Operation Educate is part of a ongoing effort from Ensign Systems Inc., to help better educate POS•IM users with some of the basic features of POS•IM software.

Item Sales Prompt

This is a excellent tool to remind the salesperson about an "add on" item that is available for the product being purchased or something that is required to enable the purchased item to be used (batteries or a cable for example.)

The Item Sales Prompt feature is located by right-clicking on the Item card in Inventory-Analyzer, then selecting Item Sales Prompt. It lets you add a sales prompt for an item that is automatically shown when the item is entered on a Working Invoice. This allows you to increase sales by telling the customer about other items related to the item that they might want to purchase.

The following screen is shown in Sales-Point when items with prompts are entered on a Working Invoice. If nothing is entered for an item in Inventory-Analyzer, then no prompt will be shown when the item is entered.
