After you set up the Workflow, the next step is to add products to make payments in Purchasing. Here are the steps.

1. Log in to your Mekari Expense account, then select the Purchasing menu.
2. Then click the “Products” tab.
3. On that page, click “Add product”.
   

4. Next, fill in the product name, product code/SKU, description, unit, and upload a product image by clicking “Browse file”.
   
    

   The product name and product code must be unique within one company.

5. Once all the data is correctly filled in, click “Save”.
   
6. The product you added will then appear on the following page.
   
7. On this page, you can View details, Edit, and Deactivate the product by first clicking “Actions”.
   
    Products that are deactivated or have an ‘Inactive’ status will not appear when creating a Purchase request.

8. To view detailed product information, click “Actions”, then select “View details”.
   

9. Besides viewing detailed product information, you can also see the list of vendors linked to the product if you previously enabled the vendor mapping feature. Click the “Vendor list” tab to continue.
   

10. On this page, you will see the vendor list. To view detailed vendor information, click a Vendor name. To directly edit the vendor, click “Edit in vendor”.
    

11. You will be directed to the Associated product page to edit the product for the related vendor.
    

12. Additionally, you can edit and deactivate the product. Click “Actions”, then select “Edit” to make changes or “Deactivate” to disable the product.
    

    You cannot add a product on the Purchase page if the product from that vendor is deactivated. If there is a purchase still in progress, the submission process will fail because the product is inactive.

That concludes the explanation on how to add products. Next, you will learn how to manage the vendor list by clicking here.
