The POS Line Buster application will allow you to scan items of the students in line, print a receipt and recall the transaction in PrismCore POS.

 POS Line Buster is part of Suite II of Nebraska Book Company’s applications.

How to use POS Line Buster

 Touch the Application icon if you are in another application, Touch the POS icon.

Touch Configure to configure your login. For detailed information on how to configure your login, refer to the “Logging into an Application” section of this document.  Note that there are additional fields that are unique to logging into the POS application.

At the bottom of the Login Configuration screen is the version number of the POS application and three buttons:  Set All, Configure, and Cancel. The Set All button will save all configuration data entered and keep the EDA on the Login Configuration screen.

The Cancel button will move the user back to the main POS select screen. If the Set All button is not used prior to using the Cancel button all newly entered configuration data will be lost.

 After touching the Configure button: Select the location for which the transactions are being done.

Select the POS.

Select the correct Register.

Once you have configured your login, touch OK. This will save all entered information and display the POS screen.

The main POS screen will display with the option to  Configure or POS Line Buster. Touch POS Line Buster if you are ready to begin using the EDA.

When POS is selected, the main POS receipt screen will display. In the upper left corner, POS will be highlighted. The receipt number will display in the upper left hand corner. 

Enter the item ID in the XRef field.  The item ID can be the XREF, or SKU. The XREF/SKU can be scanned or you can enter the item ID using the keyboard. If you manually enter the ID, touch Enter. 

Accepting an Item for the Buyback Transaction

Once an item has been accepted and added to the transaction, it will display in the middle of the main receipt screen.

The middle section displays the items that are included on the transaction.  The quantity, price and SKU will show. You can highlight items in this section using the stylus. If more items are on the transaction than can be displayed in this section, use the scroll bar on the right to view additional titles.

 The top section of the screen contains Lookup, Delete, and Edit.  Use these buttons in relation to highlighted items on the transaction. Note that the buttons in the top portion of the screen apply only to a highlighted item on the transaction while the buttons at the bottom of the screen apply to the entire transaction.

Lookup will display specific item information for the highlighted text. In the upper right hand corner of this item detail screen will be a “P” and an “I” display selection.   The “P” is for Product and displays the item’s product information.  The “I” is for Inventory and displays the item’s inventory information.  Touch OK at the Lookup screen to return to the main receipt screen.

Delete will prompt you Delete current data? (This refreshes ticket). If you touch NO, nothing is deleted and you are returned to the main receipt screen. If you touch YES, the current item is deleted.

 

Touch Delete if you wish to remove the highlighted item from the transaction.

Edit will take you to the Edit Item screen where you can edit the quantity or price.

The dollar total of the current transaction displays at the bottom of the screen. Directly to the right of the dollar total are the buttons Print, Clear, and Close. Note that these three buttons in the bottom portion of the screen apply to the entire transaction while the buttons near the top portion of the screen will apply to a highlighted item only.

Print allows a receipt to be printed for the transaction, if an EDA printer is attached.  You can print a receipt at any time during the transaction before it is ended.  If a receipt is required, it must be printed on the EDA before the transaction is ended.

Close will transmit the transaction to PrismCore POS and clear the transaction on the EDA so that a new one can be started. Once an EDA transaction is ended, you cannot print the receipt nor access the transaction on the EDA. The transaction can only be accessed in PrismCore POS.

The EDA Transactions in PrismCore POS

 Once a transaction has been transmitted from the EDA to PrismCore POS using Close, the transaction is no longer accessible on the EDA. It is only accessible in PrismCore POS.

 A transaction that is transmitted to PrismCore POS from the EDA is considered to be a “suspended” transaction in PrismCore POS.  The transaction will remain suspended until it is completed in PrismCore POS.

 Suspended transactions received from the EDA will not have a date. The date will remain blank until the transaction is completed.

Completing Suspended Transactions in PrismCore POS

Suspended transactions must be completed at the register in PrismCore POS. Access the cash register using your cashier login and password.

Enter SR in the Enter Transaction field and then press Enter. The barcode on the printed EDA transaction receipt can be scanned or the transaction receipt number can be manually entered. To search for a receipt number, press Enter at the Receipt Number and then press Enter again to display a list of suspended transactions.

If you enter a non-suspended transaction the message Receipt is not suspended. Cannot retrieve will display.

When the number of a suspended transaction is entered in the Receipt field, the transaction will be displayed.

  • If no changes are needed, end the transaction by selecting Total.

  • If necessary, the transaction can be edited using Edit Item button.

  • To delete the transaction select the Abort button.

  • To return the receipt to a suspended state, select the Suspend button.
