Use this routine as an alternative to Sales Order Entry when you want to speed a customer through the point-of-sale process.
If you have a product scanner, you can simplify the process to two actions:
scan the product, and
take the payment.
You can use Quick Sale Entry for take-with transactions only. The system does not require you specify a customer for each transaction. The system provides a default "Fast Cash Customer" you can use for all sales in which you don't specify a customer. In this way, you can use the Quick Sale Customer to track Quick sales in the system.
The Quick Sale feature limits you to entering new transactions only. You cannot re-open and edit existing quick sale transactions. The sell date is always the current date and the sell location is always the current location. The Quick Sale Control Settings (Fast Cash ACF) contains several control fields you can use to customize the feature.
In order to use this process you
must have security access via the Enter/Edit
a Sales Order setting in Sales
Security or obtain a security
override from an authorized user.
To use the Quick Sale feature, auto numbering for sales orders must be
active at the Next Transaction Number field in the Point
of Sale Control Settings.
Quick Sale Entry does not support Shopping
Cart processing or Product
Configuration (unless the configurated products are in stock).
For quick sale orders, if the default warehouse location for the log-on
user has the WMS
Interface active, an error message appears and the system returns
to the menu.
After you enter a payment, the Customer field becomes inactive and
you cannot edit its contents. However, if you have entered a payment but
not a customer, you can delete the payments made for this transaction
to re-activate the Customer field and then edit its contents.
If the item you want to enter into Quick Sale Entry has a status of As-Is A status of inventory. Most inventory is considered "regular" inventory. As-is inventory includes everything other than regular inventory, including floor samples, damaged and clearance items, etc., check the box. Otherwise, leave the box blank. If you click on the Search button, you access the As-Is Inventory Inquiry screen from which you can look up existing as-is products and pieces.
If you check this box, the system
sets the Quantity field to 1 and inactivates the field, and
activates the Serial Number field and makes it mandatory.
Enter the product you want to enter into
Quick Sale Entry. If you click on the Search button,
you access the Search
for a Product from which you
can choose a product.

where you can select substitute products for the selected component
in a component priced soft kit.
If the Allow Warranty Only Once
Per Order setting is checked in the Warranty
Category Settings, only one warranty per category is allowed per
open order.
Use this field to specify a piece reference number for as-is A status of inventory. Most inventory is considered "regular" inventory. As-is inventory includes everything other than regular inventory, including floor samples, damaged and clearance items, etc., special-order, or serial-tracked merchandise (when serial-tracking is active). You must enter a valid STORIS piece reference number to continue the transaction. This field is not active for standard inventory. The following Lookups are available:
The quantity of the product being sold defaults to 1 and cannot
be changed for as-is A status of inventory. Most inventory is considered "regular" inventory. As-is inventory includes everything other than regular inventory, including floor samples, damaged and clearance items, etc.,
special-order,
or serial-tracked
products. These products always have a quantity of one. For regular
products, you can change the quantity, but you must change it before
entering the product code. Once the product code is entered, the quantity
field becomes inactive.
If insufficient quantity is available at the sell location, the system
may attempt to perform an automatic
stock adjustment based on the setting at the Automatic Stock Adjustment
field in the Quick
Sale Control Settings.
When adding a soft kit to an order, the Quantity prompt may
be enabled or disabled, depending on your Point
of Sale Control Settings, SOFT KIT – Allow Quantity Ordered Greater
Than One setting.
The
ordered quantity on the sales order displays as individual sales order
