PRO (WA): Adding and Cloning Non-Cannabis Products

Updated 2 weeks ago by Cultivera Team

This article reviews adding and cloning non-cannabis products in Cultivera Pro.

Keep in mind these workflows only pertain to managing non-cannabis inventory, and do not track the Cost of Goods Sold.

Adding and Cloning Non-Cannabis Products

The Inventory Management > Products page, with the Non-Cannabis filter checked, shows a catalog-style view of existing Non-Cannabis products, including images, and inventory information for every non-cannabis product in your Cultivera PRO system.

While you can also view and update existing non-cannabis products from Inventory Management > Manage Menu, you’ll need to navigate to Inventory Management > Products to “Create New Non-Cannabis Product” or view Discontinued non-cannabis products.

You can also create new non-cannabis products by Cloning an existing one, which can be done from the Product Detail page of any existing non-cannabis product.

Adding A New Non-Cannabis Product

Before adding a new non-cannabis product it’s a good idea to first search your existing list to make sure the product is not already in your system (potentially under a slightly different name than expected). If you find a product that is very similar to the new one needed, you can “Clone” a new product from the existing one if there are only minor changes such as color, brand, or product line (instructions for cloning products can be found at the bottom of this document).

To begin adding a completely new product:

Navigate to Inventory Management > Products.
Click the “+ Create > New Non-Cannabis Product” button, which will open the New Non-Cannabis Product page with multiple fields for you to fill in.
Enter the necessary non-cannabis product information. Certain required fields are noted with a red asterisk and must be completed before creating the product.*

Non-Cannabis types such as Packaging or Additives.
Unit of Measurement - the unit of measurement being used, or 'each'

Once all the required fields have been populated:

Click “Create” in the bottom right corner to finish the process.

The new product will then be accessible on both the Products and Manage Menu pages.

Cloning Existing Non-Cannabis Products

If you already have a similar non-cannabis product in your system, cloning the existing product and editing the “cloned” copy can save time and effort.

To use the Clone feature:

Navigate to the Product Detail page for the non-cannabis product you want to clone (either by clicking the Product Name seen on the Manage Menu and Products pages or by clicking the "eyeball" icon next to the Product Name seen on the Non-Cannabis Inventory page).
Once on the Product Detail page, Select the yellow “Clone” button in the top-right corner (pictured below). A “Clone product” window opens.

The new product will have all the fields copied from the product you cloned.

Before changing anything, note the words “Clone product – From” and the original product’s name should appear at the top of the window, confirming that you’re not overwriting the original item you cloned from.

At this point, all you have to do is enter a new Product Name and Edit the fields that should be different in the window (Product Line, Sub-Product Line, Unit Price, images). Other fields (such as non-cannabis type, brand, color, etc.) can be changed on the new product afterwards.
Then Select “Clone & open”. You’ll land on the new product to finish the rest, then click “Update” to save any further changes.

Note: "Clone & open" stays disabled until you change the "Product Name" field - this is to prevent users from having multiple products with the same name.
