With Point-of-Sale Adders, you can apply up to three fees to a POS transaction total, such as for a fuel surcharge or environmental fees. The system calculates Adders by a percentage or sliding scale of the transaction's subtotal. You can include or exclude Special Records in the calculation. Adders can be set up to calculate based on a manually-entered amount, flat amount, flat amount by dollar range, or percentage by dollar range. Adders are defined in Option Configuration's Maintain Point-of-Sale Adders function, and are linked to SKUs in inventory to achieve proper G/L departmental passoff.
If several transactions require Adders, you can set up an option to display the list of Adders automatically when a POS transaction is totaled. If few transactions require Adders, you can manually access the list of Adders through the POS totals menu instead of having it display automatically.
You can control by customer whether or not the clerk is prompted to apply a POS Adder to that customer’s transactions, if needed. You can also associate up to three POS Adders with a specific customer. Then, at POS, the system automatically suggests these Adders when a clerk totals a transaction for that customer. The clerk has the chance to make modifications before those Adders are posted to the transaction.
Adders print in the subtotals section of the POS document, although treated as line-items on the transactio itself, similar to how sales tax prints in that section. This helps the customer see clearly the Adder(s) on the invoice.
To apply an Adder while creating an Order from a Bid, you must first save the order and then recall it to apply the Adder. Adders are allowed and can be applied when invoicing orders with remaining backorders. Adders are not allowed when using partial invoicing through POS posting menu option 3.
Multistore users: Each store has its own list of Adders.
