On the item editing screen, we can create a New item and configure its Price, Reference, and Barcode, as well as whether it has stock.

On the article editing screen, you can select from the top menu the family whose articles you want to edit, as well as the rate you wish to modify.

The Gallery option offers a gallery of items with images that are already pre-configured in HioPOS Cloud to facilitate your installation and setup, and also to more easily organize the images of the items you are editing.

Select your Type of business And within this, you will find the corresponding families with your initial selection, as well as their items. Select those items you wish to add. HioPOS Cloud includes a wide variety of businesses created by default, which will allow you to configure your terminal with great ease and speed.

Once our gallery items have been imported, to modify one or more items at once, simply check the boxes next to each item you wish to modify, then proceed with the modification.

You can also search for articles using the button Search in the bottom right margin, to directly select the item we want.

The second option at the bottom of the screen allows us to calculate margins

This option is designed for you to set product prices according to their cost and the margin, in real value or absolute value, that you wish to obtain.

First, we will input the product's cost. To this cost, we will add the profit margin we wish to obtain from its sale; the margin can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the product's cost. Once the margin has been added, the software itself will suggest the price at which we should sell it.

We can always modify this price, as well as the other options, to ensure we offer a price that aligns with the margins that interest us most.

As you enter purchases into HioPOS Cloud, the cost of items will update, as the latest purchase cost will always be captured.

The fourth option at the bottom of the screen allows us to assign a tax to each item.

If the items have different taxes, on this screen, assign to each item its corresponding sales tax and purchase tax.

If the same tax applies to all items in the store, it is not necessary to assign the tax item by item in item editing, as you can configure the tax to be applied to all items at the store level. To do this, once the installation process is complete, assign the default tax in the section Default taxes of the Store configuration.

HioPOS Cloud allows adding more than one tax to items, allowing them to be accumulated or not. Their configuration will be done through the section Taxes of Settings, selecting the option New tax.

Once tax creation is configured, the user must apply them to the desired items by navigating to Settings, Articles, Edit articles and we will select the third section (%) from the bottom left margin, which we see in the following image.

Once inside the Tax Assignment screen, if we want to apply an additional tax to an item, we will first select the VAT we wish to apply, and in the second, the other tax, which may or may not be cumulative.

Once the per-item taxes have been configured, we attach as an image the sales receipt for the item configured with the two taxes. We observe that two types are applied, the first being the 21% VAT and the second, the 1% additional tax.

Variants are items or comments that are added to the initial product, in order to customize the item to which they are applied. These variants may have a surcharge or price increase, which would be added to the total cost of the item.

To add variants, they must first have been created in the Variants section of the initial configuration. Variants are created in groups, so a group of variants will be added to an item instead of a single variant.

You can add as many literals as you want within a variant group. As you can also see in the following image, an image can be added to the item to be displayed on the sales screen.

As can be observed, there is the option to create a variant from an article already created in the database or as a free comment, as is the case with "dark" and "light". If we select add article, the application will show us the grid with the families and their respective articles.

A very practical example is suggested selling; if we want to reduce the stock of one of our products, a solution is to create a variant group so that, when totaling a service, it asks us if we want the product.

There is an option to select which variants you want to print to appear on the sales receipt: all, those with a price increase, or none.

The procedure for adding a variant group to an item or service is as follows: select a product that does not have a variant group and then select from the existing list of variant groups the one you want to apply to the product.

Each time a sale of that product or service is made, it will give you a choice between the variants of the group you have added. Examples of variants:

 -Dye color: dark, light...
 - Color gloss: full, half head...

Finally, we will be able to configure the minimum and maximum for our variants so that by selecting just one variant for our product or service, it will automatically advance to the next screen. To do this, we will have to select the table that appears on the right side of the screen.

Once inside, we will be able to configure the minimum and maximum of our variant groups for the product or service.

In this section, a duration (in minutes) will be configured for each service on the price list. These assigned minutes will be taken into account when scheduling the service. For example, as we can see in the following image, performing a seaweed massage will last 20 minutes, so when choosing this service for the client, 20 minutes will be reserved on the calendar. (1)

Additionally, in this option, we will be able to assign each service to the group of employees it belongs to. As we can see in the following image, we will assign massage-related services to that group of employees called "Masseurs". (2)
For more details about the Group of employees, refer to section 2.10 of this manual.

On the calendar screen, employees who do not belong to will appear in brown.The Employee Group “Massage Therapists” also able to schedule an appointment with one of them.

It should be noted that if we are processing a customer sale and select a service that is not assigned to an Employee Group, when scheduling, instead of choosing by Group, you will be able to choose from all sellers configured for that establishment.
