To change the date that a product is sold (as if you went ahead or backward in time and were selling on that date), use the set carryover feature (Sales > Tools > Sales Pt Setup > Set Carryover). Set carryover changes the date a product is sold (and therefore the valid date as well) − you enter a number that represents how many days forward or backward you would like to set the current operating date.

For example, if you enter 1, you would be selling on tomorrow’s date (on the current salespoint only). This is useful for operations that utilize a middle-of-the-day checkout. You can set the carryover to 1 and begin selling on the next day while the previous operator closes out. You can also set the carryover backward in order to edit the transactions of a previous day.

 

Note: Remember to set the carryover back to 0 when you are done selling in advance. The carryover does not automatically reset itself unless you exit Sales and restart.

 

Note: A day is twenty-four hours – so entering a 1 causes Salesware module to sell on the following day at the same time (twenty-four hours ahead). Entering a .5 causes Salesware to sell twelve hours ahead. You can enter any decimal here and the functionality depends on the precision of your computer.

 

Note: Reports by sold on or valid on dates reflect the carryover date, as do the expiration dates of the tickets sold.

 

Note: Set Carryover is different from using Date/Time because the sale actually occurs on a different day. Be sure to grant the Sales - Set Carryover security setting with care to avoid fraud.
