Adding an Item to Nory
Select Items under Inventory setup from the sidebar.
2. Select Add item from the inventory items screen.
Enter the item name and select a category.
š” Tip: Use the exact name that appears on your supplier's invoice. Getting this right prevents duplicate items from being created when invoices are matched in Nory.
Select a type from the dropdown. The type determines where the cost is reported ā for example, items set to Food will be included in your food GP calculations.
The Purchasing info tab holds everything to do with buying the item from your supplier.
Select the Purchasing info tab at the top of the item screen.
Enter the purchasing information:
Supplier: who you buy the item from
Supplier code: the product code or SKU (stock keeping unit) as it's printed on the supplier's invoice
Pack size: the quantity and unit the item is delivered in
Price: what you pay for one pack
Then select Add Item.
The item is now ready for you to order, receive and use in batches or recipes.

š” Enter the supplier code exactly as it's printed on the invoice. Nory uses the code first when it matches scanned invoice lines to your items, so even a one-character difference can stop an invoice from matching.
š” Use the same units of measure for similar items. For example, record liquids in ml and l, or cl and l, but don't mix ml, cl and l. If you sell an item as a single unit, like a bottle of soft drink, use "each" whatever its volume, because you'll always count it as 1.
Assign the item to a storage area using the dropdown.
š”Tip: Assigning items to storage areas keeps stock counts fast and focused. Create areas for each section of your restaurant (e.g. dry store, fridge, bar) and only assign the items stored there ā no more scrolling through your entire inventory.
Finally, add the units you want your team to count in.
The item is now ready for you to order, receive and use in batches or recipes.
