Setting Up Item Types

This topic explains how to set up item types. You can edit the item types in AcuityLogic, but you cannot create or delete them.

You should edit an item type only if instructed to do so by an Eyefinity representative.
For multitenant environments, the following setup must be completed for each company. The parent company setup is not automatically applied to individual companies.

To set up item types

  1. Open the Types/References window. See Opening the Types/Reference Window.
  2. Click the Item Type link for your company.

    The Item Type window opens.

  3. Click Edit in the row of the item type you want to edit.

    The fields in the row become editable.

  4. To include the item type in the calculation of global discounts on orders, select the Allow Global Discount check box.
    • If you have four item types on an order and allow global discounts on all four item types, all four are discounted.
    • If you allow global discounts on only three of the item types on the order, one is excluded from the discount.
  5. To allow the item type to be discounted on line items on orders, select the Allow Line Discount check box.
  6. Select Category 1 or Category 2 from the Sales Category drop-down list.
    • You can assign item types to one of two sales categories (Category 1 or Category 2) for reporting purposes. The sales totals of the items assigned to these categories are combined, subtotaled, and displayed together on the Office Flash Sales report in the AcuityLogic POS and AcuityLogic BackOffice applications.
    • All item types are assigned to Category 1 by default, even if Category 1 is not displayed in the item type's row.
  7. Select any extra features from the Extra Feature field.
    Press and hold the Ctrl or Shift key to select multiple features.
  8. Click Update to update the item type.
