When Is It Used? ▲ ▼
Used to clear an item/product in the order/sale and if necessary, enforce the entry of Reason Codes. The value of the cleared items/products will be recorded for Back Office Audit Reporting.
This POS Key appends the text [Clear] to the description of the item/product and sets the selling price to zero. It is primarily used to clear an item/product from an order/sale that has either been incorrectly added or the Customer/Member has changed their mind and does not want to proceed with the purchase of the item/product. In contrast. items/products are credited in order to correct an order/sale. For example, when a Customer/Member has already received an item/product and is not happy, then the item/product can be credited in order to appease the Customer/Member.
