Tracking a product in stock

Some products are counted one at a time: cans and bottles of beer, T-shirts, stickers. Switch on stock tracking for a product like that and you can receive it, count it, and have each sale taken off the stock.

Before you start

• Every BrewPOS business can track products in stock. There is nothing to switch on. If a product has no Inventory section, call BrewPOS Support at 1-800-676-9874.

• To change a count, your employee record needs access to Inventory. To receive deliveries or count stock, it also needs the Receive or Count permission. See Managing employees.

• The product has to exist already. See Make a product.

Switch on tracking

1. Click Setup, then Products (Figure 1).

The Setup menu in BrewPOS Admin, with Products

2. Open the product.

3. On the Locations tab, make sure it is ticked to sell at your locations and has a price (Figure 2).

You can now receive this product and have its sales taken off your stock. To scan it, put its barcode in UPC on the same tab: products can be scanned by their product ID or by that code.
