Use the following procedure to create an Order using the AIMI interface.
From POS, with your cursor in the Item (SKU) field, select No Sale Menu option M-AIMI Firearm Import. A dialog box of all AIMI transactions eligible for import displays. An eligible transaction is one marked in the AIMI system with a status that matches those you defined in option 1406.
Do one of the following to add a firearm item from the AIMI interface to the order:
Check the box(es) of the transactions you wish to post, and press OK.
Enter a firearm SKU / Item number. The AIMI interface will automatically display any items in the export directory that match that SKU – regardless of status.
Enter a firearm SKU / Item number and do not choose an item from the AIMI list. You can recall the order at invoice time and assign the item then. The selected item(s) posts to the grid. You should see additional description lines for serial number, manufacturer, and model. Notice that the “ship to” name and address information is updated on the header screen. The “short id” field contains the customer's phone number.
Optionally take a deposit and save and print the order.
When the firearm is cleared (background checks, waiting periods, etc.) and the customer returns, recall the order and complete the sale.
