Building a scalable enterprise starts with clean product data. In modern supply chains and multi-vendor networks, incorrect cataloging leads to stockouts, accounting discrepancies, and lost sales. In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to register and structure your first base product in Rabia—setting up barcode generation, tracking rules, unit conversions, and cost structures effortlessly.
Core Rule: Flexible SKU & Category Hierarchy
Rabia separates base products from specific variants or packaged units. This ensures your warehouse manages precise physical quantities while your sales reps can execute fast billing using wholesale or retail packaging.
Step-by-Step Base Product Registration
To register a new item in Rabia, follow these quick operational steps:
- Navigate to Inventory Catalog: Open the main control panel and select 'Product & Stock Management'.
- Enter Master Details: Input the primary product name (Arabic/English), brand name, and assigned main category.
- Assign Barcode & SKU: Auto-generate an internal SKU or scan the manufacturer barcode for quick POS identification.
- Define Stock & Minimum Thresholds: Set safety stock alerts so the system notifies procurement before inventory runs out.
Multi-Unit Conversion & Pricing Logic
One of Rabia's strongest features is multi-unit inventory mapping. You can store items in bulk (e.g., Cartons or Pallets) while enabling field reps to sell in smaller trade units (e.g., Boxes or Individual Pieces).
When registering units, you simply define the Conversion Ratio (e.g., 1 Carton = 24 Pieces). The system automatically converts costs, updates stock balances across warehouses, and enforces retail margin limits.
