EPOS Quick Sell / EPOS Management Panel
Quick sell and admin function buttons
The eight purple "quick sell" buttons can be set to allow easy access to your most popular sales lines. Each button displays the selected stock item's EPOS description, as setup in the[ Stock | Detail | Telesales/Internet | Primary ] screen. For more information on how to setup a quick sell item description please see How To: Setup Stock Item EPOS Quick Sales Descriptions.
The four admin function buttons are:
- Customer: opens the Customer Detail dialog, allowing you to associate an EPOS order with a specific customer record (by default, all sales are recorded against the generic "EPOS" customer).
- Manage: opens the EPOS Management Panel.
- Print: opens the Print EPOS Report Panel.
- Stock List: opens the EPOS Stock Lookup dialog. The Stock Code and Description filters use the wildcard buttons as well as the wildcard symbol %; for examples of wildcard use and the results they return see Examples of Using the Wildcard Buttons and %.
