Trade

Trading "Buy Items" for "Sale items" is an optional process within the Resale Connection program. The option flags to initiate this feature are found on the System Setup window under the Maintenance menu.

When initiated, a Trade activation check box will be visible at the bottom of the "Buy" screen. Check this flag on if the Vendor wishes to apply the proceeds of the "Buy" to an immediate sale. The Trade flag will flash slowly 10 times when the screen opens to remind the operator that a Trade transaction can be initiated. Flag must be checked on before the payment payout type is selected. When the trade feature is initiated, only the Cash/Trade payout will be available.

Continue to process the "Buy" in the usual manner and all buying features are still available (suspends, etc.) When the "Buy" is completed, the "Sale" will automatically open with the current Vendor's information and the total value of the "buy" is transferred to the subtotal of the "Sale" screen.

Continue to process the "Sale" in the normal manner. The sale subtotal is adjusted with the value of each item added. If the Subtotal goes to a positive amount, then apply the preferred Tender type to complete the transaction. If the Subtotal is still a negative amount (balance due to customer) when the sale is complete, the remaining amount can be tendered to the Vendor/Customer as a Cash return, paid with a check, or used to purchase Gift Card.

Layaway processing is NOT allowed during a Trade transaction
