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.
Available Quantity 
This is the quantity of the stock item on this detail line that is available for sale. If you selected the commit immediate option to integrate to Inventory, it is updated automatically each time a transaction is saved. This field is optional.
Base Price 
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.
Custom Tracking (CC) 
This is the CC Code associated with the customer selected for this transaction, and is an optional field. CC Codes can be used to capture demographic and marketing information, or any other information you choose.
Description 
This is the description of the stock item or non-inventory item on this detail line. It is an optional field. If the field is made visible, then the description associated with the stock item or non-inventory item appears by default.
If you use stock item variants, this field is required and must allow input. When you select a stock item that has variants, open the Lookup in this field to select the variant you want to sell.
Discount Code 
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 Discount Codes that have been created in the Sales module to arrive at a discounted price for the customer for each specific stock item. Depending on how it is set up in the Sales Set Up Sales Entry Layout window, the clerk may be able to change this code at the time of the transaction.
Discount Percent 
This is an optional field. It is the discount percentage that will be achieved after combining the Discount Code in the Discount Code field of the header section of the Sales POS Register window with the entry in the Discount field on the Sales Info tab of the IN Stock window for each stock item purchased, and comparing the combined code to the Discount Codes set up in the Sales Module. Depending how this field is set up in the Sales Set Up Sales Entry Layout window, the user may be able to edit this percentage at the time of the transaction.
Extended 
This is the extended total price for this detail line. This field does not allow input; it is automatically calculated by the system. After all discounts and other pricing adjustments are applied, the price in this field will be the final price for this detail line.

Line Number  
This is the sequence number of the current detail line as assigned automatically by the system. You cannot edit it. If you sometimes have transactions with many detail lines, it can be very helpful to include this field, which makes it easy to reconcile the information in the sales entry window with any written information or to check that the number of detail lines corresponds with the actual number of items the customer has ordered.
Location 
This is the location of the stock item on the current detail line, as specified in the top section of the IN Stock window.
For users with Multi-Location Inventory (MLI) installed, it is a required field. If you have MLI installed, your settings in both the Sales and Inventory Module Preferences windows will determine the default and whether the clerk can change the location on this detail line.
If you don’t have MLI installed, this field is optional.
For Non-Inventory and Special Order line items, this field will be blank.
Miscellaneous Charge 
This is an optional field and reflects the amount entered in the Misc. Charge field of the IN Stock window Qty/Price Info tab for the current line item. You cannot edit the amount in this field.
If there is an amount in this field, it is added to the price of the item and included in the price that is shown in the Extended field. The amount shown in the Misc. Charge field will not be posted to the revenue account shown for the stock item, but will be posted to the account specified in the GL Misc Charge Acct field of the IN Code attached to the stock item on this line.
