How to use modified and custom specials
With enough security (or a security override), it is possible to apply an existing line item Special but change the discount amount or percentage.
To apply a modified special to a line item:
1. Click the Special button associated with the line item to be discounted and the Special selection dialog is displayed with only those Specials associated with this line item.
2. Select the Special to modify and apply to the line item by clicking on it.
3. Click the Modify button.
4. Enter a Percent Discount or a Flat Rate Discount or click Override Price and enter a new price.
5. Click OK and the Special name and the new Special amount is displayed on the Special button for that line item.
Sometimes a Special is needed that is not standard or is for a special occasion. Operators with sufficient security clearance (or with a security override) can enter a Custom Special and define the discount amount on the fly.
To apply a custom special to a single line item:
1. Click the Special button associated with the line item to be discounted and the Special selection dialog is displayed with only those Specials associated with this line item.
2. Click the Custom Special button and click OK.
3. Enter a Percent Discount or a Flat Rate Discount or click Override Price and enter a price.
4. Click OK and the word Custom and the custom Special amount are displayed on the Special button for that line item.
