Catalogue setup for garden supplies shop: decide what one quantity means
Different pot sizes, tool models and packaged growing media should have separate item names and units.
Use the labelled sale pack and enter supplier and batch information where applicable. The catalogue is a stock record, not permission to dispense or supply regulated goods.
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.

| Potting soil bag | bag | 450 | Count actual units |
| Pruning shear | piece | 850 | Count actual units |

Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Seedling tray has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Potting soil bag from Seedling tray; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Seedling tray units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Seedling tray 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 Seedling tray 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.
