# Add products and stock a branch

Mark the goods a distributor may carry, bring their stock into the Main warehouse of a branch, and give a shop its own price for a product.

A distributor can carry and sell only the products marked as distribution products, and an opening can only hand out what the Main warehouse of the branch holds. This page adds a product, records its stock in a branch and gives a customer his own price for it.

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

- You need the **Distributor Manager** access right on **Distributors**. The **Distribution Pricing** tab of a contact is shown only with it.

## Add a distribution product {#product}

1. Open **Distributors/Configuration/Distribution Products** and click **New**. **Distribution Product** is already ticked, and the product is saved as goods whose stock is tracked.
2. Type the **Product** name and its **Sales Price**: the price a distribution uses when the customer has no price of his own. The taxes of the product are used in the same way.

3. Click **Save manually**.

The same row of options carries **Expense Product**, for the costs a distributor declares (see [Submit and approve an expense](submit-and-approve-an-expense)), and **On Tax Declaration** when **Purchase** is ticked. **Distributors/Configuration/Expense Products** lists the expense products.

## Record the stock in the branch {#production}

Stock enters a branch through a receipt from production into its Main warehouse.

1. Open **Distributors/Configuration/Branches** and open the branch, Cedar Branch in the example.
2. Choose **Record Production** in the **Actions** menu. A receipt opens with the Main warehouse of the branch as its destination.
3. Click **Add a Product**, choose the product and type the **Demand**, here 60.

4. Click **Save manually**, then choose **Validate** in the **Actions** menu. The receipt is **Done**.

5. Go back to the branch through the breadcrumb and open the **Main Stock** tab. It shows **On Hand**, **Reserved** and **Available** for each product. The **Productions** counter lists the receipts recorded this way.

## Give a customer his own price {#customer-price}

1. Open **Contacts/Contacts**, search for the shop and open it.
2. In the **Distribution Pricing** tab, click **Add a line**, choose the product and type its **Price**. The taxes of the product are proposed; change them for this customer if needed.

3. Click **Save manually**. From now on, a distribution to this customer takes this price and these taxes when the product is chosen on a line.

## FAQ {#faq}

### A product is missing from the lines of an opening or a distribution. {#missing-product}

Only the products with **Distribution Product** ticked can be chosen there. Open the product and tick it.

### Can a customer have two prices for one product? {#two-prices}

No: one price per product and customer. Change the existing line instead.

### Does a new price change the distributions already recorded? {#existing}

No. The price is taken when the product is chosen on a line; lines already written keep theirs.

### Where do the returned goods go? {#returns}

A shop's returns go into the distributor's Returns warehouse, then at closing into the Returns warehouse of the branch, with the leftovers. **Record Scrap** on the branch writes off stock from that Returns warehouse.
