Select 'Inventory' if you are selling products and 'Non-inventory if you are providing services. We'll select 'Inventory' for this tutorial.
7. Add 'Department'
Now, add a department for the item you have selected. For example, Pepsi could go in a department called 'drink'; therefore, you can type in drink for this instance. For the purpose of this tutorial, we'll use Point of Sale Systems as our department.
8. Continue to enter 'Item Description' (optional)
You can just go in more details about the item such as how many individual items the package contains or its colour etc. However, when you click in this box, if the department you entered does not yet exist, you'll be prompted to click 'add a department'. When this request pops up, click 'add a department' and continue entering the description.

11. Type in the amount of the item you have in stock
This section is very important. If you sell Pepsi for example, count the individual amount you have in stock and type in this value.

Click 'save and new' if you want to continue adding more items or simply 'save' if you are done adding items.
