🧾 Viewing a Product in Detail

Clicking any product card from the Inventory page opens a full sidebar panel with multiple tabs that let you manage the item deeply — from names and pricing to images and subunits.

📋 Tab 1: Item Details

This tab shows and allows editing of:

• Product name
• Barcode and shelf location
• Subunit name (e.g., tablet, piece)
• Subunit count (e.g., 1 box = 10 tablets)
• Selling and cost prices
• Quantity alert threshold
• Category or type
• Image upload

Note: Quantity and cost are not editable here to maintain audit traceability. These values change only through actions like Purchase, Transfer, or Dispense.

🎯 Real-World Example

You click on “Amoxicillin 500mg” and realize the expiry is outdated. You update it, add a new image, and enter subunit info: 1 box = 10 capsules.

🧠 Best Practices

• Only assign subunits when it helps with tracking (e.g., 1 pack = 5 vials)
• Always upload a product image for better search visibility
• Use barcode printing to streamline scanning workflows
• Encourage notes for clarity (e.g., use only in pediatric ward)
