This article is for Newsagencies only.
Newsagencies can set some of their stock items, like newspapers and magazines, with different frequencies, each of which will change the way they behave for arrivals, sales, and returns.
The different types of stock item frequencies are explained below:
- Daily
- Daily is used for any stock item (usually newspapers) that arrives more than once a week.
- In the Stock Screen, you can create a barcode for each day and assign a price for each day.
- When sold using a PLU through the Point of Sale screen, Retailer will automatically use the price of the respective day.
- Daily stock items can be arrived using Express Arrivals.
- In terms of customer deliveries/putaways, any customers with an order will be charged for the respective days of the week unless the order is stopped or a non-arrival is created.
- Weekly
- Weekly is used for any stock item (usually a magazine or newspaper) that arrives once a week.
- In terms of customer deliveries/putaways, any customers with an order will be charged unless the order is stopped or a non-arrival is created.
- Other
- Other is for everything that doesn't arrive on a daily or weekly basis (fortnightly, monthly, yearly).
- Any customers with an order on a stock item with an Other frequency will only be charged for it when it arrives and there isn't a stop on the customer's order.
