PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for battery shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for battery shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the battery shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses AA battery pack, Rechargeable battery pack and Car battery model as examples.
Catalogue setup for battery shop: decide what one quantity means
Distinguish voltage, capacity and model so visually similar batteries cannot be confused. Record whether a sale includes a separate service charge.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA battery pack | pack | 150 | Count actual units |
| Rechargeable battery pack | pack | 650 | Count actual units |
| Car battery model | piece | 9,500 | Count actual units |
| AAA battery pack 4 | pack | 180 | Count actual units |
| Coin cell CR2032 single | piece | 100 | Count actual units |
| Motorcycle battery model A | piece | 2,800 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that AA battery pack has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Rechargeable battery pack from AA battery pack; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable AA battery pack units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two AA battery pack 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 AA battery pack 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.

Product fit for this business
Separate sizes, colours and models can use separate items. Serial numbers, IMEI custody, warranty and repair ledgers are not included.
All amounts and product movements on this page are illustrative. The public demo uses sample records. Use an isolated test installation for rehearsal and replace sample prices and counts before real trading.
