Admin / Products
Create and edit products
Add a product with category, base unit, cost and selling price, review duplicate warnings and update existing products.
Open Stock → Products. Search before creating a new item using Search name or product code…; category, subcategory, status and stock filters narrow the list. Check the Admin branch context. Viewing and creating/updating products are separate permissions.
Create a product
- Select New product.
- Enter Product name (up to 160 characters). Choose Category and, if shown, Parent category first. Subcategory is optional and must belong to the chosen category.
- Choose Base unit: the unit stock is counted in. Enter non-negative Cost price per base unit.
- Enter Sell price when the form shows one price, or complete Tier prices (per base unit). Review optional Minimum sales price, Min stock alert and Rack.
- Check identifiers, Branches, Media, and Status & visibility. Optional module fields are described in the related product guide.
- Select Create product. The saved product opens in its edit page with a confirmation.
Create & create another saves and starts another form with carried defaults, including category and unit. Review those defaults for the next item.
Similar-product warning
If Similar products already exist appears, inspect the suggestions and use Open when the item already exists. Choose Back to form to correct details. Create anyway is for a genuinely separate product; it does not bypass unique SKU, product-code or slug validation.
Edit an existing product
Open the product from the list, update its fields and select Save changes. A view-only account may see the form without being able to save. Check the confirmation rather than assuming navigation saved your changes.
Optional opening stock
In eligible businesses and accounts, a new-product form includes Opening stock (GRN). Enable Receive opening stock now, then enter positive Quantity received, non-negative Selling price and Purchase price, Supplier, and Receiving warehouse. These values describe actual stock received; creating a catalogue record alone does not add stock.
If this section is absent, save the product and use the permitted receiving workflow. Correct validation errors in the form before retrying; do not create a second product to get around an error.
