Adding stock items

👋 this article is part of our getting started guides if you are new to breww and have found this guide without first reading our getting started guide docid\ mdxf f trhvx1layeovsa , you will want to head there first not new to breww? 🚀 this guide might not be quite right for you as it is aimed at your initial setup once you have imported your suppliers, you can import your stock items stock items are the items you purchase in order to produce the products you sell such as ingredients and packaging these can also be items you purchase and later plan to sell, for example, glasses and t shirts for every stock item, you will now also be able to select from one of the suppliers that you have listed in breww a stock item should only be entered into breww once, and against your primary/main supplier for the stock item for the purposes of importing once you have imported all your stock items, you will later be able to select from multiple suppliers for a stock item in the stock items section of breww it is worth noting that this import does not bring in 'stock' of your stock items and is for the purpose of stating what your stock items are to import your stock items, then head to settings → data imports & updates → stock items , and follow the data import guide docid\ b7fbmjkd ke2z7xy3l0kg screenshot 2024 01 30 at 14 55 28|690x290 📗 stock item products one of the fields in the stock items data import is 'sell this stock item' this allows you to create a product that uses the stock item, meaning you can now sell the stock item you have purchased—for example, t shirts and glassware by choosing to sell this stock item , you will be required to enter a standard price, and on completion of the import, you will have a stock item that you can purchase linked to a stock item product you can sell it is worth noting that this import will only allow you to create a one to one link between a stock item and a stock item product (e g 1 x pint glass stock item will equal 1 x pint glass, stock item product), with its standard sale price, and you will need to head to products after the import to add any further details, such as its weight and sku etc breww will automatically add a sku on import, but this can be edited and changed you can enter further details on the stock item product after import by heading to products , choosing a product, and selecting actions > edit if you sell a product at varying prices, then you will be able to create your pricing structure later on in the getting started guide for this product the stock item products importer there is also a stand alone stock item products importer this importer allows you to enter stock item products and link them with multiples of the same stock item; for example, you may have a pint glass set up as a stock item, and this importer will allow you to create a stock item product of 'pint glasses x 12', with 12 individual glasses linked to the stock item product it is worth noting that any stock item products that use a combination of different stock items (e g glass and a t shirt combo) will need to be created via the products tab in breww screenshot 2024 02 08 at 12 01 14|690x296 📗 guest beers if you buy and re sell beers from another business, these are also handled differently via a 'guest beer' product in breww, and these should not be brought into breww via any of the standard beer importers guest beers are made up of a 'guest beer' beer type and a guest beer stock item, which you then sell as a guest beer product to create your guest beer stock items when you are just starting, you can simply enter your guest beer on the stock items import and select the 'sell this stock item' checkbox it is essential that you enter the type correctly here of guest beer , so this is classed as a guest beer product in breww rather than a stock item product if you sell a guest beer in multiple formats, you can also choose to group your guest beer products by a special type of beer, titled “guest beer”, which you can create by heading to production → beers → new beer → guest beer this step is optional, but if done will allow for better grouping and display of guest beers on the breww trade store, as well as other benefits within breww (our breww trade store is covered later in the getting started guide) following this, you will be able to go to stock items , select a guest beer stock item, and select actions > edit , and choose the associated guest beer , and guest beer container type this will group all your stock item products under the guest beer by packaging format it is worth noting that if you are planning to sell individual components of a guest beer, but you receive these in cases, for example, a case of 24 bottles, then the guest beer stock item should be created as a single bottle rather than cases of 24 this will allow you to create guest beer products using single bottles this would mean that instead of receipting for a case of one 24 x 500ml bottles , you should receipt for twenty four 1 x 500ml bottles this will mean you can create guest beer products that will consume the correct number of bottles from your stock item 📗 adding additional suppliers of a stock item now that you have imported your stock items with their main supplier, you will be able to add additional suppliers to a stock item if you head to stock items , select a stock item, and then suppliers > add supplier item details , you will be able to add an additional supplier; this can be repeated if you have further suppliers just getting started with breww? the next guide is managing container types docid\ zcqnhtu3elmnxajujt7f or you can return to the getting started guide docid\ mdxf f trhvx1layeovsa
