PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for printing bureau POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for printing bureau explains the daily checks. Prepare the printing bureau catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses A4 colour print, A3 print and Lamination A4 as examples.
Catalogue setup for printing bureau: decide what one quantity means
Different paper sizes, finishes and fixed print services need separate prices. State whether the quantity means copies, pages or complete jobs.
Define the service being charged and its fixed unit. Recording one service sale does not reserve an appointment, create a job card or track an item left for repair.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| A4 colour print | slot | 50 | Count actual units |
| A3 print | slot | 100 | Count actual units |
| Lamination A4 | slot | 100 | Count actual units |
| Business card pack 100 standard | pack | 1,200 | Count actual units |

| Poster A2 single | slot | 300 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that A4 colour print has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish A3 print from A4 colour print; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable A4 colour print units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two A4 colour print 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 A4 colour print 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.
