POS - Inventory Management: Creating Products
Updated
Managing Product Inventory in Cultivera POS
Product defines what inventory gets assigned to. The information assigned to any product will reflect what inventory details will appear at the point of sale terminal.
Creating a Product is the process of recording base information for an item you carry in the shop.
Every state has specific rules for what product information needs to be recorded and assigned correctly. Cultivera POS has implemented many features to facilitate both client and state product standards.
