# How To: Add Products _By Brandon Munn · Nov 27, 2024_ You will want to set up your **Product Brands** before the finished **Products**. A **Product Brand** groups together **Products** for reporting and labelling. These would commonly represent a liquid that is sold in different packaging formats. Go to **Stock** → **Product Brands**, then click **Create Product Brand**. These details will be used across all **Products** that have this brand selected. **Products** are the goods that you will be selling to customers. These are found under **Stock** → **Products**. Click **Create New Product** at the bottom right. Similar to the **Basic Details** when creating a **Material**, there are fields in each card marked with an asterisk (\*) that must be filled before continuing. #### **Add Product Details**. - **Product Name** - This is the full display name of the **Product**, and will be shown on the invoices for customers. - **Product Code** - A short code to identify the **Product**. Please note that this may have to match a code you already have in your accounts package. The field has a maximum of 14 characters and must be unique. - **Alcohol Type** - Using the dropdown menu, select the correct type of alcohol for duty purposes. If the **Product** is not alcoholic, for example, pump clips, choose **None**. - **Package Type** - Select from the dropdown menu of package types. If your desired **Package Type** is not in this list, you will need to create it under **Administration** - **Settings** - **Products**. - **Stock Tracked** - When set to **Yes**, the system will produce transaction audits for any stock movements, and will allow you to see when stock comes in and out. For any **Products** that are not kept in physical stock, such as a delivery charge, you would select **No**. - \***Stock Group** - This allows you to categorise your stock outside of **Product Brands**, such as a merchandise group for t-shirts and bottle openers - This is only an option for stock tracked items. - **Delivery Batch Tracked** - When set to yes, the system will not track the stock of individual batches but will ask for the batch number of a **Product** upon delivery, or if it is a material, when it is used in **Production**. This will enable traceability of this item without having to track the stock prior to using it.
