Increase Your Bottom Line and Profitably Manage Your Inventory with The Edge
WHAT IT IS
Trade-ins are items that customers bring in to trade for payment, store credit, or partial payment for another item. In The Edge, a trade-in is a type of transaction you can perform at point of sale (POS).
WHAT IT DOES
This feature allows you to process trade-ins directly through the POS, with the ability to have the system automatically add the piece to inventory. You can also apply the value of a trade toward a job, such as a layaway
HOW IT WORKS
To enter a trade-in at point of sale:
-
Select Trade/Buy from the POS window. A line item will appear with Trade In automatically appearing in the Stock # field.
-
Enter a description of the piece in the Description field.
-
Enter the dollar amount of the trade-in in the Price field.
-
If permitted by tax law*, you might want to reduce the sales tax by the taxable amount of the trade-in. To do so, select the Pre-Tax option.
-
Proceed with the payment.
*Please note that the states of Tennessee and Connecticut require special sales tax rules for trade-in and custom jobs. You can read these rules and how to set up The Edge to accommodate them by searching the Knowledgebase.
