  2. 2

    Assign owners and dates

    Give each section or row a named owner and a completion date so responsibilities are visible across the team.

    Walk through the resource with operations, marketing or commercial owners before locking decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What download is available for the Stock Item Catalog Template?+

The resource provides stock-item-catalog-template.xlsx, an editable XLSX catalogue for event inventory items.

Which item attributes belong in the stock catalogue?+

Capture sellable SKU, unit, category, barcode or PLU, reorder threshold and supplier link, together with pack-size information where it affects stock handling.

When should the stock item catalogue be prepared?+

Prepare and de-duplicate it before opening-stock imports, POS mapping and procurement setup so downstream teams use the same SKU, unit and category definitions.

How is the stock catalogue different from a POS menu?+

The stock catalogue defines inventory items and controls; a POS menu defines sellable product lines, which are connected later through the POS Product Mapping Checklist.
