How to add a product in Nafaa
Add a new item to your shop in three short steps: name and category, cost and selling price, and the stock you have today. The product then shows on the POS counter, in search, on barcode labels and in every stock and profit report.
Updated
Every bill, stock count and profit figure in Nafaa starts with a product. A product has a name, a selling price, a cost and a stock quantity, plus optional details such as category, brand, barcode, packs and photos.
Open Products in the sidebar (the page header reads Maal) and press Naya (new), or press the N key on that page. The editor has three steps on the left: Pehchaan (identity), Qeemat (price) and Stock. You can save from any step with Ctrl + S.
If you have a long list in Excel, adding products one by one is slow. Use bulk import instead.
Add a product
Step 1: Open the editor
Go to Products and press Naya. The page title shows Naya product with your business type.
Step 2: Write the name
Type the name the way customers ask for it, for example "Surf Excel 1kg". This name is used in POS search, on the bill and on labels.
Step 3: Pick a category and unit
Tap a category chip or type a new one. Under Kis hisaab se bikti hai (how it sells), choose Adad (pcs), Kilo, Litre and so on. Stock and price are counted in this unit.
Step 4: Add a barcode or SKU
Scan the barcode printed on the item with Scan, or type it. Leave SKU (apna code) empty or press Auto to make one.
Step 5: Set the price
Press Aage (next). Enter Cost (what one unit costs you) and Bechne ki qeemat (selling price). Nafaa shows the profit per unit and the margin as you type.
Step 6: Enter opening stock
On the Stock step, write how many you have on the shelf under Shuru ka stock, and set Kam stock ki had (low stock level) if you want an alert.
Step 7: Save
Press Bana dein (create) or Ctrl + S. The product is ready to sell on the POS counter.
- Three steps

Questions
Can I add a product without a barcode?
Yes. Only the name, unit and selling price are needed. You can find the product at the counter by name, and print a barcode label for it later from Barcode labels.
What if I leave the cost empty?
The product still sells, but profit reports cannot show a correct profit for it. Add the cost when you know it, or record a purchase, which sets the average cost.
Can I hide a product without deleting it?
Yes. Turn off Chalu (active) on the first step. The product stops showing on the POS but its sales history stays.
