To Be Considered

 

  1. Products can only be deleted using the Products tab in the Delete Records screen.
  2. To ensure Products are available in the Web Store, make sure they are assigned to a Family that is Web enabled.
  3. Note : When adding a new Product, that Product will automatically be available for purchase in the Web Store (subject to it being configured as a Web available Product) or via the Order API. However the new Product will NOT show in the Table Tracking database until a update request is sent to the SwiftPOS Touch terminal. While an updated has NOT been sent, Products that are ordered via the Web and are NOT in the Table Tracking database, will automatically be assigned to the Comments PLU (19995) with a String PLU description. This will ensure those Web Orders are processed immediately, rather than being held up by a delayed SwiftPOS Touch Full Update.
  4. Note : If the site is registered for Advanced Host Integration, then a Metcash tab will be visible in the Product Full Edit screen.

Working with Locations

 

It is possible to make every Product active or inactive in every Location in SwiftPOS. This feature is used primarily in conjunction with reporting to enable them to be effectively filtered to show only relevant Products. Currently, this feature is being used with the Price List reports as well as the Inventory Count Sheets. This feature is very useful when you do not sell all of your Products in every Location, eg: A hotel has 3 Locations, a Bar, a lounge and a bottle shop. A Product such as a carton of XXXX would only be sold in the bottle shop so the lounge and bar Locations can be set as inactive. When you then go and run the Inventory Count Sheets report the carton of XXXX Product will only have a record for the bottle shop Location, which is the only place it is sold.

 

Active - The Active option allows each Location to be set as active/inactive for each individual Product.

 

In addition to the settings listed above it is also possible to only display certain Price Levels and Location costs in the Product Full Edit screen. When a single Location Group (Venue) is selected a lookup on the database is performed and a list of all Locations and Price Levels assigned to the selected Location Group (Venue) are returned. These are the Location costs and Price Levels that you will see in the screen. If you select the ALL option then you will just see every Price Level and every Location cost.
