If you have the need to sell more items of an item that is already in the the POS you should look at the Reorder functionality. The POS has two commands to reorder sales lines: REORDERQTY and REORDERMENUTYPE.

POS Command REORDERQTY

This command can be used to reorder a current sales line and all its linked lines (such as modifiers). It is useful when you want to increase the quantity of an item with modifiers and quantity change is not allowed.

The item along with all linked lines are copied and entered as new items in the transaction. If there is no Parameter, the user enters the quantity to reorder in a numeric pad. If quantity change is allowed for an item, reordering 2 of the item results in a new line with the item and quantity is 2. If quantity change is not allowed, the program creates 2 sets of the current line and its linked lines.

This is what you do:

  1. In your POS, define a REORDER button with the POS Command REORDERQTY.
  2. Sell your item, for example Coffee Large.
  3. Have your line active and use your new REORDER button.
  4. The system prompts you to enter the reorder quantity.
  5. Enter your quantity, for example 3 in this case.
  6. Select OK.
