Email Address

The email address that the notifications will be sent to if activated

 

POS Port No

The TCP port number that the Web POS Portal service listens on.  Defaults to 8888 but can be changed to avoid port number conflicts

Shipping PLU #

When set to a valid PLU number, freight charges are attributed to this PLU.  This setting can be left blank if freight is to be included as it's own line item in the transaction

 

Use POS descriptions

If this option is selected, short descriptions of items are sent back to the third party on request.  When turned off the long description is used instead

 

Send email if quote not invoiced after 'x' minutes

Use in conjunction with the Order/Invoice Notification via Email and Charges as Quotations options, this setting allows reminder emails to be sent after a set number of minutes if a quotation from a web sale has not been invoiced.  Defaults to 30 minutes.  Set to 0 to turn this feature off if email notifications are active

Use Advanced Cost Lookup

When enabled the Web POS Portal returns cost figures according to an advanced lookup routine which incorporates the master stock keeping location of the product.  This defaults to OFF, indicating that cost figures returned will be the average and last costs for the stock in location regardless of master locations.  WARNING: setting this option ON  will create a significant performance hit especially in large databases
