Chapter 2 Items
The main Items Index is split into two locations, the Items Menu and the Items List.
From left to right, the buttons:
- Create a new item
- Perform inventory on all items
- Print multiple Labels/eTickets
- Barcode Sheet/Inventory Report
- Download CSV of current View
The only required fields are these:
The List Price is how much you will sell this item to customers, the buyback price is how much you would pay a customer for this item. These values can be changed on the POS screen during the sale.
If you do use the Buyback option you may also wish to scroll down to the advanced section, check Default Buyback and Change Price on Scan, which will default to a negative priced item, and force the cashier to set a price immediately after scan.
Category can be safely left blank if you do not use them, but Tax Profile is required! even if it is 0!
The rest of the fields are for advanced usage, 99% of the time you will never use them.
You can download the currently shown items (even if you searched for them) and edit them in bulk in LibreOffice (Excel might work as well).
You can then drag/drop the edited file onto the drop area at the bottom of the list. Download a csv to get an idea of the format, it's very simple, tab delimited.
You can open the db/schema.rb file to see all possible item keys which could be set, but that is a very advanced operation.
Views which support CSV Uploads have a drop pad, where you can drag and drop .csv files to upload them.
