Simple entry of a new article
Firstly, we start by entering a recipe article.
- Press the New article button. or click in the article number field. If you have not selected a prefix, you will be asked whether you want to create a recipe or a base article.
- A dialogue for entering the article number and the article name appears.
Select the next free article number of the number range to which you want to assign the article by entering it in the article number field. If the background of the field now appears red, this number has already been assigned. By selecting the # button next to the article number field, the next available article numbers are displayed depending on your input. Click on the number you want to assign in the list. This is now entered in the Article number and Alpha no. field. adopted - Overwrite the text New article # with your article text (or simply Cola 0.2l). You can observe how the article master transfers the text to the receipt text fields.
- Now select the product groups to which the article should belong.
- Enter the sales price and pay attention to the selected VAT rate.
- Now check under Key text whether the article description you have selected is displayed correctly and as clearly as possible in checkout mode. Select a different layout if necessary. Change or shorten the article description so that it only contains the information required by the operator. Words that are too long can be separated by a space (e.g. Blueberry cake > Heidelb. Cake).
- Select at least the properties - sales items on the right.
- If other options are required, select these as well.
- You can now press the Save button, which makes your item available to the POS system.
- If you use more than one point of sale, a prompt will appear asking you to assign the item to the available points of sale.
Done, you have perfectly created the first recipe item that can be booked at the checkout!
