|-
| 00:54
| Start the '''XAMPP services''' before you begin working on '''FrontAccounting''' interface.

|-
| 01:00
| Before we start, let us understand what are '''Items '''in '''FrontAccounting'''.

|-
| 01:06
| '''Items '''are the things which we can buy or sell in the business.

|-
| 01:11
| We have to keep a record that lists key information about an '''inventory item'''.

|-
| 01:18
| '''Inventory''' is a complete listing of

Stock in hand,

|-
| 01:23
| Work in progress,

Raw materials and Finished goods in hand.

|-
| 01:30
| Let us open the '''Frontaccounting''' interface.

|-
|01:34
| Open the browser and type '''localhost slash account '''and press '''Enter. '''

|-
| 01:43
| The''' login''' page appears.

|-
| 01:46
| Type the '''username''' as''' admin''' and the '''password'''.

Click on '''Login''' button.

|-
| 01:54
| The''' Frontaccounting''' interface opens.

|-
|01:57
| Click on the '''Items and Inventory''' tab.

|-
|02:01
| '''Maintenance''' panel is used to set up '''Items '''and '''Inventory''' details.

|-
| 02:06
| To do the setup, we have to make use of the following options:

'''Units of Measure'''

|-
| 02:13
| '''Items '''and '''Item Categories'''

|-
| 02:18
| Let us see how to set '''Units of Measure.'''

|-
| 02:22
| '''Units of Measure''' option has to be specified for each '''Item.'''

|-
| 02:27
| In the '''Maintenance''' panel, click on '''Units of Measure''' link.

|-
| 02:32
| By default you will see '''each''' and '''hour''' as '''units of measure'''.

|-
| 02:38
| Let us see how to add a new '''Units of Measure '''for''' kilograms.'''

|-
| 02:43
| Type the details for the unit '''kilograms '''as shown here.

|-
| 02:48
| In the '''Decimal places''' drop-down box, select '''zero'''.

|-
| 02:53
| Click on the '''Add''' '''new''' button at the bottom of the window to add this '''unit'''.

|-
| 02:59
| The pop-up message shows that we have successfully added a new '''unit'''.

|-
| 03:04
| We can also see the table with the updated entry.

|-
| 03:08
| Likewise you have to add the required '''Units of measure''' for your company’s '''items'''.

|-
|03:15
| Click on '''Back''' link at the bottom of the window to go back to the '''FrontAccounting''' interface.

|-
| 03:22
| Now let us set the '''Item''' '''Categories '''to which the '''item''' belongs.

|-
| 03:28
| '''Item Categories''' helps us to group the '''items''' we buy and sell.

|-
| 03:33
| Click on''' Item Categories '''link.

|-
| 03:35
| We can see some default''' Item categories''' here - '''Charges, Components, Services '''and''' Systems.'''

|-
| 03:48
| We need to create our own '''Item category,''' which defines.

'''Item tax type,'''

|-
| 03:54
| '''Item Type''' and '''Units of Measure'''

|-
| 03:58
| Say for example, our '''company''' deals with finished goods i.e '''Laptops'''.

|-
| 04:04
| So we will add a new''' Item category''' named '''Finished Goods.'''

|-
| 04:09
| Fill the details as shown here.

'''Category Name – Finished Goods'''

|-
| 04:15
| '''Item Tax Type - Regular'''

|-
| 04:52
| In '''Maintenance''' panel, click on the '''Items''' link.

|-
| 04:57
| Here, we are prompted to fill in all the necessary information for the '''item.'''

Fill the details as shown here.

This is mandatory.

|-
| 05:13
| '''Category''' is the '''Item category''' to which the '''item''' belongs.

We have selected '''Finished Goods.'''

|-
| 05:21
