Plenty of what you specify has no product page: the trade-only fabric house, the dealer’s one-off console, the joinery you are having made. These get entered by hand.

Identity — always fill these

Images

Upload as many as you have. The primary image is what appears on schedules, PDFs and client-facing views, so choose the one that represents the piece rather than the prettiest room shot. Crop it if the vendor’s photography is the wrong shape.

Worth being fussy about

  • Name it findably. You are writing for yourself in eighteen months, searching a library of two thousand products.
  • Set the category. An uncategorised product falls out of every grouping on every schedule.
  • Record dimensions. The single most-missed field, and the one that causes trouble on site.
  • Attach the vendor. Without it, procurement has no contact and no terms to work from.

Bespoke and one-off pieces

Still worth entering. Joinery, a commissioned rug, a reupholstery job: each needs a cost, a lead time and a place on the schedule. Name them clearly — Joinery — master bedroom wardrobe — so they are obviously not catalogue items. For a client’s existing furniture that stays in the scheme, add the product and set the schedule status to Reuse — no purchase. It appears in the specification, costs nothing, and never reaches procurement.
