Quick Launch Button Options

You can create quick launch buttons to automate many different functions (see: Creating Quick Launch Buttons). The following options are some commonly used functions. Note that all commands are entered into the “Action” field during quick launch button setup.

All Numbers(0-9) and capital letters (A-Z) are accepted, rest codes can be found here:

eg:

{OemOpenBrackets}{Divide}{C, Shift}ASE{OemCloseBrackets}      will return:       [/Case]

{Oemcomma, Shift}{OemPeriod, Shift}       will return:          <>

Insert SKU / Code into Sale

Type in a SKU or code, and the button will enter that information into the “Enter SKU/CODE” field of the sale window. Put “{Enter}” (without quotation marks) after your SKU and the button will automatically add the item to the sale. For example 1024{Enter} will add SKU 1024 into the transaction.  If there are letters in SKU codes they should be capitalized in the action field.

 

Change Customer

To change the currently active customer during a sale, use the action: <member ID>{Enter} and the current customer will be changed to the one corresponding to the member ID you entered. Example:

M10005008{Enter} will change the current customer to the customer with member ID “M10005008”.

 

Auto Discount Buttons

To automatically discount the current transaction by a set percentage. For example:

{F2}5{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter}  = 5% Discount

{Discount}10% = 10% Discount for Current Selected Item

{Discount}All10% = 10% Discount for All Items

By default, it always discount from regular price, unless you turn on switch 092 in store settings.

 

Auto Select Payment / Transaction Type

You can automatically select a specific type of payment, or a special transaction type by using: {Payment}PaymentTypeOrTransactionType. For example:

{Payment}Visa = Visa Payment

{Payment}Cash = Cash Payment

{Payment}Park = Park Transaction

{Payment}Quotation = Quotation Transaction Type

Change Tab

If you have multiple tabs set up for quick launch buttons, you can create a button to automatically select a specific tab by using the option: {TabPage}TabPageName where “TabPageName” is the name of the tab you want to access. For example: {TabPage}Propane will switch to the “Propane” tab.

{Report}Sales By Clerk{Query}Till Name = [TillName]{BackDays}30

{Report}Inventory By Department
