Adding Items with the Bar Code Scanner Using Item Lookup in the POS App

A POS user must be assigned to a user role that has been granted access to the Category/Item Management feature to add a new category in the POS app.

When you scan an item and the bar code isn't found, the POS system will alert you via a "negative" sound and display a popup screen to alert you that the system did not find the bar code.

You have the option of linking the barcode to an existing item or creating a new item. Tap Create new item on the Barcode not found window. The system will display the Add Item screen.  Continue the add item process below.

NOTE:
Multi-store Customers:  If you complete this process, the item will be created as a store-specific item for the store you are currently logged into on the POS app.  If this item needs to be available for all of your stores, please update this in the Back Office by assigning the item to all of your stores.
