Create a product

1

Check company scope

Check the company selector before choosing New Product. With one company selected, the form offers Assign to [company] only. Select it for a company-specific product. Leaving it clear creates a shared product, subject to your access. Global View has no company assignment checkbox.
2

Enter the product details

Enter Name and a Unit Price of zero or more. Name is required; leaving Unit Price blank creates a zero-price product. Optionally set SKU, Category, Vendor and Description. Choose Uncategorized if no category is appropriate yet.
3

Choose the billing recurrence

Select One-time, Monthly, Quarterly, Annual, or Custom. For Custom, enter a whole-number Interval (months) from 1 to 60; six means every six months. Unit Price is the amount for one billing occurrence.
4

Create and verify

Choose Create, wait for the dialog to close successfully, and check the catalog row. Newly changed products move toward the first page. Cancel closes the form without creating a product.

Understand the annualized preview

Recurring products show Annualized cost in the form: Monthly multiplies Unit Price by twelve, Quarterly by four, Annual by one, and Custom by twelve divided by the interval. One-time products do not show this preview. This is an annualized estimate. For intervals that do not divide twelve evenly, it is not a count of invoices in a particular year. Actual budget billing depends on the line’s start, term and overrides. Review the line billing settings after adding a product.

Edit an existing product

  1. Find the correct product and open its row … > Edit.
  2. Change Name, SKU, Category, Vendor, Unit Price, Recurrence or Description. Set the custom interval if needed.
  3. Choose Save. Check for an error, then reopen the row to confirm the intended values persisted.
The single-product form has no Product Group, setup-fee, currency or company reassignment field. Use Bulk Edit for an available Product Group choice. Ask your MSP to review a scope mistake; changing the company selector does not reassign an existing product. Edits affect the catalog record. They do not rewrite copied prices in existing budget lines or send a price update to a connected provider. Review unlocked budgets separately; approved budgets retain their locked baseline.
