Global Catalog
The Global Catalog is the master list of ALL items your salon offers across all branches — products, services, and packages. Think of it as your company-wide menu.
How the Three-Level System Works
SlonAxis's catalog system has three levels:
| Level | What | Scope | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Catalog | Master definition (name, type, rating) | Company-wide | Reference data |
| Branch Listings | Item + Branch + Price | Per branch | Selling in checkout |
| Inventory | Stock quantity | Per branch | Track stock levels |
Example:
- Catalog Item: "Premium Shampoo" (type: Product)
- Branch Item 1: "Premium Shampoo" at Downtown Branch — ₹500
- Branch Item 2: "Premium Shampoo" at Suburban Branch — ₹450
- Inventory: Downtown has 50 bottles, Suburban has 30 bottles
