# 🧭 Understanding the Tabs in an Item

When viewing an item in your system, you’ll notice there are several tabs across the top of the window.  
Each of these tabs provides different types of information — from sales history and pricing, to supplier details and transaction records.

Here’s a breakdown of what each tab shows, and how it can help you manage your items more effectively.

---

### **Details**

The **Details** tab is where most item setup happens — but there are several fields here that offer helpful insights beyond basic configuration.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll find:

1. **Current Sell** — This is the price the item will scan at the register. It will update automatically if a promotion is active.
2. **Promo Cost, Price, and Points** — Displays the cost, sell price, and GP% for the promotion the item is currently on.
3. **Quick Promotion** — Use Quick Promotion to create a deal for this specific item. It’s best for one-off promos — if you’re applying a special to multiple items, use a Promo Batch instead.
4. **Promotion List (bottom section)** — Shows if the item is on promotion, and displays the promo name, type, start/end dates, and sell price.
5. **Cartons/Units on Order** — Displays any cartons or units currently on order for this item.
6. **Stock and Loyalty**— Shows current stock information for the item.  
   The **Units on Hand** value is the key figure — this shows how many units are available.  
   You’ll also see the **Last Stocktake Date**, which helps you track when stock was last counted.
7. **Pack Size / Department / Category / Subcategory** — This field is used by the host company and can be ignored for in-store use.

### **Weekly Sales**

This tab shows sales for each week (ending Sunday), plus visual tools to help compare performance over time:

- A **list of weekly sales** with quantities, sell prices, and values
- A **graph view** for easy visual comparison
- **Averages** for the past 12 weeks (daily, weekly, and on-hand stats)

### **Daily Sales**

This tab lists each **day’s sales** for the item.  
It’s helpful if you want to spot trends, review busy days, or track the impact of recent changes.
