Add item to a transaction

There are three ways to add an item to a transaction:

1. Scanning the Barcode​
2. Searching For the Item​
3. Line Item Entry
4. Add New Item Shortcut(usually used in antique malls.)
   
   

Scanning the Barcode

First, click inside the search bar next to the green tag. Then, scan the barcode and the item will automatically be added to the transaction.Searching for the Item

First, click inside the search bar next to the green tag. Next, type in a short description of the item name you want to find and press the "Enter" key.

SimpleConsign will do a search through your inventory and display the search results. If it does not find any inventory matching your search, it will add a new blank item to the transaction where you will be able to fill in details for the blank item at that time.

From there you have a few options. If you did not find the item you were looking, for you can click the "Try Another Search" button and search again. If you find your item and wish to add it to the transaction, either double click on the item or select it by clicking it once and then clicking the "Found My Item" button.

You can also add a new item to your inventory from here. If you wish to take some of the details from another item that had been previously entered, you can select that item and click the "Add Similar Item" button and edit the details from there. You can also add a blank item that will have the name of whatever you searched for by clicking the "Enter Item Manually" button and you can fill in the rest of the details from there.

Line Item Entry

The line item entry feature streamlines the process of adding items to a transaction during checkout. It includes clearly labeled column headers to help you quickly view and input key item details, such as:

• Consignor
• Item Name
• Category
• Discount
• Quantity
• Price
• Total Price

You can navigate through the entry fields by tabbing over to populate the required information. Press "Enter" to finalize the item and add it to the transaction. A new entry line will automatically appear if you need to add additional items.

This feature is enabled by default but can be hidden if needed. To do so, click the "three dots" icon and select Hide Line Entry Area.

Add New Item Shortcut (antique mall shortcut)

This way will add an item to your inventory and sell it in the same transaction. This method is usually used in antique malls. Click inside the search area next to the green tag as done above and type in an item using the following formula: "ConsignorID Price ItemName" There is an example below.

Even Dollar Amounts

If the item's price is an even dollar amount, ".00" is required in the price as shown above.

Press the "Enter" key and a new item will be added to the transaction. You can then click on the item and fill in any additional information you may need.
