Adding products to inventory
« on: May 20, 2013, 07:04:32 AM »
Hello, we are relatively new users running EZpower Ver 13(retail) on a server with 2 networked tills. Can you provide the proper method for adding products on the live system? The specific questions we have are as follows:   
1) Should we only add new products to the server or can they be added at any till?
2) Should we avoid adding products when the system is in use?
3) Should we be using the product control function to add products or 'quick add' from the sales screen?
4) Should we restart the till after adding products to the database?
Any info you can provide on this topic is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

They can be added at any till.  Some functions will force the new products to show up on a registers.  But if you restart ezPower on a register that will also load all the new products.

2) Should we avoid adding products when the system is in use?
Not really.  But heavy use on the server can slow the registers down.  Running reports can slow down the registers.

3) Should we be using the product control function to add products or 'quick add' from the sales screen?
Either way should work the same.
