Discounts

Hi I would like suggestions on how to implement a button for discounting.



Example



Let's say a customer buys 5 items. I want a button named "10% Off" that when clicked it discounts all 5 items by 10% automatically.



Can this be done and if so how?


It would be nice to be able to set a macro to do this process, but the macro recording pauses when you use Shift-F3 for the Discount screen.

To discount all items in a sale

  1. After you ring up all the applicable items, press Shift-F3. The Set Discount/Price Level window appears.

  1. Under the Discount/Price Level Action heading, select the desired action by which you want to discount the items (i.e., Set discount method for transaction; Perform discount on all items).

  2. Select one of the associated discount, level, or amount options on the right side of the screen. Note that the available options will vary depending on the Desired Action selected.

  1. In the Percent/Amount box, enter the desired discount percentage/amount.

  2. Press Enter.

If your store is configured to require reason codes, Store Operations will display the Select a customer discount reason code window, from which you can select the applicable reason code, and then press Enter.

Note: Whenever you discount/modify the item price > Hi

Or you could setup a "10% discount" customer and have a button on the right that sets the customer to this particular "customer" and essentially gives a

10% discount. This way you'll also be able to track how often this "customer/discount" is used. Of course the above assumes that you are not using customer information for each transaction already.

You can create a Macro.

When the recording pauses after hitting Shift-F3, simply hit Shift-F3 again and it will start up again
