Items in Fred Office Plus

Fred Office Plus

Use Items to create new item stock cards and adjust existing stock cards in your store. The search field can be used to find items by description, alias or reorder number. Items can then be opened by double-clicking on them or right-clicking and selecting Open Item. New items are created via the Create Item Wizard (accessible from the toolbar).

Column chooser can also be used here to customise the columns displayed and the quick action wizard (for bulk edits) is available by right-clicking. The Item Summary pane is available at the lower section of screen.

Once an item card is opened (by double-clicking or by right-clicking) you will notice the item stock card has been organised into sections to aid quick navigation.
