Link Mailing List with Point of Sale
- You may select whether to ask for the telephone number before or after the sale by going to SYS Config File #5 = Change Misc. Configurations and go to line 200. Enter a B to ask for telephone number before the sale; enter an A to ask for telephone number after the sale. If this line is left blank, the mail list will not be connected to the Point of Sale.
- You may default the area code by entering the code for your area on SYS Config File #5 = Change Misc. Configurations line 209. This may be overwritten by pressing the arrow to the left key and entering the correct area code.
- You may keep a record of the type of purchases made by the customers on your mailing list by going into SYS Config File #3 = Change 24 Cash Register Depts. Condense your twenty-four cash register departments into eight groups. On the first column after the department description, enter the number of the group that department is in. Whenever a customer buys an item, the corresponding number (1-8) is noted on the customer’s history as department purchases. These numbers are used to print labels for customers who bought certain products.
- Before or after a sale, you will be asked for the customer’s telephone number. After entering in the telephone number, the mailing list will be checked for that telephone number. If the number is found, the person’s name and address will be displayed. You may <Enter> to confirm the name or press <F1> to modify. If the telephone number is not found, a mailing list add screen comes up and you may enter the customer’s information. Or enter a few letters of the last name followed by an asterisk and you will go into the change mode and can search the mailing list to see if the name is already on the list. This will tie to your mailing list the type of items the customer purchased. Please enter the information the same as in MLM. If the screen is not completely filled out, cancel by pressing <Esc>. Do not (S)ave an incomplete name. The labels printed for such an entry are useless.
- When making a special order at the point of sale, put in the telephone number of the customer and the mailing list will be checked for the number then will bring up the name with that number if it is on your mailing list. (If not, you will be given the opportunity to add the customer to the mailing list.) You may <Enter> to confirm that it is the correct customer and the name and address will be transferred to the special order. When adding a new name to the mailing list from the special order, you may (S)ave/transfer the name to the special order.
