In today’s Q&A with Will English, he answers a few key questions from one of our clients using the QuickBooks Point of Sale (POS) V2013. They manage a national park with a visitor center retail shop.
Q: We are thinking of doing some sort of "Donate your change" or “Donate $1 to the Association.” Could I easily do this by creating an Item # in POS and tell it to be non-inventory and non-taxable? Then, let the associate key in the donation amount when they have someone who would like to donate?
A: Yes, agreed.
Q: Why is it that when I create store coupons that they still are not actually occurring at the stores? I am going to Price Manager, creating the Coupon, I tell it how much and to whom and give it a date and save. It shows that it is "Active" but yet they tell me at the stores it's not happening. I'm baffled by this.
A: You need to go into your Preference under Discounts and select it. Or are you saying that it is not there? If it is not there, you can create your own coupon. We can discuss further if you need my help in doing this.
Q: The laptop I use for store exchanges at our remote store is toast. We are discussing replacing it next fiscal year. I would like to know is QBPOS compatible yet with I-Pads or tablets or are they too new for this yet? Otherwise I will stick with a new laptop.
A: QBPOS is not yet compatible with the I-Pads or tablets.
