Item Lookup

Item Lookup searches for an item based on any of several criteria (for example, SKU, style, or department) and retrieves detailed information about the item. For kits, Item Lookup finds the component items that make up the kit.

Item lookups can be performed while Xstore Classic POS is at a Register or Back Office login prompt without the need to login.

If item lookup is initiated from a sale, you can add the item to the sale directly from the lookup screen if all eligibility parameters have been met.

If your system has the Scan Items Prior to Adding to Transaction setting configured, the item is scanned to confirm it is the correct item being added to the transaction.
