PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for mitumba shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for mitumba shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the mitumba shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Secondhand shirt, Secondhand trousers and Secondhand jacket as examples.
Catalogue setup for mitumba shop: decide what one quantity means
Separate one-off garments or practical price groups without pretending that every item is identical. Give exceptional pieces their own price and record.
Create separate entries for the variants customers can buy. A different size or model needs its own stock count, even if it shares a family name with another item.
A starter catalogue to adapt
The figures below are illustrative preset prices, not market quotations. They do not describe your stock. Replace them before trading.
| Item or service | Sale unit | Sample KES price | Opening count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secondhand shirt | piece | 200 | Count actual units |
| Secondhand trousers | piece | 350 | Count actual units |
| Secondhand jacket | piece | 600 | Count actual units |
| Secondhand dress size M | piece | 450 | Count actual units |
| Secondhand skirt size S | piece | 200 | Count actual units |
| Secondhand hoodie size L | piece | 500 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Secondhand shirt has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Secondhand trousers from Secondhand shirt; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Secondhand shirt units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Secondhand shirt units and confirm only that item reduces by two.
- Review the receipt and backup before entering real business records.
Correct the catalogue without hiding a stock difference
If Secondhand shirt was named incorrectly, correct the name. If its quantity is wrong, investigate the count and record an explained adjustment. Editing a price or changing a description does not explain missing units. Keep old transactions readable when deciding how to rename an item.
