Once you have created a New Product you will be brought to the Product Maintenance screen which allows you to configure your product in more detail. (We can access this Product Maintenance screen at any time by searching the product name on the main screen)

Product Page

• When you scan a barcode into the top search bar or type in a product name in the top search bar and select a product, or when you choose Go to Product from Advanced Search or Reports, you will be brought to the main Product Page for that product. This is where you can carry out Product Maintenance to update or view information about Products e.g. Cost Prices, Preferred Supplier, etc...

• You can also carry out Product Maintenance in bulk using Advanced Search or Product Updates. Please see the relevant Help File sections for these modules.

• Product Maintenance consists of a number of different pages relating to various areas of a product's information. Instead of throwing it all together in one confusing page, you can use the menu on the left hand side of the module to navigate through the various pages.

As displayed below, the Product Maintenance screen is split into 12 different tabs:
