Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When selling an inventory item assigned to a category with selling prompts, you will be prompted to enter information about the customer or product.  The information will then be added to the invoice.  This information could be for instructions or measurements or registrations.

CategorySellingPrompt

In the Prompt field enter a word or phrase to remind the cashier of the information needed.

In the Format field select one of the following:

Text - a single line of text

Date - entry must be a date

Note - (only available for the first prompt) an extended text field in paragraph form.

Apply only once per transaction - will not prompt again if another qualifying inventory item is added to the invoice.

For example, when selling the book, the prompt could ask for the customer's school name and teacher.  This information will then be retained on the invoice.  Reports can be run to find all customer's with the same teacher.
