Create a stockable product

A stockable product is a good whose quantity and value SynkriaOps tracks. This is the product type that triggers stock movements on every purchase, sale or adjustment: unlike a service, a consumable or a package.

The four product types

Type	Stock tracking?	Example
Stockable good	Yes	Bag of cement, bottle, spare part
Consumable	No	Office supplies not resold
Service	No	Labour, professional service
Package	No	Subscription, bundle

Creating the product

Open the form

Operations → Catalog → New product.
Choose the type

Select Stockable good. The stock sections appear.

Fill in the identity

Field	Required	Description
Name	Required	The product’s commercial name
SKU / reference	Recommended	Unique reference in your company file
EAN-13 barcode	Optional	Validated automatically; used for mobile scanning
Unit of measure	Recommended	Unit, kg, litre, box…
Category / group	Optional	To group and filter your products

Set prices and VAT

Enter the purchase price, the sales price excl. VAT in XAF and the applicable VAT rate (by default, your regime’s: 19.25% in Cameroon).
Check the SYSCOHADA accounts

SynkriaOps suggests default accounts:
- a product account (class 7) for sales: for example 701;
- a stock account (class 3): for example 311.
Adjust them if your chart of accounts requires it.
Save

Click Save. The product is created with an initial quantity of zero. To stock it up, see Movements & valuation or go through a supplier invoice.

Create several products at once

For a large catalogue, two faster options:

CSV import: prepare a file from the downloadable template, then import (preview then batch validation). See Import an invoice via OCR for the assisted-import logic.
Mass catalogue scan (mobile): scan a list of items to create them in a batch. See Inventory campaigns & scanning.
