Add a product or service

Open Stock and choose the Products or Services tab. Select the add action for the item you need.
Enter a clear name, unit and currency. Check selling price and purchase cost; accurate costs are needed for useful profit figures.
For physical products, enable stock tracking when you want quantities monitored. Set the opening quantity and low-stock threshold.
Add the barcode and other available details if you use them. Save and check the product appears in Stock.

Use the same unit consistently. If stock is counted in kilograms, sale and purchase quantities must also use that unit.
Sales of tracked stock respect the available quantity, including quantities already selected in the editor. Direct quantity input is checked too.
Purchases add stock. Returns and corrections must refer to the original transaction and its eligible quantity.
Use a stock adjustment for a genuine count correction and explain why. Do not invent a purchase or sale to hide a counting error.

Allow camera access when scanning and use a supported browser or the installed app. Check the barcode is linked to the correct product.
Use the product picker or search if the camera cannot open, permission is denied, or the barcode cannot be read.
Review low-stock products regularly. An alert threshold helps you notice shortages; it does not reorder goods automatically.
