Guide - Non-Stock Item

Introduction

In the Premier EPOS software a Non-Stock Item is a function that can create a variety of items, which would not normally be included in your regular stock. These items could include old stock that was never added to the stock system or one off items that will only be sold once.

The Non-Stock Item button can be found on the Sales Screen. By default, the button is located under the Main Menu in the Quick Access section. Please see below screenshot.

After clicking on Main Menu, you will find the Quick Access options and the Non-Stock Item.

Non-Stock Item Window

After pressing the Non-Stock Item button, the Non-Stock Item window will appear. Please see below screenshot.

Each part of a Non-Stock Item can be fully customized. This includes Name of Item, Selling Price, Supplier Cost, Tax Rate, Type Of Item and Subtype.

Name of Item

This box is where you enter the Name Of Item for your Non-Stock Item. The default name for a Non-Stock Item is *TREAT*. If you enter the Name Of Item first, after entering the name, the Selling Price box will automatically appear and ask you to enter the Selling Price.

Selling Price

The next box is for the Non-Stock Item's Selling Price. The price you enter should be inclusive of VAT. After entering a price in the Selling Price, the system will automatically fill in the Supplier Cost box at a 50% value. For example, entering £10.00 in the Selling Price would set the Supplier Cost to £5.00. This is only for convenience and the Supplier Cost can still be set to an amount of your choosing.

Supplier cost

This box is where you enter the Supplier Cost of the Non-Stock Item. If you have already entered the Selling Price, the Supplier Cost will be set at 50% the value of the Selling Price.

Tax Rate

The default Tax Rate of a Non-Stock Item will always match to your system's current default Tax Rate.

Type Of Item / Subtype

Non-Stock Items can also have a Type and Sub-Type applied during the sale. The Type and Sub-Type options available will be the same as you have on your regular stock. The primary reason for adding a Type and Sub-Type to a Non-Stock Item is for Statistics and reporting.

Item in the Cart

Once you have completed the filling in the Non-Stock Item window, you can press Accept and the item will be added to the Cart. Please see below screenshot.

At this point you can complete the sale. For an in-depth guide on Making A Sale, please click here.
