Add Items to the Store

Enter the Item #/Barcode. The Item # can be numbers, letters, or a combination of both (15 characters max.). An item can be entered manually or with a Barcode Scanner. If using a Barcode Scanner, put the cursor in the Item #/Barcode box and scan the item's barcode.

Jackrabbit recommends that each Item # be unique, however, allowing duplicated Item #'s does provide flexibility.

• You might have one Item # for an item that comes in various colors and sizes. The Item might be created multiple times with the same Item # but each description and price might be different. Example: A sweatshirt has the same Item #/Barcode but comes in both Child & Adult sizes with different pricing. Create the Item #/Barcode twice and include the size in the Item #. Add a description (Sweatshirt - Child / Sweatshirt  -Adult) and the correct price.
• If the same items are sold at different locations, you can create the Item multiple times with a  different description and price as needed. Example: Water bottles have the same Item #/Barcode at all locations. Use the same Item # but enter the location in the Description to differentiate between items (Water  Bottle - Loc A, Water Bottle - Loc B, etc.). This will assist you in tracking inventory by location.

If you do use duplicate Item #'s, keep in mind that it is VERY important that the correct item is selected when posting a fee in order to maintain inventory count accuracy.

Enter the name of the item.

This field allows for inventory management for an item.  When set to No, Qty on Hand and Re-Order Alert Qty are hidden, and the item will not appear on the Dashboard Alert or report for Re-Order Alert Qty. (See Re-Order Alert Quantity Report.)

Enter the number of items in the physical inventory. Enter the beginning quantity for each item. Every time an item is sold, the Qty on Hand will be reduced. Anytime new inventory is received, edit the item (Store menu > Items > click the pencil to open Edit Item pop-up) and increase the Qty on Hand. Whenever an item is returned, the returned quantity of the item will be added back to Qty on Hand.

Enter a description if applicable.

A Store Item can be active or inactive. Change items you are no longer selling to Inactive. This will exclude them from the Search/Select Item screen when making a sale and will also exclude them from the Executive Dashboard Alert Items at or below Re-Order Alert Qty.

Enter the price your customers will pay for this item (without tax).

Select the appropriate tax rate from the drop-down list. The drop-down values in the list can be edited if needed from the Gear icon > Settings > General > Drop-down Lists > Item Tax Rates.

Note: Contact Support to Submit a Ticket or Live Chat if you need to change tax rates for multiple items. We can save you a ton of time!

Select a vendor from the drop-down list. The vendor item # is typically the number or code used by the vendor to identify the item and is useful when placing orders.

Enter your cost for the item.

This field helps you with inventory management. When the quantity on hand reaches this number, it’s time to order more of the item. For example,  if you want to order more logo t-shirts when there are 10 left (quantity on hand). The re-order alert quantity would be 10.
