Create a product : Modulus

Overview

Modulus allows you to track products you buy and sell by setting up categories and information for products.

Understanding Modulus Product Types

Gift – These are Products Codes (SKUs) used to create Gift Vouchers either with Modulus EPOS system or with Modulus Online. Using these SKUs will not change inventory values or numbers. However, you will be able to keep track of all the Vouchers your business generated. (In order to use this feature and track all your Gift Vouchers' generation, redemption, and tracking, you must subscribe to the Gift voucher module.)

Normal- This is the default Product Type. It's important to keep track of these items because they are usually purchased and sold. Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Stock Transfers, etc. can be created for these items.

Service - These are items that allow you to record a sale when you render a service. The sale of services is not considered inventory, however the sale is recorded in the register.

Categories & Sub Categories

It is recommended that you organise your Products into Categories and Sub Categories. Segmenting your products makes it easier to manage your stock and to understand business reports for Sales, Profit Margin, Inventory, Stock Control, etc.

Step 1: Products

Navigate to Products from the main menu and click Create Product.

Step 2: Product Information

Complete the following fields under Product Information

Title*	Enter a title for this item as you would like it to appear on sale and order - and on your website when you add it.
Description	Describe the product exactly as you want it to be described on orders and sales
Brand*	To differentiate the product from other brands' products, enter the brand name
Product type	From the available types, select the product type
Tags	If applicable, provide the relevant tags. Ensure consistency with Tags to enable data filtering for reporting

Step 3: Inventory

Complete the following fields under Inventory

SKU*	The product's unique code (Stock keeping unit) should be entered.
Barcode	Entries on bar codes can be up to 13 characters long and in alphanumeric format.
Stock	Whenever you enter this product into the system, any stock of this product already existing in the system will be displayed.

Add Variants: If the Product contains variations such as colour and/or size, click the Add Variants link (this opens a pop up where you can add colours and sizes to the product). Keeping your colour and size consistent will allow you to filter your data for reporting.

Step 4: Pricing

Complete the following fields under Pricing

Cost:	Fill in the price for each product.
Tax (%):	Enter the tax that must be added to the cost per unit.
Price (RRP):	Set a price for the item including tax.
Selling At:	Price the product at the price you would like it to sell for.
Margin (%) :	The system calculates the margin from the sales price (including tax) and displays it. The percentage represents your profit percentage for selling the product at the price mentioned in Price (incl. tax).

Step 5: Images

Each product can have one picture
