Adding a Non-Inventory Sales Item

In the PAYD Pro PlusTM In-Store Solution, you can add a non-inventory item to the current sale through the Non-Inventory Product popup, accessed from the POS view. When adding a non-inventory item to a sale, you can also choose to add it to inventory (depending on your user permissions).

You can also use the Non-Inventory Product popup to charge $0.00 for an item by entering 0.00 in the Price field. If the total amount of the sale transaction is also $0.00, you can accept only cash as the payment type. $0.00 items are still considered "sold" and therefore affect inventory counts as normal.

Once an item is added to the sale, you can increase/decrease the item's quantity, view item details, override the retail price, set applicable taxes, apply a discount to the product and remove the item from the sale. You can use the product discount function to charge $0.00 for an item by reducing the price by 100%. This option is available as an alternative to using the Non-Inventory Product popup.

NOTE: You can assign a customer to the sale at any time during the transaction. For details, see Assigning a Customer to a Sale.

NOTE: It is also possible to add a non-inventory item using the PAYD Pro Plus Mobile App. See Adding Non Inventory Products for more information.
