Manage your catalog

All four of these live behind the gear icon in the toolbar (Tools menu), not the avatar menu — that’s reserved for personal and company-wide settings. Each one opens the same way: a table of existing records, and an “Add” form reached from a button next to the title.

Distributors

Section titled “Distributors”

Who you buy from. A Distributor record is mostly contact info — name, rep, phone, email — used elsewhere to associate purchases with a source.

Producers and Products

Section titled “Producers and Products”

Producers are who makes what you sell — breweries, wineries, distilleries. Products are the specific items: a particular beer, wine, or spirit, tied back to a Producer and a Style.

Setting up Producers before Products keeps Product entry from turning into free-text guessing about who made something.

Styles

Section titled “Styles”

The style taxonomy products are categorized under (think: “IPA,” “Pilsner,” “Stout”). Products reference a Style, which is what powers style-based filtering and reporting elsewhere in BevWerk.

The Import catalogs

Section titled “The Import catalogs”

Producers and Styles both have an Import icon button next to their title (look for the tooltip — the icon itself isn’t labeled). This isn’t a CSV uploader. It opens a filter panel over BevWerk’s own built-in reference catalog:

  • Producers: filter by State and Country, then Import Selected to bulk-add producers from that region instead of typing each one in by hand.
  • Styles: filter by Type, then Import Selected to bulk-add from BevWerk’s built-in style list.

This is the fastest way to seed either list — worth knowing about before manually typing in producers or styles one at a time.

Watch the walkthrough

Section titled “Watch the walkthrough”

The walkthrough opens each area’s table and add form, and opens both Import catalogs, but stops before importing or saving anything — no real catalog data gets created.
