Configuration:
To use these descriptions at the POS, you will need to add a button for the specific description. The button type will be Function, and all the functions begin with “Product Description …”. Select whichever one you plan on using. Once you press the button at the POS, it will automatically print what you have in the product for that field.
*Note: If you do not want it to automatically print, add the function “Enable Print Preview” before the Product Description function. This will show you what would print and you have the option to print it or go back to the previous screen.
You can find a full guide for creating POS buttons here: Create POS Buttons / Button Configuration
POS:
Add a product to the transaction. Go to the menu where you added your new button and select it. Either a receipt will print out with the description that you added in the Edit Product screen or you will be taken to a Print Preview screen where you can view the description.
