01 / BUILD THE CATALOGUE FOUNDATION

Organise items with parent categories and defined types.

Create a catalogue structure that can grow. Categories may have parent categories, while item types provide another clear definition for how the organisation classifies its products and services.

  • Parent-child item-category hierarchy
  • Reusable item-type definitions
  • Consistent catalogue classification
  • Clearer lists, reporting and item selection
ITEM CATEGORYBuild a scalable parent-child structure.

ITEM TYPEDefine how items are classified.

02 / CONFIGURE WHAT YOU SELL

Add choices, build sets and assign the right price.

Use item options when a customer can customise the purchase—for example adding rice for RM 1 or noodles for RM 2. Collect several items into a set by creating a composite item, then maintain multiple prices by location, valid period or membership category.

  • Selectable options and add-ons
  • Option-level price adjustments
  • Composite items sold as sets
  • Multiple prices per item
  • Branch, time-period and member pricing
ITEM OPTIONSAdd configurable choices.

03 / MAINTAIN THE ITEM MASTER

Manage the catalogue from list to detailed item record.

Use the item list as the central working view, open the detailed editor to control sales, stock, serial and composite settings, and generate a PDF item list when an offline or shareable reference is required.

  • Searchable item master list
  • Detailed item editing
  • Serial-control and composite flags
  • Printable item-list PDF

04 / DEFINE IDENTIFICATION & LOCATION

Interpret barcodes and organise stock by branch.

Configure barcode splitting positions when sections of a scanned code carry different information. Define the locations where items are held—most commonly branches—so pricing and on-hand quantities can be understood in the right operational context.

  • Barcode splitting-position setup
  • Consistent scanned-code interpretation
  • Location and branch master list
  • Foundation for location pricing and stock

LOCATION LISTOrganise stock locations and branches.

05 / RECEIVE SERIAL-CONTROLLED STOCK

Trace every serial while preserving each receipt as a batch.

Enable the serial-control flag in the item editor before receiving. When stock arrives, enter its serial-number list. Every receiving transaction becomes one batch, regardless of how many items it contains, giving the team a clear intake history.

  • Serial-control flag on the item
  • Serial-number entry during receiving
  • Central serial-number list
  • Every receipt stored as one batch
  • Batch-level intake traceability
Receiving rule

One receiving transaction = one batch, whether the receipt contains one unit or many units.

06 / CONTROL ON-HAND & REORDER

Know what is available and prompt replenishment before it becomes urgent.

Use the on-hand summary for stock visibility and print it as a physical stock-count worksheet. Configure reorder reminders through the central reminder channel so responsible colleagues receive an email when replenishment action is needed.

  • Item on-hand summary
  • Printable physical stock-count list
  • Configurable reorder reminder
  • Email notification to responsible staff
  • Branch-aware replenishment context

07 / TRACE, REPORT & FORECAST

Understand how stock moved and what may be sellable next.

Transaction history explains how an item reached its current balance. The items dashboard then shows sellability and period performance for forward planning.

DEMANDWhich items move fastest?Compare transaction and selling patterns by item and period.
