Sales from Stock

Another major part of most businesses is selling products and services which do not require custom ordering. That is, they are sold from store stock (inventory). The distinction between a stock sale and a custom order is explained in detail on page 47. In most cases, if the item is on hand, and you don't have to order it for the customer, it is a "stock sale."

If you have entered your "on-hand" items into inventory, you may "pick" items to sell. This is done from the Main Selection Screen for Store Stock, shown on page 46. In any case you use the Stock Sale Grid, shown left below, to enter item numbers (from price tags, or 99, followed by description, for miscellaneous items), quantities and prices. To write up specifications, use Custom Order (See pg. 49).

On both custom orders and sales from stock, enter the customer's payment on the Cash Register Screen, shown above right. If the amount is payment in full, press enter when the amount shows as OK. If they are splitting their payment, or paying any other amount at this time (such as nothing {0}), enter the amount right over the OK (examples 40.00 or 0). The next "prompt" is "done." If you accept Y by pressing Enter, you will get the screen to enter the customer name and information. If you type N, you will have the opportunity to enter a second partial payment. The payment may be split only two ways.

Other sales related transactions, such as returns, may be entered from the menu below, which you "pull up" by pressing F3 from the Stock Sale Grid screen.
