To add a new Product:

		Enter a Description (optional) Note: The description must not exceed 400 characters.

		Enter the regular retail price for the Product Note: You will be able to add additional prices for the Product later in this process.
		Select the Branch(es) and/or Branch group(s) the Product will be "Available for sale" in, at the specified price you set above (required) Note: You are only offered Branches within the country selected for the Product. e.g. If a Product is created with Australia selected for the country, only Australian Branches will be displayed in the drop-down box. Branch groups that contain Branches from multiple countries will be displayed with a warning symbol indicating Branches outside the Product's country will not display this price. At least one Branch or Branch group must be selected. You may select multiple Branches and/or Branch group(s). The Branch(es) and/or Branch group(s) you select are displayed below the drop-down box: Branches are displayed in blue Branch groups are displayed in green To remove a Branch or Branch group from your selection, click X to the right of the Branch or Branch group
		If the price varies in other Branches and/or Branch groups, click Add price option A new row will appear, allowing you to set a different price and specify which Branch(es) and/or Branch group(s) should display the differing price: Note: You can add as many price options as you require. The lowest and highest prices are displayed in the Product catalogue: If there are any conflicting Product prices for the same Branch, the lowest price is displayed at the Shopfront (point-of-sale): In the above example, the Branch group "Melbourne branches" (with a price of $50.00) contains the Branch "St Kilda" as well as "St Kilda" Branch being set a price of $45.00, therefore, St Kilda will display the lower price of $45.00 for the Product at the Shopfront (point-of-sale).
