Running the shop
For managers: products, customers, stock, suppliers, reports and staff.
38 topics
- Products — add, edit and deactivateAdd a new product with its price, category and barcode, change it, or deactivate it without deleting it.
- Product picture and button colourPut a picture on a product's button on the till, or choose its colour.
- Sizes (variants) and extras (modifiers)Make a product sold in sizes with different prices, and add extras at an extra charge.
- Recipes (ingredients) and order customizationLink a product to its ingredients so stock is deducted by itself, and let the customer remove or swap an ingredient.
- CategoriesSplit products into categories that appear as buttons above the items on the till, including categories inside categories.
- Calculation types — VAT, service charge and quick discountsThe tax on every ticket, the service charge, and the quick-discount buttons cashiers see.
- Add many products at once (grid or CSV)Type products in a grid, or import them from a spreadsheet saved as CSV.
- Customers and their statementRegister customers, find them, and see each one's account statement and who owes money.
- Collecting customer payments and adjusting balancesA customer who owes money pays part or all of it, or you correct their balance with an adjustment.
- Customer returnsA customer brings back something from a closed sale — record it, approve it, put the goods back in stock and give the money back.
- Inventory itemsAn inventory item is what you count on the shelf — how it is tracked, costed and measured.
- Units of measurementPieces, boxes, strips, kilos — units in groups, each with its size in the group's base unit.
- Opening stockEnter what is already on the shelves when you start with Major — a table, or a CSV file.
- Stock levelsHow much of each item you have in each store, what it is worth, and what is running low.
- Receive, adjust and record wasteThe three everyday stock operations — goods in, a correction after counting, and what was spoiled or broken.
- Batches and expiry datesEvery batch on the shelf with its expiry date, and which ones expire soon.
- Stock alertsThe items at or below their reorder point, in one list.
- The item cardEvery movement of one item over a period, with the balance after each one — and a check that it adds up.
- ReconciliationCompare the stock Major expects from its movements with the stock it records, and correct any difference.
- Stock countsCount the shelf, record what you found, and approve the count to correct the stock.
- Stores inside a branchThe shop floor, a back store, a quarantine store — several stores in one branch, and which one the till sells from.
- Stock transfersMove stock from one store to another — in the same branch or to another branch — with a printed transfer note.
- SuppliersThe companies you buy from, what you owe each one, and everything you do with them from one card.
- Purchase ordersOrder goods from a supplier, approve the order, and receive it — with an invoice, or line by line.
- Purchase invoicesPost the supplier's invoice — the goods come into stock with their lots and cost, and the debt goes on the supplier's account.
- Paying suppliers and adjusting balancesPay a supplier from the drawer or from outside it, set the opening balance, and correct a balance.
- The supplier statementEvery invoice, payment and return with one supplier over a period, with the running balance — to check, print or send.
- Returns to suppliersSend goods back — expired, damaged, extra — record the credit note when it arrives, and take money back.
- The dashboardToday at a glance — sales, invoices, the shift, and six charts of how the shop is doing.
- Sales reportsSales for any day or period — totals, products, categories, payment methods and the busy hours.
- Shift historyEvery shift with its opening balance, expected and actual cash and the difference — and each one's Z report.
- Inventory reportsWhat your stock is worth, what it cost you, what moves and what doesn't, what is lost, and what expires.
- FinancialsEvery money movement — sales, refunds, drawer cash in and out, customer payments and charges — in one list.
- What "a day" meansEvery date you pick or see in Major is the shop's business day, in Cairo time — not the computer's clock or UTC.
- Exporting reportsSave any report as a CSV file to open in Excel or send to your accountant.
- Staff (users)Create an account for each person, set their role, branch, departments and startup screen, and deactivate them when they leave.
- Roles and permissionsA role is a set of permissions you give to staff in one go — edit the existing roles or create new ones.
- Status groups (delivery stages and more)Give tickets stages of your own beside their money state — new, ready, out for delivery, delivered — and choose the ticket types they apply to.
