Create an item
An order is required before you can create an item. Follow the Create an Order steps and come back if you haven’t created an order yet.
The concept of “Item” in Precious Metals Manager represents a specific product, including name, physical details, year, quantity, unit price, tax, spot price, and note.
When you make a purchase at a coin shop or from another individual, you are buying items that form part of an order.
1) Tap on an order on the “Orders” tab.
2) Tap on “+ Add item” button.
Alternatively, you can create an item from the list of orders by long-pressing on an order.
3) The input screen for registering a new item consists of:
- Form Factor: Bar, Coin, Round
- Metal: “Gold”, “Silver”, “Platinum”, “Palladium”. When “Silver” is selected, a “Junk Silver” toggle is shown that allows you to choose from one of the “Junk Silver” presets.
