Getting Started

Welcome to ManageRegister! Follow this quick setup guide to get your system ready for accurate inventory and sales tracking.

1. Configure General Settings​

Start by setting up your business profile:

  • Go to Settings > General.
  • In the About section, set your Business Type and Currency.
  • Then switch to the Profile section and set your Timezone.

Accurate settings here ensure your reports and logs reflect the correct time and financial format.

2. Set Up Categories​

Before adding products, it's helpful to create one or more Categories. This allows you to group products for better organization and filtering.

  • Go to Inventory > Categories to add your categories.

3. Add Products​

Once categories are set:

  • Navigate to Inventory > Products.
  • Add each product, assigning it to a category and setting its details (name, price, etc).

4. Document Purchases (Do Not Manually Edit Quantity)​

To increase product stock levels, do not manually edit the quantity field. Instead:

  • Go to Inventory > Purchases.
  • Log each new stock purchase there, selecting the product and entering the quantity and purchase details.

⚠️ This is important: Only documenting purchases ensures accurate stock history, cost tracking, and inventory reporting. Manually changing quantities will result in incorrect inventory levels and broken reports.

You’re now ready to start using ManageRegister to track inventory and sales. If you run into questions, reach out through support.
