Use the following procedure to ring up items in POS during a bag/bucket sale.
In Order Entry/POS, start a transaction by signing on as you normally would. Then do one of the following, depending on your setup:
If option 8637 "Allow Bag/Bucket Sale feature in POS" is set to B (manually start bag sale by typing B in the Price field), then as you post the first bag sale item, or from a blank posting screen, enter B in the Price field to begin the bag sale. Then enter the rest of the items being purchased as you normally would.
If option 8637 "Allow Bag/Bucket Sale feature in POS" is set to A (automatic), the system starts the bag sale automatically. Simply enter the items being purchased as you normally would.
If you display an item's price prior to posting, the displayed price is the customer’s regular price (not the bag sale price). However, as soon as the item is posted in the grid, the bag sale discount is applied.
(Optional) You can change the percent off if you have security bit 810 "Allow override of Bag/Bucket Sale discount." Simply type B followed by the new percent in the POS posting area's Price field for the item. You can enter a percent sign and/or a dash after the B, but neither are required. For example, to give 10% off, you can type any of the following: B10, B10%, B-10, or B-10%. All subsequent items will use the new percent, unless you change the percent again on a subsequent item.
Once you override the default promotion percent, the bag sale assumes the new promotion percent for the remainder of the sale, unless you reset the transaction by typing B in the Price field and pressing Enter, which will once again assume the promotion percent defined in option 8639 "Default Bag/Bucket Sale Discount."
To end the bag sale for a transaction, enter E in the Price field of the last item you want to include in the bag sale, or simply enter an E in the Price field from a blank posting screen, and press Enter. Either method stops the Bag Sale feature from giving the discount on subsequent items. Then ring up any items that didn't fit in the bag.
Press Total. If you didn't type an E in the previous step to end the bag sale, the system knows to automatically end the bag sale when you press Total. The Bag Sale items are posted with a D on the receipt/invoice indicating the items have been discounted.
During a Bag Sale transaction, line-item returns will post with the promotion percent off; therefore, Epicor suggests that you NOT post line-item returns during a bag sale (in between entering the B to begin and the E to end the Bag Sale).
