Pro

Use this procedure to add a group of items to inventory as a style. What is a style?

Note: The availability of the style feature can be controlled by your Features to Use preference settings.

To add a new style:

1. Display your item list and select Add.

A blank Add Item form is displayed.

3. Enter the Item Name, Item Type (typically Inventory), and Department. These values must be the same for all members of a style.

4. Click the Style button.

The Style window is displayed.

5. Enter information that is common to all items in the style in the item fields in the upper section of the window.

Important: Enter only information that is common to ALL items in the style. If the style items differ in cost or price, leave these fields blank. Point of Sale will auto-fill these fields when you make receiving vouchers to receive the items from your vendor or you can edit the fields later for individual items.

6. In the bottom section, choose a predefined template from the drop-down list in the Select a Style Template field to apply it to the new style.

OR

Select Add New from the template drop-down list to define a new style template and then apply it to the style.

OR

Add style sizes and attributes directly on the style grid in the lower pane, using these guidelines:

- Click the Click to add labels on the horizontal and/or vertical axes and enter the various sizes and attributes included in the style. Note: The axes labels will reflect your custom item description labels.

- Right-click a column or row header to access a popup menu with additional options for rearranging the order, deleting, or adjusting widths of columns. You can also select to turn on/off the grid totals or to save the grid as a new template from this menu.

7. Enter a 0 (zero) in each grid cell corresponding to the items you are or will be carrying in the style.

This creates a line in your item list for those items. When you first receive the new items on a receiving voucher, Point of Sale will add the received quantities. Leave a cell blank if you do not plan to carry a particular size/attribute combination.

Note: If the style items are already physically in the store and not being received on a voucher, you can enter the actual on-hand quantities instead of zeroes.

8. Select Save.

9. Edit individual style items, as necessary, to reflect unique UPCs, costs, prices, etc. There are two efficient ways to do this:

- Select a cell in the style grid corresponding to an item you want to edit and press <F5> (or right-click and select Edit Item Details). Make changes in the Item Information window and then select OK.

- Display the style in your item list and use list edit mode to make necessary changes.
