Before you start
Inventory Management must be enabled for your store. If Inventory / Ingredient is locked in the left menu, or the page shows an introduction with an Activate, Compare plans or I'm interested! button, it is not enabled yet.
Create the product first. See How to Create Tabs, Categories and Products in QashierHQ.
Turn on Track Inventory for one product
Log in to QashierHQ. In the left menu, under Products & Inventory, click Product Management.
Select your store, open the tab and category, then click the product you want to track. In this example, Double QashierBurger.
Tick Track Inventory.
Click Confirm.
To stop tracking a product, untick Track Inventory and click Confirm. QashierHQ warns This action will reset the stock quantity of this item to 0. Click Confirm again to go ahead.
Turn on Track Inventory for many products at once
In Product Management, click Shortcut, then Track Inventory Shortcut.
Pick the tab that holds the categories you want to change.
Select the categories, then click Track Inventory On (or Track Inventory Off). This changes the setting for every product in those categories.
If you create products from an Excel template, the template also has a Track Inventory column. See How to Create Products in Bulk from an Excel Template in QashierHQ.
What you should see
Under Products & Inventory, click Inventory / Ingredient and stay on the Inventory tab. The product is now in the list and is counted in Total tracked. Use the search box to find it by name, SKU or barcode.
The page reminds you that Products with 'Track Inventory' enabled in Product Management appear here automatically.
On Qashier POS, the product appears under Inventory Management and its count goes down with every sale.
