The quick sales buttons make it possible to add items with no barcodes (or with illegible barcodes that cannot be scanned) to a trade document. The feature is an alternative method of handling sales, and is mainly directed to shops with a limited assortment, such as catering and service outlets.
The quick sales mode allows the user to add a specific item directly to a document, without having to scan or search for that item; it can be used for the following items:
- Items belonging to an appropriate group defined in the ERP system
- Items belonging to the group of favorite items (if such a group has been defined in the ERP system)
Configuration in Comarch ERP Standard and Comarch ERP XL systems
In the ERP system, it is necessary to select one of the two sales modes
- Standard – in this mode, the original trade document view is used
- Quick sales – in this mode, a simplified view with the quick sales buttons is used
The selection of the quick sales mode affects the presentation of the interface for receipt and sales invoice documents. The main section of the sales view is composed of a panel with quick sales buttons; the panel allows the user to quickly select items to be added to the document with no need to use a barcode scanner or search for the items by their codes.
Configuration in Comarch ERP Enterprise system
In Comarch ERP Enterprise, the quick sales mode works by assigning sales channel item categories to a sales channel and specifying their display order in the Sales channel item categories application.
