How to activate inventory tracking for an item in Mews POS

Inventory tracked products are items you hold in your inventory. They typically are not directly sellable to guests. This includes ingredients used in recipes or items you sell to guests differently to how you store or purchase them. For example, if you buy butter but only use it in recipes, or buy whiskey by the bottle but sell it by the measure.

When you activate inventory tracking on a product, you configure additional options such as quantity and inventory unit.

 

To activate inventory tracking for a product from the Mews POS web dashboard, 

1. In the web Dashboard, click Inventory.
2. Click Products, then click a product.
3. In the side-window, click . Note: You can click   to maximize the window.

4. Scroll down to the Warehouse section.
5. Inventory tracking: Click the slider switch to enable inventory tracking for this product, once you enable it, configure the following options:
1. Inventory unit: The measurement unit you use to track the product in inventory. For example, kilograms, bottle or piece.
2. Inventory quantity: The quantity of the product as you track it in inventory. For example, if you track your oats by the kilogram, the inventory quantity is 1, and the inventory unit is kilogram. If you track slices of bread in pairs, the inventory quantity is 2, and the inventory unit is piece.

This enables inventory tracking for a product.
