Items

The items guide is the central catalog of all products, semi-finished goods, dishes, and services in the system.

How to Access

Navigate to: Sidebar > Guides > Items

Route: /warehouse/guides/s_items

Quick actions:

• Open list
• Create new

Overview

The items guide has a hierarchical structure: items are organized by groups (folders). You can create groups for convenient classification and add items within them.

Items List

Columns

Column	Description
No.	Internal number
Name	Item or group name
Barcode	Primary barcode
Article	Item article/SKU
Price	Item price
Unit	Unit of measurement
In Menu	Used in POS menu (Yes/No)
Photo	Item image

Group Navigation

• Click a group (folder) to enter it.
• Click ".." or use breadcrumbs to go up a level.
• Use search to quickly find an item by name.

NKT Bulk Update

If the NKT (National Product Catalog) feature is active, a Bulk NKT Update button is available for automatically filling NKT codes for items.

Archiving

The Archive button clears items that are no longer in use out of the active guide. The system finds the matching items itself, based on the conditions you choose:

• Items with no movement — no warehouse operations for the given number of days or more (30 by default).
• Items with zero stock — the balance is zero across every warehouse.

At least one condition is required. Select items or groups to limit the check to them (selecting a group checks the items inside it); with nothing selected the check covers the whole guide, which can take a while on a large catalogue.

Press Check first: you get the list of what would be archived and how many items that is. Archiving happens only after you confirm that list.

Archived items go to the deleted ones — they remain visible through the "show deleted" toggle and can be restored from there.

FAQ

What is the difference between a group and an item?

A group is a folder for organizing items. It cannot be added to documents. Items can be nested in groups to any depth.

How do I add an item photo?

Open the item card, go to the Images tab, and upload a photo.

What is NKT?

NKT is the National Product Catalog. When enabled, items can be linked to the Kazakhstan-wide catalog for electronic invoicing.

How do I change the type of an existing item (piece, weighted, service, ingredient)?

The type is changed in the item's own card — you do not need to re-create the item:

1. Open Items and open the item card.
2. On the Main tab, in the Item type block, pick the type: Piece goods, Weighted goods, Service, Combo, Dish, Semi-finished, Ingredient or Extended item.
3. Click Save.

The type decides which fields and tabs the card shows: for example, the Calculations tab exists only for a dish and a semi-finished product. A Service is not stored in a warehouse and is not deducted from stock. Extended item shows every field at once and does not change the item's settings. How to create an ingredient and add it to a recipe — see Calculations / Recipes.
