About Marking Items on Sale

How are sale items applied at the register?

Note: If an item marked on sale is also part of a Yield Management adjustment, the Yield Management adjustment will take precedence and the sale price will not be used.

  • When an "on sale" item is added to the register Smart Receipt, the price of the item is automatically adjusted based on the discount type configured in the sale.
  • Selecting the sale item in the Smart Receipt reveals the usual details, along with the name of the sale that was applied.
  • If the item on sale is configured to disallow the application of any discounts, you are still able to replace the "sale" with a discount in the register, provided you have Grant access to the following security key: Register > Register > Discount > Replace Item on Sale Discount.

Are all services and products available to mark on sale?

For a service or product to be eligible to mark on sale, it must be active and it must not be a part of another sale that occurs during the same date range.

Note: Once a product is marked on sale, it will remain available for sale in the register regardless of its on-hand count or discontinued status.

How are sales applied to services that have employee-specific pricing?

The sale is applied to the employee-specific price.

How does an Item Marked on Sale affect employee commission?

An employee can receive commission based on the post-discount price of the item. This adjustment automatically gives the employee a new starting commission price. It cannot be removed, which is why the "Full Commission" option is not available in the register if this is the only discount on the transaction. Note price adjustments from Items Marked on Sale are always honored in commission calculations, even if Full Commission is enabled.
