# Add a new product

> Add a product in a four-step form: name, category, unit and prices, then opening stock, how it sells, and its SKU, barcode and photo.

Products are added in a four-step form: **Basics**, **Stock**, **Selling** and **Details**. Only the first step (the name and the prices) is required to save; the rest can come later. Once saved, the product is ready to sell at the till.

## Before you begin

- You need permission to manage products. The **Owner**, **Admin** and **Staff** roles all have it.
- Your plan allows a certain number of products; when it is used up, no new product can be added.

## Open the product form

The quickest way: on the Dashboard, choose **Add product** under **Quick actions**. Or from the product list:

**On a computer:**
1. Open **Products** in the menu on the left.
2. Click **Add product** at the top right.

**On a phone or tablet:**
1. Open **Products** from **Menu** at the bottom.
2. Tap the round green button in the middle at the bottom.

## Step 1: Basics

1. Type the **Product name**. If you type it in English, add the **Bangla name** too: the till shows it when the app is in বাংলা.
2. Choose the **Category**. For a new one, tap the **+** beside it and create it there.
3. Choose the **Unit**. A new shop has only pieces; for kilograms, litres or another unit, tap the **+** beside it: **Add unit**.
4. Type the **Cost price** (what you pay) and the **Sale price** (what you charge).

5. Choose **Next**. To save with just this much, choose **Save now**.

## Step 2: Stock

1. **Opening stock**: how much you have now. It can only be entered when the product is added.
2. **Low stock alert**: Tukri warns you when the stock is at or below this number.
3. For goods with an expiry date, such as medicine or food, turn on **Track batches & expiry**. For goods you weigh or measure, such as rice or lentils, turn on **Sell loose / by weight**.

4. Choose **Next**.

## Step 3: Selling

Choose these only if you need them:

- **This product has variants**: sizes or colours of one product, each with its own price and stock.
- **Pack & bulk units**: buying and selling by the box or carton as well as by the piece.

Other features your shop has turned on, such as installments or warranty, add their fields here. If you need none of them, choose **Next** without changing anything.

## Step 4: Details

1. **SKU**: Leave blank to auto-generate. Tukri gives a 13-digit number that also prints as a barcode.
2. If the pack has the maker's barcode, type it in **Barcode**, or scan it with the camera button beside the field.
3. Add a **Photo** if you like; after you choose one, you are asked to crop it square.
4. Choose **Save**.

## After saving

The product appears in the list and at the till straight away, with the opening stock you entered.

Later, raise the stock by [recording a purchase](https://tukri.bd/help/record-a-purchase) when new goods arrive, and [adjust it](https://tukri.bd/help/stock-adjustment) when a count is wrong. To change the price or name, see [Edit a product](https://tukri.bd/help/edit-a-product).

## If something goes wrong

**A new product will not save and the plan limit is mentioned.** Your plan's number of products is used up. For more products, choose a bigger plan: [Your plan](https://tukri.bd/help/plan-and-subscription).

**The SKU is refused.** Another product in the shop, deleted ones included, already has it. Type a different SKU, or leave it blank.

**The unit cannot be changed.** Once the product's stock has been bought, sold or adjusted, its unit is fixed.

**There is no opening stock field when editing.** Opening stock is only for adding. After that, stock changes through purchases, sales and adjustments.
