Some items may be non-tracked inventory with no retail price on file.

• For more information on how to tag a product as non-tracked inventory, you can read about the Accounting Category parameter in the Code-Driven Fields document. 

If this is the case, once scanned in, the Price will be blank, and you will need to hand-key in a retail price.

There may be times when an item is on sale via a Sales Promotion as well as discounted further via a Customer Discount.

If this occurs, the system will automatically calculate the final selling price.
