Sales POS Register window: Detail Information
There are many prompts that you can select to appear in the detail portion of the Sales POS Register window. They can be customized to have meaningful titles that you set up or can be the default titles.
Because of the amount of options available, they are listed below with their default titles as shown on the
Detail tab of the
Sales Set Up Sales Entry Layout window.
If you use a touch screen, you can press and hold a detail line to bring up the right-click menu options.
Item
This is the item being sold on this detail line; it is a required field. You can type the item number, use F5 to look up stock items, or ALT+F1 to look up non-inventory Items.
The information that is entered here depends on the type of item you select.
• If you choose a stock item, this number is the Stock Number.
• If you select a non-inventory item, it will be the Non-Inventory Code.
• If this is a special order item, it is the item name that you typed and doesn’t currently exist in the system.
• If you select to enter a Comment or Comment Code, this field will fill with Comment and the actual comment will appear in the Description field.
If your Salesperson rights allow, you can
add new items through this window.
Price
This is the price of the item on this detail line as determined by the pricing method including any automated discounts, such as Discount Codes or Promotional Pricing Codes. This is a required field. The price can be edited if the salesperson logged in has rights.
For stock items that are set up with level pricing, double-click or select the drop-down to open the Pricing Info window. This shows the price levels set up in Inventory and the adjusted price (ex. customer special pricing, promotions) that will be added to the detail grid.
Quantity
This is the quantity of the current line item that the customer ordered. The number of decimal places allowed in this field is determined by the setting in the
Quantity Decimal field on the
Defaults tab of the
Sales Point of Sale Preferences window
.
If you activated Back Order tracking, the system will subtract the number in the Quantity Shipped field from the number in this field to determine the number in the Quantity Back Ordered field.
For stock items that are not set up with level pricing, double-click or select the drop-down to open the Pricing Info window. This shows you any price breaks that were set up with the stock item in Inventory.
If you
created a purchase order based on this order, you cannot lower the quantity in this field below the PO Quantity.

This is the lowest price for the selected inventory item based on its pricing method. If the item is currently on
promotion, it will include the promotional price.

This is an optional field, and will show the Discount Code that appears in the
Discount field of the
IN Stock window
Sales Info tab for the stock item on this line. The entry in this field is combined with the entry in the
Discount field on the
Credit/Collection tab of the
AR Customers window.
The combination of the two codes is compared to the

Sales Set Up Sales Entry Layout window, the clerk may be able to change this code at the time of the transaction.

window with the entry in the
