I know that SenatorJoker has already solved his problem, but I thought I would post so that when this is ready by other in the future they might find this idea helpful...
You wholesale suppliers should be able to provide you with a spreadsheet of item descriptions, sizes (e.g. oz), barcode, suggested retail, cost, etc. If you have those basics, the upload into CRE is easy enough. Two other hints for liquor stores using CRE:
- Don't forget to use the tag-along item for bottle deposits (called CRV in California)
- Set the "prompt for qty" flag on items that may be sold as a single or a six pack (i.e. beer that has only the plastic rings holding the 6-pack together). Set a "bulk price" for 6 or more so that you sell a 6-pack for less than the each-price x 6.
