Product Sizes & Price Shifts Overview
Products can be configured to enable them to be sold in different sizes that have a different price and quantity.
A Price Shift button is required on the EPoS keyboard to toggle between the different sizes. In PocketTouch the Toggle button is used to price shift.
The benefits of using a Price Shift for a product sold in different sizes is that it saves keyboard space and keeps the stock quantities correct.
Common examples of how price shifts are used, include:
Example 1: A draught beer sold in pints and half pints
| 1st@Price | 2nd@Price | 3rd@price | 4th@price |
Price | 4.65 | 2.54 |
|
|
Qty | 1 | 0.5 |
|
|
Alt Text | NA | 1/2 |
|
|
Example 2: A spirit sold in singles and doubles
| 1st@Price | 2nd@Price | 3rd@price | 4th@price |
Price | 3.40 | 6.40 |
|
|
Qty | 1 | 2 |
|
|
Alt Text | NA | DBL |
|
|
Example 3: Wine sold in Bottles, 250ml, 175ml & 125ml
| 1st@Price | 2nd@Price | 3rd@price | 4th@price |
Price | 23.00 | 8.50 | 6.00 | 4.10 |
Qty | 1 | 0.33 | 0.23 | 0.16 |
Alt Text | NA | 250ml | 175ml | Fixed Char 80 |
In the examples above:
NA - highlights the fact that text cannot be set for the 1st@Price
Fixed Char 80 - This text has to be set via Programming - Fixed Character Programming - Number 80
Note: The 1st@Price should always be the default selling size for the product eg Pint or Single.
Product sizes / price shifts setup
Products > PLU Details Programming > Details Tab
Select the product that you want to add size / price shifts
For each size (max 4) you need to add a value in @price and a quantity in the corresponding @ quantity fields.
Add the appropriate Alt text modifier - this is the text that appears before the product description when the price shift button is pressed. eg STELLA ARTOIS -> 1/2 STELLA ARTOIS
Any products that are not using product sizes / price shifts should have a zero quantity in the 2nd@, 3rd@ & 4th@quantity fields.
