Assign GL Codes to POS Items

Prev Next

This article will show you how to assign GL Codes to POS Items. Assigning a GL code will help avoid unitemized entries later. If your Organization settings are set to require a GL code for POS Items, staff will have to add a GL code before saving the item.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to POS Items:User interface showing account options with the POS Items section highlighted.

  2. Expand a category:The Point-of-Sale Management screen with a POS Items category highlighted for selection.

  3. Click the Edit POS Item (pencil) icon related to the POS Item you want to edit:The POS Items screen with a category expanded and the Edit POS (Pencil) icon highlighted for an individual item.

  4. Navigate to the GL Codes tab:The Create POS Item screen with the GL Codes tab highlighted.

  5. Select Assign GL Code:The GL Codes tab with the Assign GL Code button highlighted.

  6. Fill in fields:The GL Codes tab with a not-yet-filled GL Code field highlighted.

    • GL Code: Select a GL Code from the drop-down menu

    • $ / %: Input either a fixed dollar amount or a fixed percentage rate

      Note:

      It is most common to select one code and assign it a percentage of 100. This is what we highly recommend. However, we do support the ability to assign more than one code, and we also support the ability to assign codes by an exact dollar amount. We do not recommend this. Using percentages makes it easier for the system to properly account for money even if your staff has to alter fees at checkout for some reason.

  7. Select Save POS Item:The Edit POS Item screen with the Save POS Item button highlighted.
