Overview
Items that sell well in POS usually have clean names, correct codes, reliable pricing, and search-friendly setup. This guide focuses on the product side of POS readiness.
Where To Find It
Path: POS > Inventory > Product Details and Inventory > Product Details
Use the product screens when a retail item needs to be created, reviewed, or corrected for proper POS selling.
How It Works
QBM uses the core product setup and the POS-specific product detail behavior to help counters find and sell items correctly. The better the product setup, the smoother the sale.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Item identification | Includes item name, code, barcode, and other search-friendly identifiers. | Use it so cashiers can find the item quickly by scan or search. |
| Selling readiness | Confirms the item is active, belongs to the right store logic, and can be sold from POS. | Use it when an item is missing or behaving incorrectly at the counter. |
| Price and quantity behavior | Controls the selling price and, where relevant, how quantity or unit behavior works. | Use it when the item price or quantity handling needs correction before live sales. |
Recommended Workflow
- Open the product detail for the item that should be available in POS.
- Review the name, code, and barcode or search terms.
- Confirm the item is active and correctly assigned for the business location or selling flow.
- Review the selling price and any quantity-specific behavior.
- Test the item in POS search or by barcode after saving changes.
Best Practice
- Keep product names short enough for fast cashier reading without losing clarity.
- Use consistent barcode and item-code standards across stores.
- Re-test high-volume items immediately after any setup change.
