# Add products, track stock and see what is running low - URL: https://ck.abdohoo.app/help/products-stock-low-stock-alerts - Product: Credit Khata (https://ck.abdohoo.app/) - Section: Shop, staff & products - Updated: 2026-10-11 > Open Products → Add product, enter a name, price and stock, and set Warn when stock falls to. Sales from the list reduce stock; the Low stock filter shows what to reorder. Open **Products** and tap **Add product**. Give it a **Product name** and **Price**, choose how it is **Sold by** (pieces, kg, litres, dozen and so on), add its **Barcode** if it has one, then enter **Stock now** and **Warn when stock falls to**. From then on, every sale of that product at the counter takes it off the count, and the **Low stock** filter lists everything at or below its warning level. Products are optional. The counter works with typed items too; the product list simply makes selling faster and keeps count for you. ## Add a product 1. Open **Products** from the **Run your shop** menu (on a phone, from **Home**). 2. Tap **Add product**. 3. Enter the **Product name** and **Price**, and choose the unit under **Sold by**: **pcs**, **kg**, **g**, **L**, **ml**, **m**, **dozen**, **pack** or **box**. 4. Everything else opens from its own chip, so tap only what you need: - **Barcode**: type it or tap **Scan barcode** to read it with the camera. - **Item code**: your own short code for items without a barcode. - **Cost price**: what you pay for it. It is used for the profit estimate and only the owner and managers see it. - **Category**, such as "Atta & Rice" or "Beverages". Categories become filter chips. 5. To count stock, tap **Stock** and enter **Stock now** (how many you have) and **Warn when stock falls to** (your reorder level). 6. Leave **For sale** on, and tap **Save**. ![The Products screen showing "20 in your catalog", a search box for name, barcode or code, filter chips for Low stock and categories, and each product with its stock and price](https://ck.abdohoo.app/storage/content/library/web-products.webp)Products: stock count, category and barcode under each item, price on the right## Sell from your products On the **Sales** screen, tap a product chip, open **All products**, or tap **Scan** and point the camera at the barcode. The product drops into the basket at its price; change the quantity with **−** and **+**. When the sale is saved, as cash or as credit, the quantity comes off the stock count. See [Book a credit sale at the counter](https://ck.abdohoo.app/help/book-credit-sale-at-counter). If you scan a code that is not in your list, the counter says "Not in your catalog" and an owner or manager can add it on the spot. ## See what is running low Tap the **Low stock** chip on **Products**. The number on the chip is how many products are at or below their **Warn when stock falls to** level, and each one is marked **Low stock**. ![The Products screen filtered to Low stock: Olpers Milk 1L with 7 pcs, Sufi Atta 10kg with 3 pcs and Surf Excel 1kg with 4 pcs, each marked Low stock](https://ck.abdohoo.app/storage/content/library/web-products-low.webp)The Low stock filter: what to reorder before the shelf is emptyCheck this list before you visit your supplier. If you buy stock on credit, you can record that in **Suppliers** so you know what you owe them too. ## Restock or correct the count Tap a product to open it: - **Restock** asks "How many came in?". Enter the new quantity and an optional **Note (optional)**, such as the supplier's bill number. - **Correct stock** takes a **Change (+ or −)**. Use minus for breakage or loss and plus for items found during a count. - **Stock history** lists every movement: **Sold**, **Restocked**, **Corrected** and **Returned**, so you can see where the count came from. **Edit** changes the price, barcode or anything else; **Delete** removes the product from your list. ## On a phone The counter app on a phone has the same **Products** screen, with the barcode scanner and view buttons at the top. ![The Products screen on a phone with Add product, the search box, filter chips and the first products with stock and price](https://ck.abdohoo.app/storage/content/library/mobile-pos-products.webp)Products in the counter app on a phoneIn the Android app, open **Home → Your business → Products** ("Catalog, prices and stock").

No. You can type any item and amount at the counter. Products just make ringing up faster and let the app count your stock. ### Does stock go down when I sell on credit? Yes. Any sale of a product from your list, cash or credit, takes that quantity off its stock count. ### Can I scan barcodes? Yes. Use Scan on the Sales screen or Scan barcode in Products to read a barcode with the camera. You can also type or paste a barcode into the product search. ### Can cashiers add products or change stock? No. Cashiers can see products and sell them. Adding, editing, restocking and correcting stock is for the owner and managers. ### Why do I need a cost price? It is optional. With cost prices, the Profit report can estimate what you made. Only the owner and managers see cost prices.
