Adding product manually is ok if you have only a few items. In case, there are 100s of products, using CSV to import them will make task easy.

To fill this template, we will need:

Retail prices of the product including tax if the store displays price inclusive of tax else exclusing tags
Supply prices of the products
Existing Barcode/SKU numbers
The exact names of the taxes you have set up in Retail POS
