What is Quick Add and how does it work?

Quick Add is a feature that lets you create new inventory items on the fly when an item is not found during a sale.

How it works:

1. You scan or search for an item at the POS or in an Invoice
2. The item is not found in inventory
3. Instead of showing "No Items Found", the Quick Add dialog opens
4. You enter the item name and price (minimum required)
5. Click Add Item
6. The item is created in inventory and added to the current sale immediately

Requirements:

• Machine Setting: "Enable Quick Add" must be checked
• User Permission: You need the "Quick Add Items" permission

Quick Add is especially useful when:

• You're first setting up AccuArk and haven't entered all items yet
• A new product arrives that hasn't been cataloged
• You need to keep the checkout line moving

Items created via Quick Add have minimal details. A notification is sent to managers to complete the item setup (add description, supplier, reorder point, etc.).

For full details, see the Quick Add articles in the Point Of Sale and Inventory categories.
