How to: Add an Item to the POS
There are several ways to add an item to the sale:
Type the Item Description or Item Number
Sell a Gift Card to a Customer
Scan a Barcode
-
If you have a barcode scanner, you can directly scan the item's barcode either in the item search field or within the advanced search tab. When the scanned barcode corresponds to a specific item, LS Express will automatically add that item to the sale. See Barcodes for more information on how to set up the barcodes.
Type the Item Description or Item Number
-
You can manually type the item description or item number in the search field. As you type, the system will suggest matching items based on your input. You can select the desired item from the list to add it to the sale.
Use the Menus
There are two default item menus available in the POS: "My Items" and "All Items."
-
"My Items" are the items that the user has added to their personalized list in the role center.
-
"All Items" lists all items available in the system. You can search and select items from this menu.
For more information, see My Lists.
Filtered menus can also be created to group specific items together for quick access. For example, you can create a "Specials" menu to include promotional items. For more information, see Filtered Item Group.
The menus show the item, the quantity on hand and the item price excluding tax.
-
To add an item from the menu, simply select the item(s) you want to add to the sale, and then close the item list.
-
The Item card can be accessed from the Item list by simply selecting the item and opening the details menu, and from there, select Open Item Card.
Sell a Gift Card to a Customer
Once you have added a Gift Card to the item list, you should be able to sell and receive gift cards at the POS.
-
To sell a gift card, select the "Gift Card" that you have configured as a non-inventory item.
-
Enter a unique Gift Card Code and the requested Amount for the gift card.
Note: We recommend that you choose your own code for gift cards.
-
Click the OK button. The gift card is added to the sales line.
-
After payment posting, the system will create a new gift card. See Gift Card List.
