Adding a New Item
You can easily populate your price book by scanning the items' barcodes and configuring their settings directly in the Retail 360 Mobile app. To fasten the price book setup process, you can also use already configured items from the Golden Price Book, if any are found and suggested by the system.
To add a new item to your price book via the Retail 360 Mobile app:
- Scan the item's barcode.
- From the main Retail 360 Mobile menu, go to Locations.
- In the Locations list, tap the location you need.
- In the Items menu, use the barcode scanner to scan the item's barcode.
- Make sure the green-colored item's code is displayed, what means that the barcode is recognized by the system.
- Configure mandatory item settings.
- Tap the green-colored item's code, to open the item setup form.
- In the item setup form, fill in the following settings highlighted in red:
If the green-colored item's code is not displayed, try to scan the item's barcode once again by placing your device closer to it.
- Unit Size
- Unit Retail
- Description
- CR Description
- Category
- CR Department
If the item with the scanned barcode already exists in the Golden Price Book, the system will display such item in the item setup form. In this case, you will need only to check its settings and adjust them a bit, if needed.
Examples of the scanned items found in the Global Price BookIn case the scanned item was found in the Golden Price Book, you can view the following system suggestions with the item preconfigured settings:
- Exact match: When the scanned item was found in the Golden Price Book. The category and CR department of this item were suggested by the system as fully matched.
- Almost exact match: When the scanned item was found in the Golden Price Book, but its category and CR department were suggested by the system based on keywords as almost fully matched.
- No match: When the scanned item was found in the Golden Price Book, but there were no keywords for the system to suggest the appropriate category and CR department for such item.
In all cases, make sure you have checked the item settings and adjusted them, if needed, before adding the item into your price book.
- Configure other item settings, if needed.
- Save configured item to your price book.
- Add the item to the basket by swiping down from the item's image to the bottom of the screen.
- Make sure the successful message is displayed and newly added item is displayed in the New Basket section.
