How to Create an Open Priced Item
An open priced item would be an item that can have it's price edited at the basket stage of the transaction on the POS. One scenario where this may be used would be a bakery reduces the prices of certain items later in the day to get the product sold. Making the product 'open priced' would be the most efficient way to do this.
Creating an Open Priced Item

Editing the Price at Transaction Stage
- Select the item that has 'Item Price Editable' enabled. You will know if it has been enabled from the transaction screen as the price will have a box around it that you can click on.
2. Click on the existing price once to bring up the first window and again to actually edit the price
Note: Make sure you hit the 'Done' button and then 'Save' otherwise the price will not change.
3. When you hit save on the first window the new price will now show in the Customer's basket
