Adding Tagalong Items

This information automatically fills in for you from the inventory screen of the item you are setting up to tag along. You cannot change any of this information.

If you are set to Price Independent, then you may enter the prices for each of the 5 levels here. This will only affect the prices for this item when it is a tag along. If the item is manually added to an invoice, then the prices on its inventory screen would be used. This is most useful if you are doing a buy this item and get this one free.

Price method lets you select whether you want to manually set the price of the item that is tagging along, or if you want it to automatically use the prices that are on that item's inventory screen. Select Price Independent if you want to set the prices for the tagalong item manually. The 5 price level fields will open up for you to type in the prices you want. Select Use Main Product if you want the prices controlled by the inventory screen of the tagalong item.

Enter the number of these items you wish to tag along. Note that whatever you enter here will be multiplied by the number of the base item that is being sold. For example, you have 1 of item 123 set to tag along whenever item 456 is sold. If you sell 1 of 456, then 1 of 123 would be added to the invoice; if you sell 2 of 456, then 2 of 123 would tag along.

Choose Auto Add to have the item tag along automatically. The clerk is not given any option as to whether or not to allow the item to tag along. Choose Prompt for Price if you want to give the sales clerk the option of changing the price when the item tags along. Choose Prompt for Quantity if you want to give the sales clerk the option of changing the number of items that are tagging along. (This would also allow an entry of 0 so that no item tagged along.) Choose Prompt for Both to give the sales clerk the option of changing both the price and quantity of the item.
