Click Finish
Offer your customer a trade:
Add the item to the sale
If the balance is in the negative then repeat the steps above to give the customer cash or store credit.
If the balance is in the positive then finish the sale as normal.
NOTES:
Once the sale is completed the item will appear in store inventory and purchase will be recorded in your sales summary and Sales detail report.
If you do clear an item from the POS, it will be fully deleted from your inventory
Store purchases will appear in the Sales Summary and Sales Detail report under Store Purchase Cost.
Once you add the item to inventory the cost field will be blank. This is because the cost of the item has already been recorded once the sale is completed. Do not add anything to the cost field, because when it sells it will double the cost of the item in the system, throwing off your books.
