Shop Question:

To add a non-stocked item to the inventory file from POS, access:

  1. Tools | System Setup | POS Settings – Details | General tab.

  2. Set the shop question ‘Manually entered NonStock’ to Yes to add a non-stocked item to the inventory file.

  3. Set the shop question ‘NonStock returned from Catalog’ to Yes to add a non-stocked catalog item to the inventory file.

 

However, when an item is added to the inventory file from the Point of Sale, only some of the fields can be entered; the item must later be edited through the back office to complete the remaining fields.

 

 

Point Of Sale Screen:

If the item entered is not currently in the inventory file, the system will display the following message:

 

Part <part number> was not found. What would you like to do?

 

 

The user will have the following 4 options:

  1. Non-Stocked Item: Allows the user to permanently add a non-stocked item to the inventory file from the Point Of Sale screen.

  2. Find Closest: Allows the user to select from a list of items with item numbers close to the original item number entered.

 

  1. Re-Enter: Allows the user to re-type in the inventory item number in case of error.

 

  1. Lost Sale: Allows the system to track items not currently in your Inventory currently that could have made a sale if stocked. If you notice that you are getting a number of Lost Sales for a particular item, you may want to consider adding that item to your Inventory and keep it in stock.
