While working with an invoice / order

Qty/SKU - To add the quantity of an inventory item to an invoice/order while adding the SKU

For example, if the customer is buying 3 of an item, type 3/ (the number 3 followed by slash /) then choose the SKU and POSitive will automatically sell 3 units of the item.

 

Ctrl-P = Package line for entering the selling price for items of this goup

Ctrl-S = Subtotal line - the last entry for the group of items in the "package"

Ctrl-Enter = Changes the Description of a Package line

 

Ctrl-R = Return 1) changes the qty of the highlighted item to negative number 2) if on a blank line of an invoice it starts a return invoice procedure.  Additional shortcut: minus sign = typing a minus sign (-) in the SKU field will also trigger the Return process.

Ctrl-D = Discount by an Amount, line item percentage, all items on invoice percentage

Ctrl-C = Coupon dollars off (however use of Coupon Manager is a better method)

Ctrl-X = Tax change of a line item, if it is taxable it can be changed to another tax rate

Ctrl-Y = Tax change for items below this line - used for selling a group on non-taxable items on an otherwise taxable invoice

Ctrl-N = adds a paragraph style note (press F10 when finished)

Ctrl-I = Insert a new line at current location

Ctrl-H = Customer purchase history  (there are more/better choices with invoice buttons)

Ctrl-Z = shows the customer's purchase history of the highlighted item (cannot be used for Quick Sale invoices)

 

Alt-S = Stock - opens an Item Detail screen for the highlighted item

Alt-F = Override Backorder - if an item is backordered, this will remove the backorder status.  Warning: this may not be a good practice because it could adversely affect stock counts.

Alt-C = Commission - Allows for assignment/splitting of commissions

Alt-A = Assign Serial Number - if the item is serialized, you can choose the serial number of the item.

Alt-V = Void the transaction

Edit Item - simply allows you to change the qty, price, discount of the highlighted line item
