The Products
Overview
The Products module is where you perform all product and pricing maintenance, including:
- adding new products
- searching for a specific product
- editing price and product details
- creating promotions
- deleting a product at the end of its product life or discontinued.
- designate a product as PLB Restricted Product via Category Settings and Product Maintenance Page
All product changes are automatically updated to the POS applications (via an active internet connection). The operator is required to sign out and back in to see the change/s, or wait for the next auto-sync on the app.
