Accumulate scanned items in POS

When scanning an item in POS, by default subsequent scans of the same item will increment the single line by 1 each time.

In some cases, you may want it so that instead of incrementing a line it adds the same item on a separate line.

To do this as a one-off:

 

To do this as a one-off:

 

  1. Scan/enter the first item

  2. Hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and hit F3 - Add Special

  3. Select Product

  4. Enter the code manually or scan it if applicable

  5. It will create a new line with the same product

In POS Settings on the POS Display tab.

There are THREE Options for “When scanning products”

By Default:

  • It will be set to Always accumulate quantity throughout whole sale.

This will increment a line item when scanning the same product anywhere in the Sale.

  • If you change it to Accumulate quantity only if scanned sequentially.

This will increment a line item when scanning the same product sequentially in the Sale.

Once a different product is scanned or entered in POS, then a new line will be created for the same item previously scanned.

You can also enter a Blank Line or Text Line in POS after scanning an item to put that same product on a new line, without entering other products in-between.

  • Never accumulate quantities

This will always create a new line in POS for each product scanned or entered, including multiples of the same product.
