Add an item to your catalog

Set up prices, barcodes, favorites and stock in Items.

Before you begin

Connect to the internet and open your store in Orbis Register. Catalog edits need a connection.

Follow the steps

  1. Open Items

    Choose Items in the navigation, or open More → Items. Select New item.

  2. Enter the essentials

    Add the item’s Name and Price. For different sizes or options with their own prices and barcodes, choose Add variation and fill in each variation.

  3. Review sales and stock settings

    Confirm Charge sales tax for the item. Turn on Favorite to make it easier to find at checkout. To keep a count, turn on Track inventory and enter the current stock and low-stock level.

  4. Add the barcode

    Open Codes & modifiers. Scan or type the barcode, keeping any leading zeros. Each barcode should identify one active item or variation.

  5. Save and check

    Choose Save. Find the item in the list and check its price and availability. Search works with an item name, SKU or barcode.

Keep stock warnings useful

A low or zero stock count warns the cashier. Use Mark sold out when the item must be unavailable for sale.

If you need a hand

The save is not confirmed

Follow the on-screen message. Reconnect and refresh Items to check the saved result before trying again.

A barcode already exists

Find the other item using that barcode. Correct the duplicate mapping before saving.
