Create retail or operational products and choose which items should be tracked in inventory.
Create clean product records
Add a clear product name, selling price and other required information. Use product categories consistently so lists and reports remain useful.
Choose what to track
Inventory tracking is most valuable for products where quantity matters. When tracking is enabled, stock movement should be recorded through receiving, sales, transfers or adjustments rather than by casually changing balances.
Start with reliable opening quantities
Before relying on low-stock or movement information, count what you physically have and make sure the system starts from a trustworthy quantity.
