Split Saved Sales
Splitting a saved sale allows the cashier to separate its items into multiple new saved sales that can be independently modified or closed.
To learn how to split payment for a single sale between multiple tenders, such as cash and credit, visit our Split Tender Transactions article.
On the Saved Sales screen, tap 'Select' (iOS) or 'Manage Sales' (Android).
Managers can split saved sales owned by any employee, but cashiers can only split their own sales.
In the Retail POS (S-Series) app for iOS, the new split saved sale(s) created will be assigned to the employee who performed the split. In the Retail POS (S-Series) app for Android, the new saved sale(s) will be assigned to the employee who owned the original sale.
Online orderscannot be split at the register and must be processed as placed.
Select 'Done' (iOS) or the disk icon (Android) to complete the split.
Tagged customers, transaction-level discounts, and tax removal will persist on the original saved sale but must be reapplied to split saved sales after splitting.
Split saved sales have the same name as the original sale but with a number added to the end. Need to rename the split saved sale? Visit our Saved Sales article for help.
If using the Retail POS (S-Series) app for Android, follow the steps here to transfer all saved sales being merged to the same employee.
Select two or more saved sales to merge.
Managers can merge saved sales owned by any employee, but cashiers can only merge their own.
In the Retail POS (S-Series) app for iOS, the new merged saved sale will be assigned to the employee who performed the merge. In the Retail POS (S-Series) app for Android, the merged saved sale will be assigned to the employee who owned the original sales.
Online orderscannot be merged at the register and must be processed as placed.
(Optional) Enter a new name for the merged saved sale.
The sale name will default to ‘Merged’ and will include the current time.
Tap 'Save' (iOS) or the disk icon (Android) to complete the merge.
Tagged customers, transaction-level discounts, and tax removal do not transfer from individual saved sales to the new merged sale and must be reapplied after merging.
