PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for fabric shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for fabric shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the fabric shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Cotton pre-cut 1 m, Ankara pre-cut 3 m and Lining pre-cut 1 m as examples.
Catalogue setup for fabric shop: decide what one quantity means
Use fixed pre-cut pieces or clearly defined whole units. Include fabric type, colour and width in descriptions.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton pre-cut 1 m | fixed cut | 400 | Count actual units |
| Ankara pre-cut 3 m | fixed cut | 1,500 | Count actual units |
| Lining pre-cut 1 m | fixed cut | 200 | Count actual units |
| Denim pre-cut 1 m | fixed cut | 650 | Count actual units |
| Kitenge pre-cut 6 m | fixed cut | 2,200 | Count actual units |
| Satin pre-cut 1 m | fixed cut | 450 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Cotton pre-cut 1 m has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Ankara pre-cut 3 m from Cotton pre-cut 1 m; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Cotton pre-cut 1 m units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Cotton pre-cut 1 m 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 Cotton pre-cut 1 m 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.
