Product settings
This screen is your product catalog for items that work as ingredients in dishes and semifinished goods and as stock items: balances move on Storages, you create Supply documents and run Inventory against them.
The page is on the Pro plan. The worker profile needs Menu and product settings — otherwise the menu entry is hidden.
Why fill in each product
- One source of truth for kitchen and warehouse — units and packaging match how you count stock and cost.
- Purchase price feeds stock valuation and movement screens (and reporting where applicable).
- Supplier groups lines when starting supply from aggregated balances and helps filter the catalog.
- Minimum and recommended quantities drive warnings on the All storages balances tab and suggested lines when prefilling supply.
Semifinished settings are a separate catalog for in-house production — do not mix with this product list.
How to open it
In the sidebar, under Settings, choose Products.
Product list
Search by name, filter by category or supplier, review unit, packaging (quantity per purchase pack), article code, and open edit.
Add a product opens the same form as the row edit control, for a new record.
Product form
The dialog title is Product. For a new item the primary button is Add; for an existing one — Save changes.
Fields
| Field | Role |
|---|---|
| Image | Visual distinction in the list; stored in app file storage. |
| Name | Required. You cannot create two products with the same name in one venue — a duplicate error appears. |
| Category | Free text with autocomplete from categories already used. |
| Unit | pc, g, or ml — drives how quantities display in stock and in the threshold fields. |
| Quantity per package | Optional: how many units are in one purchase pack (e.g. one bottle = 700 ml). Helps enter quantities faster. |
| Provider | Text with autocomplete from existing suppliers; you can type a new one. |
| Article | Internal or supplier code for search and paperwork. |
| Price | Typical purchase price per unit of measure (not necessarily per multi-unit pack unless your process says otherwise). When you change price on an existing product, the form may show the previous price as helper text. |
Minimum and recommended quantity
Below price you will see Minimum stock (all stores) and Recommended quantity (all stores):
- Values use the same units as the product (including packaging-aware entry where the form supports it).
- Clearing the field or entering a value below the allowed minimum turns that threshold off (no control from that field).
- Minimum feeds low-stock highlighting and the below minimum counter on aggregated balances across storages.
- Recommended quantity participates together with minimum when the app suggests quantities while creating supply from deficient catalog products on the aggregated balances screen.
Delete
Saved products show Remove — you must confirm. Delete only when the item is truly obsolete for recipes and stock; otherwise consider keeping the card and stopping purchases manually.
