Scanning a Sales Item

You can add items to the current sale from the POS view by scanning the barcode on product labels. Other options for adding items are keying in Product ID, searching inventory and adding a non-inventory item.

Once an item is added to the sale, you can increase/decrease the item's quantity, view item details, override the retail price, set applicable taxes, apply a discount to the item and remove the item from the sale. You can use the product discount function to reduce the item by 100% to a price of $0.00. If the total amount of the sale transaction is also $0.00, you can accept only cash as the payment type. $0.00 items are still considered "sold" and therefore affect inventory counts as normal.

NOTE: You can assign a customer to the sale at any time during the transaction. For details, see Assigning a Customer to a Sale.
