How to update Product Information

Utilize the Product Management Widget and/or SmartOrders' Inventory Button

If using a Back Office integration, changes to products must be conducted within the Back Office as SmartBar is utilizing it as the source of truth. Changes made to products will not be permanent if the change is not done at the source.

Inventory Button

How to Add Product

Click on the "Add Product" button located above the Orders to Approve widget.

Choose the Product Type. Use the search bar to locate the product then fill out the product information in the Add Product pop-up window. Make sure the Package Size, Price, and Distributor are assigned to the item.

Click Save once done. 

If you receive a warning stating the item is already in your inventory then there is a good chance that the product, when initially added, did not have all the information that is needed. ex. assigned Distributor

In this example, Ayinger Bavarian Pilsner was being added, but since it is already in our inventory and does not have a Distributor assigned, an error message appears.
