For trunk shows we typically recommend the below:

• If you are receiving a large sum of items for a show, you would either have to enter them in The Edge and sell them at the POS.

OR
You can hand write the tickets, and then enter them at a later date/time in The Edge after you have added the inventory information.

• Lastly, you can enter these items "on the fly" at POS. The associates would need permission to add inventory items, but you would add basic information during the POS transaction, then go back to edit the items afterward.

Below you will find the steps on how to add the items at the POS in the case of a trunk show, as an example:

Preparation for Trunk Show Sales

ADD VENDOR to the vendor database if not already on file.

Decide on a standard INVOICE # - Example "X" or "trunk"
   - This does not need to be accurate, just simple and consistent
Decide on a fake cost for all items keyed in at POS, example "1.00"
   - This will be modified later when the vendor invoices the store for what sold

Prep VENDOR and all SALES PEOPLE that identifying and keying an accurate style number will be beneficial
Be sure ALL ASSOCIATES know the VENDORS ID
Be sure ALL ASSOCIATES have a basic knowledge of what CATEGORIES items will be keyed into

Selling Trunk Show Items

Trunk Sale Management

Upon conclusion of the sale, print a report selecting the VENDOR and INVOICE # used for each item sold.
When the vendor invoices the store someone MUST edit each sold item and change the INVOICE # and COST to be accurate.
