- [PRODUCT ENTRY]
-
- The product entry portion of the display in the lower
- left corner is activated by selecting the proper task
- for PRODUCT under the EDIT menu at the top of your
- screen, using the buttons across the bottom of the
- screen, or using the [F4]/[F5] keys.
-
- [EDIT]
- Once a product has been selected using the
- PRODUCT SEARCH button, (magnifying glass),
- selecting EDIT will cause the fields to become
- active and the product's information can be edited.
- If you are using the CATEGORIES method of
- grouping, select your predefined category from
- the drop-list and enter the appropriate information
- in the other fields.
-
- The PRODUCT NAME field should give a good
- description of the product and will appear on the
- invoice as well as other lists.
-
- Entering information in the BARCODE field is done
- by left-clicking once in the field. When the barcode
- entry panel opens, either type or scan the product's
- barcode into the BARCODE field, hit the tab key to
- move to the VERIFY field, and type or scan the pro-
- duct's barcode. When the two entries match, the
- panel will close and the barcode will appear in the
- product panel.
-
- The QUANTITY field will automatically be decreased
- with each sale. When new stock is received, the
- product should be edited and the new quantity up-
- dated.
-
- When the QUANTITY field decreases to the level
- set in the MIN. field, an alert is generated on the sale
- screen and the item name is added to the ORDER
- LIST.
-
- The COST and PRICE fields reflect the price paid
- for the item and the price the item is sold for.
- When this information is entered properly, the
- GROSS field will display the profit on the sale.
-
- The VENDER field holds the name of the company
- where the item was purchased.
-
- The SALES TAX checkbox is an important feature
- allowing the user to selectively charge sales tax
- on products. If the box is checked, sales tax will
- be applied to the product on the sale, if it is un-
- checked, only the actual price of the item will be
- added to the total sale.
-
- The BARCODE SEARCH button is used to locate
- products by their associated barcode for editing.
- When the button is pressed, the fields are cleared
- and the program waits for a valid barcode to be
- scanned. If the barcode is not present, the message
- 'Product not found' will be displayed. The user will
- then need to search for the product using the
- product search button. The new barcode can then
- be entered.
