  • The Deposit numbers are used in the POS tables to attach a Deposit amount
    (e.g. 10 cents) to an item such as a can of pop.
  • A deposit is attached to an item, using the Inventory - Item Maintenance Editor.
  • When the item is sold at the POS, a Deposit is applied automatically and the value of the Deposit added to the Item price, but displayed separately to it.
  • Deposits are neither taxable nor can they be discounted.
 
  • To select a Deposit to edit, click on it's record on the left hand side of the form.
  •  Click on the 'Save' button to Save the record.
  • To add a new record, click on the 'New' button and fill in the new Deposit number and description.  Click 'Save' to save the new record.
  • To remove a Deposit click on the 'Delete' button.  If the parent Deposit contains any 'child' items, the operation will not be allowed.
Here is an explanation of the columns (field names) in the table.
  • Deposit Number - Use a unique, non zero number for the Deposit TableNumber. 
    The numbers need not be sequential, just easy to use. e.g. 1 = 10c , 2 = 20c etc...
  • POS Description - A different Description is used for Labels e.g. 10c Dep.
  • Dollar Value - The numeric worth of each deposit.
  • In Department - The Department that the deposit reports to when sold. So set up a 'Deposits' Department in the Department Setup also.
Global Options are:
  • Include Deposit In Label Price -  When you print a label, if the Item carries a deposit,
     the deposit value will be included in the advertized price on the label.
