How do I add an item?
Efficiently Expanding Your Product List with XSite
Introduction
This section provides detailed instructions for adding an item to the inventory using XSite. Prior to starting this process, ensure you have all necessary information regarding the item, such as cost, supplier details, tax obligations, and the purchasing format (e.g., case, carton, or single units). Incomplete data can be updated subsequently, but it is advisable to have all details on hand to streamline the item addition.
It is recommended to purchase a scanner that can easily scan and input items directly into XSite. We recommend the following Scanner. If you have trouble setting up the scanner, don't hesitate to reach out to XSite for support.
