The Bulk Sale feature lets you quickly add multiple sale items to a transaction and set a total price, which is then split proportionally amongst the items.

This article outlines the settings needed for employees to process bulk sales and how to execute them.

Instructions

The employee security part that controls this feature is named Bulk Sale. It is located in the Security tab when selecting an employee in System Configuration.

To verify or enable an employee can do Bulk Sales follow these steps.

  • From the Dashboard, select System Configuration form the right side menu.
  • Go to Employees for the store and select an employee.

Allowed - The employee will be able to select the Bulk Sale button on the Transactions screen.

Manager Approval - The employee will need to obtain Manager Approval to select the Bulk Sale button.

There is also a Bulk Sale Calculation configuration under POS CONFIG in the Store's System Configuration. This defines the proportional distribution of the Bulk Sale Grand Total among the transaction items.

Price Basis - Calculate the total Asking Price of all items. To find each item's Selling Price, divide its Asking Price by the total and multiply by the Bulk Sale Grand Total.

Example:

  • (asking price of item #1) / (sum total asking price) = Result
    Result * (Edited Bulk Sale Grand Total) = New Selling Price for item #1

Cost Basis - Sum the costs of all items. To find each item's selling price, divide its cost by the total cost and multiply by the Bulk Sale Grand Total.

Example:
