Manage your product catalog for faster invoicing and quoting

3 min read Updated Jan 9, 2025

Maintain a catalog of your products and services to speed up invoice and quote creation. Add items once, then reuse them across all your documents.

Adding Products

Create a New Product

  1. Navigate to Accounting → Products
  2. Click Add Product
  3. Fill in the product details:
    • Name
    • Description
    • SKU (optional)
    • Unit price
    • Tax rate
  4. Click Save

Product Fields

Field Description
Name Product or service name
Description Detailed description (appears on invoices)
SKU Stock Keeping Unit code
Unit Price Default selling price
Tax Rate Default tax rate (SST/GST)
Unit Unit of measure (each, hour, kg, etc.)

Products vs Services

The catalog supports both:

Products

Physical items you sell:

  • Inventory items
  • Manufactured goods
  • Resold products

Services

Work you perform:

  • Consulting hours
  • Professional services
  • Subscriptions
  • Project-based work

There's no technical difference—use the description field to clarify what you're offering.

Using Products

In Invoices

When creating an invoice:

  1. Click Add Line Item
  2. Click From Catalog
  3. Search or browse your products
  4. Select the product
  5. Adjust quantity as needed

The description and price auto-populate.

In Quotes

The same process works when creating quotes. Products ensure consistency between your quotes and final invoices.

Managing Pricing

Default Pricing

Set a default price that's used when adding the product to invoices.

Override Pricing

You can always override the price on individual invoices or quotes:

  • Special discounts
  • Volume pricing
  • Customer-specific rates

Price History

The product catalog stores your default price, but individual documents maintain their own pricing.

Organizing Products

Categories

Group related products:

  • Services
  • Physical Products
  • Subscriptions
  • Add-ons

Find products quickly by:

  • Name
  • SKU
  • Description keywords

Bulk Operations

Import Products

Import multiple products from CSV:

  1. Go to Accounting → Products

Best Practices

Naming Convention

Use consistent naming:

Good: "Website Design - Basic Package"
Good: "Consulting - Hourly Rate"
Avoid: "Design" (too vague)

Descriptions

Write customer-friendly descriptions:

Good: "Professional website design including up to 5 pages,
       mobile responsive layout, and basic SEO setup"
Avoid: "Web design svc"

SKU System

If you use SKUs, create a consistent system:

SVC-WEB-001  (Service - Web - 001)
PRD-ELEC-042 (Product - Electronics - 042)

Integration with E-Invoice

Products are linked to your E-Invoice setup:

  • Tax classification codes
  • LHDN product categories
  • Automatic compliance fields

When creating e-invoices, product details are automatically formatted for LHDN submission.
