Quick Sale Customers

The Enter a Quick Sale routine does not require you specify a customer for each Quick Sale transaction. Instead, for each of your system operators, the system creates a Quick Sale customer code. The first time an operator enters a Quick Sale transaction without specifying a customer, the system creates the code and then uses it for all of the operator's future Quick Sale transactions. Once created, the Quick Sale customer code defaults into the Customer field. Operators can enter a new customer code at any time until a payment is made, at which time the Customer field becomes inactive. To edit the Customer field, operators must delete all payments made to the current transaction.

If an operator works at multiple locations, the system creates a Quick Sale Customer code for each location. The system creates Quick Sale codes by combining the following:

• the prefix "FC",

• the location at which the initial transaction took place,

• the operator's user code.

For example, if operator LLV enters a Quick Sale transaction at location 18 without specifying a customer, the system creates the following Quick Sale Customer Code:

FC0018LLV

For customers created via the Quick Sale process, the End-of-Month process purges all data if no activity occurs for the customer for a period of time longer than the period specified at the Customer Retention Months field in the Point of Sale Control Settings.

You cannot refund payments to quick sale customers.  You must refund the payment to the actual customer.

If a quick sale order contains a warranty, you cannot use a quick sale customer.

The system uses quick sale customers only for quick sales. Thus, the Advanced Customer Settings routine does not allow you edit quick sale customers.
