After clicking the menu item Products, the product overview appears:

The last button in the Products search menu is the Create button in the bottom right. It starts the product creation process (empty form).

In the SKU field you can enter the desired, unique article number that does not yet exist (a check whether it already exists is performed when saving).

Alternatively, an article number managed in Nekom can be used if the corresponding toggle is enabled and the SKU field remains empty. Internal Nekom article number assignment is only performed for article numbers that have not yet been assigned, in ascending order starting at number 1000.

In the Name field (required), enter the name (title) of your item. In the Item information field, define the stock keeping type. Available options are Digital item (no inventory), Stock item (inventory incl. stock tracking), and Drop-shipping item. For drop-shipping items, stock is maintained by the respective supplier, provided the supplier is also defined as a drop-shipping supplier. In coordination with Nekom, direct inventory in Nekom incl. stock tracking can also be enabled for drop-shipping items.

As item type you can choose Master item, Normal item (without variants), and SET item. Variants for a master can then be created after creation in the product detail menu, tab Variants.

The regular gross sales price is entered without thousands separators, with or without 2 decimal places, e.g. 9999 or 9999.99. The selectable tax rate is preselected and displayed depending on the tenant’s country.

After that, you can assign the planned sales channels for your product and assign the required product categories per sales channel. Multiple selection is possible for both fields.

In the Barcode field you can enter an EAN13 or UPC barcode. When saving the new item, an entered barcode is checked in advance whether it already exists in Nekom. If it does, it cannot be saved because a barcode may only be assigned to one item. This field is not mandatory, but please note that barcodes are required when using online marketplaces such as Amazon or Otto.

The last two fields are used to assign the supplier (required) and the manufacturer.

Example normal item:

After successfully clicking Save, the new product is shown directly in the detail view:

Special notes for creating master items

If Master is selected during creation, the Barcode field is hidden. The rest of the creation process is the same as for a normal item (see above).

After successfully saving a new master item, it also switches to the product detail page. For master items, the Variants tab becomes visible, and in this tab new variants can be assigned to this master (button in the bottom right).
