased in bulk. Click Add button. Enter quantity that comes
in the carton in the Adds...Units. When a purchase is made of a carton
it will automatically add the carton quantity to the drink stocks.
The Sales Package acts in a similar way. It may also be used where

with cones.
