PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for computer shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for computer shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the computer shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Keyboard, Mouse and Laptop stand as examples.
Catalogue setup for computer shop: decide what one quantity means
Include processor, memory, storage and model in device descriptions. Accessories and installation services should be separate line items.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyboard | piece | 1,200 | Count actual units |
| Mouse | piece | 650 | Count actual units |
| Laptop stand | piece | 1,800 | Count actual units |
| USB flash drive 32 GB | piece | 650 | Count actual units |
| Laptop sleeve 15 inch | piece | 850 | Count actual units |
| Webcam model A | piece | 2,200 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Keyboard has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Mouse from Keyboard; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Keyboard units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Keyboard 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 Keyboard 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.

These checkboxes are a temporary reading aid. Refreshing the page clears them.
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.
