If I manually enter a dollar amount at checkout can I assign it a category?

Hi @EmporiumLLC.  You can not do this using the keypad feature on POS.  However, if you do this regularly, you create a variable priced item for each category that you have and have your employees choose the appropriate one when entering variable dollar amounts.  Give them a consistent name, for each access.  Say you have three categories — Appetizers, Entrees and Beverages.  You’d create three items:

 

“Open$ Appetizers”, assigned to that category

“Open$ Entrees”

”Open$ Beverages”

 

Leave the prices blank when you create the items, which will cause the POS to prompt for an amount when that item is selected or its button in pushed.

 

Let me know if you need anything else.  That is just a general overview.
