Department

Select a department from the list of defined departments.

Link

Enter the PLU of the linked item. On GoPOS, linked items are automatically included as part of the transaction when the item is sold.

Price Limit

Enter the maximum price allowed or 0 (zero) for no price limit.

A price limit of $0.00 will indicate that there is no maximum price on an open department sale for this department. Any price entered on GoPOS during an open department sale will be permitted.

A positive, non-zero price limit will ensure that the price entered on an open department sale is less than or equal to the price limit.

Please note that open department sales will only be permitted on GoPOS if the Open Department option has been enabled.

By default, all products will inherit the Price Limit from their specified department. This can only be overridden at the product level if Setting 1 - "Individual Options for Products" has been enabled.

Tare Weight

Enter the tare weight of the scalable product. If defined, the total price will be calculated based on the weight measured by the scale or entered by the clerk minus the tare weight.

Cost

Enter the actual cost of the product.

Minimum Age

Enter a minimum age or 0 (zero) if you do not want to link a minimum age restriction to this department. If a minimum age restriction has been entered, GoPOS will prompt the user to enter the date of birth of the customer. If the calculated age is less than the minimum age restriction, the sale will not be allowed. By default, all products will inherit the minimum age restriction from their specified department. This can only be overridden at the product level if Setting 1 - "Individual Options for Products" has been enabled

Price Levels

Setting 4 - "Price Level Quantity" will determine the number of price levels displayed on the Items Maintenance window. Enter a price for each price level defined.

Options

By default, all products will inherit options from their specified department. This can only be overridden at the product level if Setting 1 - "Individual Options for Products" has been enabled.

 

Select one or more of the following product options:

 

Zero Prices Not Allowed

Select this option if all product items must have a non-zero price to be sold. If this option is enabled, items may be defined with zero prices but will no longer be allowed to be sold. This applies to each price level. It the user attempts to sell the item on GoPOS a warning message indicating that "Zero prices are not allowed" will pop up and the item sale will not be allowed. To sell the item with this option enabled, you must choose a price level with a non-zero price or change the item price to a non-zero value. The user must also enter non-zero prices for open department sales.

Prices are Negative

All product item prices are entered as positive values but subtracted from the transaction total.This also applies to Open Department sales.

Scalable

Items sold in bulk or weight should be marked as scalable. The total price will be calculated based on the weight measured by the scale or entered by the clerk. A warning message will be displayed if no scale has been defined in hardware maintenance. Products may be sold by weight (Scalable) or by volume (Price 3 decimals), but not both.

 

Tare weight may also be defined for each product. If defined, the total price will be calculated based on the weight measured by the scale or entered by the clerk minus the tare weight.

Print Weight/Volume Info Line

If chosen, the weight or volume of the item will be included in the pricing printed on the receipt. Products may be sold by weight (Scalable) or by volume (Price 3 decimals), but not both. The base weight and base volume measurements defined in the Setting options will be used. Setting 18 - "Base Weight Unit" and Setting 75 - "Base Volume Unit" 

Single Item

Entering a single item product automatically begins and ends the transaction with the item entry. The first tender declared will be used.

Manager Required

Select this option if the user requires managerial rights. On GoPOS, any user without Managerial rights will get a "Manager Required" warning message and will not be allowed to make an open department sale, sell any items under the department or display the PLU list for the specified department. Managerial override may be accessed by pressing the USR key and temporarily logging in as a user with managerial rights. "Mo" will be displayed at the top of the register to indicate managerial override mode. The register will return to regular mode once the entry has been completed or the CLEAR key has been pressed.

No Decimal Point Entry

If this option is enabled, department products can only be sold in whole units. When the option is disabled, decimal values are allowed and products may be sold in partial units. For example, when decimal point entry is allowed, the user may enter 1.5 x Item on GoPOS to sell one and a half of the item. The total price will be calculated as 1.5 times the unit price. If decimal point entry is not allowed, entering 1.5 x Item will display a warning message indicating that "Decimal point entry is not allowed".

Price 3 Decimals

Items sold by volume should be marked as Price 3 Decimals. Enabling this option will indicate that the products are measurable and a volume may be entered when entering transactions. Products may be sold by weight (Scalable) or by volume (Price 3 decimals), but not both. If this option is enabled, department product prices will be displayed with three decimal places. This setting will override Setting 6 - "Number of Decimal Digits". 

Food Stamp

Select this option to allow product sales to be tendered using food stamps.

Hash department

If enabled, product sales will not be included in total sales and will not affect revenue.

Open Price

Select this option to enable open product sales. Users are allowed to enter a price before selecting the product to "override" the price without having to hit the "Price Override" function. If this option is disabled, entering an amount before pressing on the product will treat the amount as a multiplier. When this option is enabled, you must enter the amount and press on the multiplier (X) symbol before pressing on the the product to treat the amount as a multiplier, otherwise the amount entered will be treated as a price override.

One Quantity Ticket on KP

Select this option if you wish to print Account and Table transactions as one single ticket when printing to the Kitchen printer. If this option is disabled, all transactions for a single Account or Seat will be sent to the kitchen printer as separate tickets.

Stockable

Select this option if you wish to enable inventory tracking for this product.
