For stores that have been configured with a NO Buy Ticket Hold period, zero days for hold, the Estimator can be used to price items directly into inventory, skipping the UNPRICED Status entirely. The employee must have the proper permissions to do this. To enable this functionality, the following security bit must be enabled at the employee level:
Main Menu > Transactions > Point of Pawn > Price incoming Buy transactions
When this feature is enabled, additional pricing fields will appear in the Estimator during the Buy transaction, such as MSRP, Price, Max Discount Percentage, Tag Description, and metadata questions that typically only appear when pricing items through the Inventory screen. Similar to inventory pricing from the Inventory screen, these fields and the Location of the item will be required before the transaction can be completed.
