šŸ’² Quick Sale Configuration

4 min read

The Quick Sale setup in Ascora streamlines the process of capturing sales transactions quickly and efficiently. This module is designed to record cash sales or outlet sales under a dedicated job type, which simplifies reporting and management of quick sales. The configuration allows you to set a default customer, choose a receipt template optimized for your printer, and even trigger an immediate stock update when an invoice is generated. Additionally, you can designate a specific register (i.e., a designated PC or store location) for processing sales, ensuring that every transaction is correctly tracked within your system.

Key Configuration Areas:

  • Job Type:

    All Quick Sales will be automatically stored under a designated job type for streamlined reporting.

  • Default Customer:

    Set a default customer record (e.g., "Cash Sale" or "Outlet Sale") that will be pre-assigned to every new Quick Sale. This value can be updated on the Quick Sale Details if needed.

  • Receipt Template:

    Choose the invoice template that will be used when printing receipts. Ensure that the template’s page size is configured appropriately for your receipt printer.

  • Stock Update:

    Optionally, configure the system to ā€œTake Stock Immediately When an Invoice is Generatedā€ to automatically update your inventory levels.

  • Register Setup:

    Create a register to represent the physical location or PC where sales are processed. This helps to track transactions by store location effectively.

1.Ā You can configure Quick Sale by going toĀ Administration → Quick Sale.

2.Ā Complete a few configurations underĀ SettingsĀ area.

Cash Rounding AmountĀ - you can select to have rounding or select no rounding at all.

Quick Sale Job TypeĀ - you can set up job types in Administration → Jobs and then be able to selectĀ  those job types in this area. You might set up a job type called cash sale or quick sale.

Default CustomerĀ - you have the option put your invoices and jobs against a particular customer that you can create in Customers → New. This is not necessary an actual customer but rather, a customer that you create perhaps with your own details so you can track the information. If you want to record your actual purchasing customers, you can certainly add your customer when creating a Quick Sale.

Receipt TemplateĀ - You can set up a particular invoice template for Quick Sale and you can do it in Administration → Document Templates.

Note:Ā You also have the option to enable the setting to take Stock Immediately When an Invoice is Generated by ticking the corresponding box.
