POS Discounts, Price Override, and Item Edit Guide

A practical guide for handling item-level changes at the counter without losing control of pricing, discounting, and receipt accuracy.

Inventory & POS Cashier Controls End-User Guide

Overview

POS item-edit tools allow the cashier or authorized user to adjust prices, discounts, quantities, and line details when the standard item entry is not enough.

Where To Find It

Path: POS > Cash Sale > Item actions

Use these item actions while a sale is still being built and before payment is completed.

How It Works

QBM lets users open item-level edit tools during the sale. Depending on permissions and setup, users can distribute discount across the receipt, edit the selected item, or override a unit price when the sale requires it.

Main Areas

Area What It Means When To Use It
Edit item Opens the selected line for review and correction. Use it when quantity, description, or line-level details need to be corrected before payment.
Discount distribution Spreads a discount across the sale or selected lines based on the chosen POS method. Use it when the discount must be applied fairly and reflected properly across the receipt.
Unit price change Allows an authorized selling price change for the selected item. Use it only when your policy allows a manual price override.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Add the items to the sale as normal.
  2. Select the line that needs review or adjustment.
  3. Open the relevant action such as Edit Item, Discount, or Unit Price Change.
  4. Apply the change and review the new totals immediately.
  5. Continue to payment only after the receipt total is confirmed.

Best Practice

  • Limit manual price changes to authorized users where possible.
  • Review the receipt total after any discount or override is applied.
  • Use clear reasons and internal approval where the business expects price exceptions to be tracked.
