The system detects unknown barcode ... The screen to setup an item appears. The screen layout differs for different item types. See examples below.

For sale and store	For store only	Combo item for sale only. It includes other items.

You should setup the following:

• Description
the name of the item in tickets, inventories, receipt printout and reports
• Image
take photo or choose existing photo
• Code
the number to ring up the item into sales ticket fast. In all lists item are ordered by this code
• Barcode

• Active switcher
when the item is not active, it is not possible to sell this item or use it at stock functions (receiving/shipping/inventory)
• Item type selector (Important: it is available when the Stock control feature is switched on)
• For sale and store
You may sell this item and use in stock functions. Example: Cola in bottle is the item of this type. You have 100 bottles on the stock. Then you sell two. Stock is 98.
• For sale only
You can not do stock functions with items of this type. The item may be a Hamburger. Normally, you do not store hamburgers. You cook before it to sell. So it is a good example of item for sale only. Another example is a service, for example Personal training for 30 minutes.
• For store only
You may not sell items of this type. You may only use them as components of items for sale. For example, you business is to make and sell coffee. You keep 5 ltr cans with water, 1ltr packs of milk, coffee beans 0.5 kg/packs. So you do not sell these components. You keep them to prepare coffee... You setup coffee as item which includes these components (150 ml of water, 9 gramm of coffee etc.). When you sell one coffee then correct amounts of components will be deducted from the stock.
• Combo (available when the Stock control feature is switched on)
It appears for items of For sale and store and For sale only types. When it is on the Ingredients option appears.
• Ingredients (available when the Stock control feature is switched on)
You may setup item's components of items with their quantities. When you sell such an item, its ingredients are deducted from the stock.

• Set price at sale switcher
If you switch it on then at sale POS will ask the cashier to input selling price
• Tax selector
It is to select tax group for the item. It is accessible if only you switched taxes on (Control panel > Settings > ...). You shold setup tax group(s) before to configure items. See Taxes (TAX, GST, VAT, IVA, MwSt., ПДВ, НДС, etc.)
• Discount allowed switcher
Switch it on if you want discounts to be applicable for this item. Othervise, POS will not apply discount for a ticket line with this item.
• Refund allowed switcher
Switching it on/off you may allow or deny the cashier to add this item to refund ticket.

If you use the Stock control feature of the POS (Control panel > Settings > Stock control), you may want to setup items those consist of other items. It is important to setup comboitems properly to have correct inventory as a result of receiving, shipping, stock correction, and sales transactions.

It is possible to setup a comboitem as a sale items which cosists of ingredients (items for store, items for store and sale, other comboitems).

As an example, lets setup three items:

• Cola - just atem for sale and store
• Hotdog which is a comboitem
• item like Buy two hotdogs and gets cola for free which is a comboitem including another comboitem

To make a hotdog, we use ingedients:

• a bun - 1
• a sausage -1
• mustard - 20 OZ bottle per about 100 hotdogs (one hotdog takes 0.01 of mustard bottle in average)
• ketchup - 20 OZ bottle per about 50 hotdogs (one hotdog takes 0.02 of kechup bottle in average)

So, create items as below:

a bun, a sausage, an one ltr bottle of mustard, and an one ltr bottle of ketchup as items of the For store only type; it is because you will probably not sell them separatelly Cola as at item of the For sale and store type Hotdog as item the For sale only type The Two hotdogs + free cola item of the For sale only type

For the Hotdog item, switch the Combo on and add its ingredients as below:
Now you should configure ingredients for the Two hotdog + free cola item:
Now you may work with these items. You should not forget important steps to do before selling:

1. Setup remains (zeros) for stock items (Stock > Menu > Inventory > ...)
2. Receive cola, buns, mustard and ketchut on the stock (Stock > Menu > Receiving > ...)

Notes:

• You can setup combo items if only the Stock control feature (Control panel > Settings > Stock control) is switched on

To be able to see actual remains on the stock at any time, you should track your remains in correct way.

First of all you have to configure your sale items and items for stock properly (see above). Secondly, introducing new item of For store only or For store and sale types do not forget to setup their quantities on stock (Stock > Menu > Inventory > ...). Finally, when you receive items on stock, do it through (Stock > Menu > Receiving > ...). The same for shipping fron the stock.

Example
Let's imagine we have just configured Cola, Hotdog and Two hotdogs + free cola items as explained above.

Then the cashier has to do inventory for store items first time (Stock > Menu > Inventory > ...).

Let's assume we have no these items on the store yet. So, input zeroes. The "n/a" in the meddle means that quantities are unknoun before first inventory. Press the Save to close it.

Then let's receive ingredients and sale items to the stock (Stock > Menu > Receiving > ...).

We are receiving 2 bottles of Mustard, 2 bottles of Ketchup, Ingredients to prepare 100 hotdogs and 100 Colas. Press the Save to close it.

Then the cashier sales three items:

• One Cola
• One Hotdog
• One Two hotdogs + free cola

If you check remains on the stock (press the Stock button) then you see updated remains: Notes:

• Remaining of an item on stock will NOT be known/visible until you first inventory with the item

There are three options of how to add an item:

• Choose the item from the list
  This option would be good for you when you have a short list of items to sell hence you will not spend much time to find needed item
• Input item code and then press the Item yellow button
  Using of item code allows you to add an item very fast. It is good option for items those are popular in your shop. All you need is to define a numeric code in item setup screen in advance.
• Press the Scan button and then capture an item's barcode by iPhone/iPad camera
  By scanning item's barcode, you may easily add the item to sale even you do not remember its name or code. To use this option you have to preset a barcode for the item

By default, an item comes to a sales ticket with quantity one. If you want to add 10 eggs to a ticket then input '10' and press the 'x' yellow button and then use any of above options. If you want to sell a half of something, you shold input the '0.5' or even '.5' first.

The simpliest way is just to press the payment button. This button is located next to blue numeric buttons. The button's title is a description of method of payment (the Cash usually) as you have setup for the principal MOP. If you do not define which MOP is principal then no payment button on sales screen will be.
POS applies the principal method of payment for the whole ticket's amount and closes the ticket. If you have a printed connected, a receipt is printed automatically.
To pay by another MOP, go to the Menu, press the More MOPs button. The list of MOPs appears; it incudes methods of payment those you added in adnvance (Credit card, Voucher, Gifcard etc.). Select the MOP you need to apply it to the ticket.

You may pay a ticket by more than one MOP. For example, your customer is buying somenthing for 5.5 euro. The customer gives you a gift voucher for one euro and rest is 4.50 to be paid by cash. In POS, you add items. It shows Total=5.50. Then you input 1 and then you choose Gift voucher MOP. POS shows that 4.50 still to pay. Then you press the Cash button. The ticket is paid by two MOPs.

At POS configuring stage you may predefine pefcentage discounts. For this, go to Control panel > Discounts and add or edit percentage discounts those you will use.
Optionally, you can define the prefix for discount barcode(e.g. a barcode on the discount card). In sale process, the cashier may apply a discount to a ticket at any stage before to pay the ticket. To do so, the cashier presses Menu > Discounts. The list of active discounts will be shown. The cashier selects a discount. POS applies selected discount for lines of the ticket. POS does not apply a discount for items configured with the Discount allowed option switched of.

It is also possible to apply a discount through scanning a discount barcode. If the barcode has the discount prefix then the discount will be applied without to choose it from the list. When the transaction finalised, the receipt shows discount per item line. By default, a users is allowed to apply discounts. The swop owner or administrator may deny to applying of discounts at sale for given cashier usung user rights menu (Control panel > Users > [User] > User rights).

The only one discount may be applied to a ticket (the samre discount for all the items). If a ticket has a discount and then the cashier is trying another discount, POS will prompt with option to replace a discount by another discount or to not apply another discount.

When a ticket is discounted, the cashier may cancel the discount at any time before payment. For this, the cashier selects the discount line in the ticket and the voids this line (Menu > Void Line).

Notes:

• You can allow/deny discounts for given item.
• You can allow/deny given cashier to apply discounts.
• The cashier may apply only one discount to a ticket.
• It is possible to apply a discount even for refund.

• No taxes
  Having this option chosen, POS will not take taxes into account in sales and reports.

After a shift is open, POS transactions (sale, refund, receiving, shipping, inventory) will be assigned to the cashier who has openened the shift.

The cashier may start new shift at any time.
