How can we donate gift cards and not have it look like we accepted cash for them?

Q: For example, I want to donate a $20 gift card for a charity auction. I make the gift card, but I have to put some sort of payment in for the gift card in order for the money to be on the card. If I hit exact change then the POS assumes that I took $20 in cash and that shows up on our report as a sale.

Is there a way to activate the card with $20 on it without it showing up in our system as a cash payment?

A: From the POS menu screen:

From the menu functions at the bottom of the screen, go to : Discounts. From the Discounts Screen, go to Item Discount -%100.00, this will appy a 100 percent discount to the item and chage the order $0.00 dollars.

Or

Use the Discounts - 'Zero Out Order' button - This set all prices of the order to $0.00.

Press “Exact Change” or one of the dollar payment methods to close out the order.

If I took weight out of inventory by reducing the number in the product count field in the item screen, would I be able to see that change anywhere?

This issue is raised when trying to track inventory changes. For example: I can’t remember if I took something out of inventory or not and I am not sure how to check.

In a situation like this, if there was a change made to a product count, you cannot track the change.

  • You should then disable the authorization to change the count - Office - Employees - Job Types.
  • And you should use Transaction's to adjust the inventory count. You can add new transaction types: - Office - (Main Toolbar) System - Order Types.

Then make an Order Type called, “Inventory Adjustment” or anything that would indicate why you are using this transaction to adjust the inventory, such as waste etc.

Use the Transaction they same way you would as a Purchase Order, and receive purchase orders. Inventory Control - Receiving Purchase Orders

Day will not close - Gift Cards

If you attempt to close your day with Gift Cards having been issued but not paid for you will receive an error.

It's best not to leave transactions open with gift cards. This is a security feature which prevents unauthorized/paid gift cards from being used.

But if you run into this issue:

  1. Open Office
  2. -(main Toolbar) - Reporting - Item History
  3. Input the date
  4. Select 'Order Date' from the filter date type.
  5. Press 'View Items'

You will have to sort by the completion date and find items without a completion date. Then you can highlight using 'Select + Click' and then right click to delete the items, or use the toolbar above.
