Managing Professional Product Usage

Key Steps for Processing Used Professional Products

1. Recording Empty Products

At the end of each day or week:

• Gather empty professional product containers.
• Process these through the Shortcuts Point of Sale (POS) system to update your stock levels.

2. Updating Stock Levels

Follow these steps to record product usage:

1. Navigate to Point of Sale in the Shortcuts menu.
2. Click the dropdown menu at the top of the screen and select #Business.
3. Add the used products to the sale line:
   • Use the plus (+) icon to increase quantities.
   • Use the minus (-) icon to decrease quantities.
   • Use the rubbish bin icon to remove an item if needed.
4. Once all products are added, click Finish Sale to complete the process.

Generating the Professional Product Usage Report

To monitor product usage and generate insights, Shortcuts allows you to create a detailed report:

1. Go to Tools > Reports.
2. Select Stock and then Product Professional Stock Usage Report.
3. Set the desired date range and select View.
4. Review the report, which includes:
   • Products listed on the left.
