PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for glass and aluminium shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for glass and aluminium shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the glass and aluminium shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Glass pane fixed size, Aluminium handle and Window roller pair as examples.
Catalogue setup for glass and aluminium shop: decide what one quantity means
Sell standard finished pieces or defined fixed services with dimensions in their names. Keep accessories separate.
Describe the actual pack the customer receives. Avoid using the same entry for a sealed box and a loose piece unless the chosen stock workflow explicitly supports that conversion.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glass pane fixed size | piece | 1,500 | Count actual units |
| Aluminium handle | piece | 400 | Count actual units |
| Window roller pair | pair | 350 | Count actual units |
| Glass pane fixed 30×30 cm | piece | 450 | Count actual units |
| Silicone tube 300 ml | fixed pack | 350 | Count actual units |
| Aluminium hinge pair | pair | 450 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Glass pane fixed size has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Aluminium handle from Glass pane fixed size; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Glass pane fixed size units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Glass pane fixed size 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 Glass pane fixed size 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.

Use defined whole units and packs. The software is not a complete specialist ERP or double-entry accounting system.
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.
