Associated Items
Definition: the additional items included on the invoice when a primary item is entered into an invoice.
Example: When a bow rake is sold, sell the bow rake at the current promotion price and include a pair of gloves and a discount coupon for the gloves automatically.
By utilizing the Associated Items feature within the IC module, the system will automatically add the indicated items to the invoice. In this example, the user will add two associations to the item:
1) one pair of gloves
2) a discount coupon equal to the retail value of the gloves
The final invoice should appear as shown below:
Steps to setup:
1) Add 209943 (Men GRY Suede Glove) and verify the retail price of the product.
2) Add item CPN-209943 to the inventory file. Indicate the Item Type "Coupons" when adding the item to the system, set the Matrix to Cash Value, then indicate the $ Off Price which is equal to the retail of the 209943 item ($2.99).
3) Find 248283 (Bow Rake) in the system and then select the "Associated" button at the bottom of the screen. Select "New" and then enter the items as indicated.
4) Test the transaction within the POS screen by entering the rake's item number. The system will automatically add the gloves and discount coupon.
The invoice will result in the reduction from inventory of one rake and one pair of gloves at the sale price of only the rake.
