The "Products" feature in SferaAI provides information about the items you sell to your customers.

Before utilizing the product features in your system, the administrator must configure the necessary product settings in the Settings - Organization - Product menu. Below are the available options for configuration:


- Set Dimension Unit : You can configure the unit of measurement for product dimensions (e.g., centimeters, inches). This setting ensures consistency when inputting product dimensions across the platform.


- Set Weight Unit : Define the unit of measurement for product weight (e.g., kilograms, pounds). This is useful for calculating shipping costs and tracking inventory weights.


- Enable/Disable Stock Management :  Allows the system to manage and track product inventory levels automatically.


- Enable/Disable Control of Quantity Per Location : Allows tracking of product quantities across different locations.


- Enable/Disable Low Stock Notification: Receive notifications when stock levels fall below a defined threshold, allowing for timely restocking.


- Enable/Disable Out of Stock Notification: Get alerts when products are out of stock, ensuring quick response to stockouts.


- Enable/Disable Allow Backorders: Allows customers to place orders for products even if they are out of stock.


How to Configure These Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings.
  2. Select Organization from the menu.
  3. Select Product section.
  4. Adjust the settings as needed, using the toggles or input fields.
  5. Save the changes.

Once configured, these settings will directly impact how the product features operate within your system, giving you control over inventory, stock management, and notifications.
