Inventory Settings
The inventory settings ensure products are organized and tracked with the POS system.
-
Variants: Variants are used to organize your products into a product folder. This is useful for grouping products with different variations in one place.
Example: If you have 3 different products of [Brand 1] with different variations Eg. Brand 1 250mL, Brand 1 500 mL ,etc they can be saved as variants under the parent product Brand 1 -
Standalone: Creates one line in the product list. These products do not live in a folder nor do they have variants.
-
Inventory Tracking: By default, inventory tracking is turned on for all products. This allows you to track physical inventory movements and add inventory quantities via purchase order.
-
Lot Tracking: A lot is a batch of products made or collected together into a distinct group identified by a shared lot number. These provide value where a product is recalled.
Variants/Product Details
Depending on your selection of "This product has variants" or "This product is standalone" will determine what information you see on the product details page.
-
Inactive/Active Variants: Each variant can be set to active or inactive. Note: If your store has more than one location, setting this variant to inactive/active will apply to all locations.
For example, perhaps you no longer sell a version of a product, and you do not want it to show up on the POS; you can simply change the variant to inactive.
