Point of Sale App Item Availability (Quantity on Hand)

When availability is configured, when you access the order entry screen you will see the available quantity on hand or if the item is unavailable. Unavailable items cannot be added to an order until a supervisor edits the quantity on hand or removes the limit. Working with item availability also enables you to create an item countdown at the POS. Each time an employee adds the item to a guest check, the Point of Sale app decrements the quantity on hand.

NOTE:
If you use multiple POS devices at a location and do not use a local server, the system cannot synchronize item availability across devices. 

There are two ways to edit item availability:

• Using the Enter Quantity on Hand at the POS home screen
• Long-pressing the item on the order entry screen
