# Product Settings
In **Product Settings** in Supply’d, you can customise how your products are displayed and managed to suit your business needs. This includes setting up custom product tags for easy organisation, defining target profit margins to help with pricing accuracy, and choosing your preferred barcode format for consistent labelling. You can also personalise label colours, fonts, and ticket layouts to match your branding, and configure ticket information to ensure key details appear clearly on printed labels and product tags.

### Product Editing
**Show Matching Supply'd Suppliers**
Choose whether or not Supply'd suppliers should appear on product pages for products you have created. Barcodes are used to match the products.
**Hide Food Fields**
Choose whether or not to show food fields such as ingredients when editing a product.
**Custom Product Tags**
Add any custom tags you want to use for products, one per line.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Tags**
Tags allow you to select a number of tags that suit the product. Some tags are predefined by Supply'd and are used to match particular product types. For example, whether the product is vegan, vegetarian, nut free, gluten free etc. Customers can use tags to find, for example, all vegan products that match a given search query. Tags are selected when adding or updating a product.
👉 See the [adding-and-updating-products](https://help.supplyd.co/products/adding-and-updating-products "mention") document for how to add tags to a product.

### Predict & Scan
Choose your settings for predictions and ordering defaults.
**Default Sales Period (Days)\* \[required field]**
Enter a default sales period, in days. If the delivery period for a supplier or item is unknown, this period will be used for the predicted sales period.
**Default Min. Stock Hold (Units)\* \[required field]**
Enter a default minimum stock hold. If no minimum stock hold is set for an item, this default minimum stock hold will be used instead.
**Ignore Non-working Days**
Choose whether or not to ignore non-working days in sales predictions.
If you don't typically receive orders while your business is closed we recommend setting this to "**Yes**" to prevent non-trading days skewing-down sales predictions.
**Ignore Purchase Orders Beyond (Days)**
For stock on order when using Scan to Order, enter the number of days an order should remain active before being ignored. This helps prevent orders that don't get received affecting the ordering for too long. Set to "0" to not consider purchase orders when ordering.
**Auto-apply Predictions**
When an order recommendation is made using Scan to Order, choose whether or not **Auto-apply** should automatically apply the prediction upon scanning.
**Auto-apply Default**
Enter the default quantity to order when the prediction is zero. Set to "0" to prevent auto-applying if no sales are predicted.
**Prediction Method**
Select the method used to predict future sales.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Trend (Internal Patterns)**
* What it is: A "rearview mirror" look at where we’ve been.
* Data Source: Internal only. It uses the numbers we enter into our own systems (e.g., past sales, ticket volume).
* How it works: It identifies a general direction (up, down, or flat) and assumes that path will continue.
* Best for: Identifying long-term growth or decline without worrying about outside interference.
**Forecast (Holistic Predictions)**
* What it is: A "GPS" that predicts the road ahead by looking at the whole environment.
* Data Source: Internal + External. It combines our data with outside factors like:
* Public and School Holidays
* Weather/Temperature patterns
* Temporal and seasonal trends
* The "One-Year" Rule: To work accurately, a forecast requires at least 12 months of data. This allows the system to recognise "Seasonality"- ensuring it doesn't mistake a standard holiday spike for a permanent trend.
* Best for: Budgeting, staffing, and inventory where outside events impact our daily volume.
