Edit Products

This page will provide you with an overview of the Edit Products menu and its sections

Overview

The Accounting > Edit Products section will let you view all default or existing products added in Paradigm, set or edit the default price, and add a new product. These are considered as the Sales invoice type in the student invoice list section – items under the FEES TO ADD section when creating a general invoice. The screenshot below shows the Accounting Edit Products screen in Paradigm.

Workflows

(1) Add a New Product Item

NOTE:

Before adding new product items/sales/fees to the system, you have to make sure that the item/product that you are about to add does not duplicate your existing product items. Refer to the instructions below on how to check for duplicates.

1. Check existing products for duplicates

   Choose Accounting > Edit Products menus on the side. In the PRODUCT SEARCH section, you can try searching for the product that you are about to add by entering a part of the name in the Name field, and then click the SEARCH PRODUCT button.

If it does not return any result, try clicking the SEARCH PRODUCT button again, this time without entering any search criteria. This will return all the products/items/fees currently stored in your system.

1. If there are no duplicates found, (1) click the ADD NEW PRODUCT button under the PRODUCT SEARCH section, or you can choose the Accounting > Edit Products menus on the side again.

In the ADD NEW PRODUCT section, (2) fill out all the required details of your product, refer to the table above Add New Product Item Form Fields if you need guidance.

After filling out the form, (3) click the ADD NEW PRODUCT button to save.

(2) Update a Product's Default Price

NOTE:

There are two ways you can modify or edit the price of your product's items. You have the option to set the default price of the item under this section (Accounting > Edit Products) or you can leave the price blank here and just edit it once it’s used/added as one of the items in the invoice, see Raising Enrolment Invoice | Raising General Sales Invoice Workflows.

Setting the Product’s Default Price

1. Choose Accounting > Edit Products menus on the side. In the PRODUCT SEARCH section, you can try searching for the product that you want to set a default price for by entering a part of the name in the Name field and then click the SEARCH PRODUCT button.
