PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for solar products shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for solar products shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the solar products shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Solar lantern, Solar panel model 100 W and Charge controller as examples.
Catalogue setup for solar products shop: decide what one quantity means
Record panel rating, inverter model and battery specification. Installation labour should be a separate agreed service item.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar lantern | piece | 1,800 | Count actual units |
| Solar panel model 100 W | piece | 6,500 | Count actual units |
| Charge controller | piece | 2,200 | Count actual units |
| Solar cable pre-cut 5 m | fixed cut | 650 | Count actual units |
| Solar bulb kit | piece | 2,200 | Count actual units |
| DC connector pair | pair | 250 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Solar lantern has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Solar panel model 100 W from Solar lantern; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Solar lantern units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Solar lantern 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 Solar lantern 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.
