# 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**.

The default location for 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](/support/sales-screen/sales-screen-basics/guide-making-a-sale.md).
