Single key lookup
 
This method allows a unique single keystroke to be linked to products so that when the key is typed in Sales, the product is selected for sale. If multiple products are coded with the same key, then a list is presented to the operator of all of these products and the operator must select one.
 
Example:
If the programmable keyboard code for a product is set to A, when A typed at the salespoint, the product is automatically selected for sale. If multiple products are set to A, then a list of all products set to A are presented to the operator on a pop-up dialog and he must choose from the list.
 
To specify the use of the single key lookup method at salespoints:
1. Go to SysManager > Activities > System Lists > Salespoints.
2. Highlight the salespoint to configure and click the Edit button.
3. Access the Misc tab.
4. Select Single Key Lookup.
5. Save your changes.
 
Note: You can also change this setting in Sales by going to Tools > Sales Pt Setup > Miscellaneous.
 
To enter a programmable keyboard code for an item:
1. Go to the SysManager > Activities > DCIs > New item/Edit item > Sales Actions tab.
2. Click the Press to set button and press the key that is to be used to automatically sell this product.
3. Save your changes.
 
Note: Currently, there is no way to remove a programmed key for an item - the only option is to re-assign a key to an item that is rarely touched by an operator.
