Note: This Quick Tip applies to ProfiitPlus versions 4.91 and newer.
Using Quick Items
Quick Items are available in the Sales Orders & Invoicing module, providing an easy way to select a product to sell with just a couple of button clicks. Each Quick Item is presented visually as a large button within a structured menu system, similar to the Touch Buttons found in the Cash Register module.
Typically this would be used for products that are not barcoded due to their small size or value (e.g. individual nuts, bolts, irrigation fittings), or that cannot be barcoded due to the nature of the product (e.g. soil, gravel, pavers).
