A POS Preset is a button linked to a product allowing you to quickly select the product rather than scanning or searching for it. Presets are ideal for the following scenarios:
- Items that are not suitable for Barcoding
- Adding a Preset for Carrier Bag charges
- Service charges such as Adjustments and Hire
- Postage
- Cafeteria items
- Selling at department level rather than unit level
Creating a Preset
On the Stock System
Firstly you need to create a product in your stock system. You can specify a price on the product or set the price to 0 if you wish for the POS to prompt for a price at the time of selection. Once the product has reached the POS (You may need to force a PLU file) you are ready to create your Preset.
On the POS.

Tips
- It's possible to create a Preset that is not linked to a product, this should be avoided as no record will be sent back to your stock system.
