Applying percent off markdown

Marking down an item’s price by applying a percent off value indicates that the amount to be deducted will be taken off the price in percentage form. For example, when an item with an amount of $59.99 is applied with a 10% price change percent off, its changed price equates to $53.991.

Configurable features

The POS application can be configured with the following features.

• Apply markdowns to the total quantity of a selected item. For more information, refer to Menu Buttons.
• Specify the reason for the percent off. Refer to the following options:
  • Sale Markdown Reason Codes > Markdown Reason Code
  • Sale Markdown Reason Codes > Markdown Reason Description
• Restrict entering a percent off markdown for an item after a transaction discount has been applied. For more information, refer to Markdown Properties.

To enter a percent off markdown for an item, follow these steps:

1. From the Sale Main Menu screen, select the item to be applied with a percent off. The application displays the item-related options.
2. Select Percent Off. The application displays the Markdown Percent Reason screen. If the item is not discountable, the Percent Off button is disabled.

   

3. Enter a percentage amount to be taken off the item. The POS enables the price change reason codes.
4. Select one of the following reasons for the price change:
   • Competition
   • Damaged
   • POS Event

   The application displays the Sale Main Menu screen with the new price and the price change reason.

   

5. Complete the transaction.
