Creating & Editing Items

How to create an item in the SoftPoint POS system:

1. External POS Integration: If integrated with an external POS, items are created there and synced to SoftPoint.

2. Creating an Item in SoftPoint:

   • Log into the dashboard and go to Menu > Items.
   • Click Add Item to create a new item:
     • Add an image, name the item, and provide a button name (for the handheld devices).
     • Set an item marketing name for online ordering/kiosk.
     • Set a price, either a fixed or open price.
     • Assign the item to a category (e.g., "Retail").
     • Choose if the item should appear on POS, online ordering, or kiosk.

3. Editing an Item:

   • After creating an item, use the edit option to update its name, price, description, and other details.
   • Add advanced settings like sales category, printer settings, barcode numbers, stock count, and taxes.
   • Items can be added to multiple menus, and modifiers can be applied.

This process helps set up, customize, and manage items within the SoftPoint system.
