Cut a length from a roll

What does this do?

A cut is made from the till, so the customer's receipt, the roll's remaining length and the offcut are all recorded in one go. Stock Management then shows the shorter roll and lists the offcut as a remnant.

How to use it

  1. On the till, press ✂ Cut from Roll and pick the product.
  2. Tick the roll you are cutting. Each roll shows its width, the metres left and its location.
  3. Under Cuts (linear m) type each cut in its own box. Use + another cut so the fitter's sizes all appear on the receipt.
  4. If a usable piece will be left, enter it in Usable remnant offcut (m) so it is kept as a remnant.
  5. Press Add cut to basket and finish the sale as normal.
  6. If more than one roll could cover the cut, the till asks Which roll was this cut from? Tick the one you actually cut and press Cut this roll.

Sell a length off a tracked roll and the till takes it off that roll, keeps the remnant and puts the fitter's sizes on the receipt.

Making a Sale

See your remnants and roll ends

Every usable offcut left after a cut is kept as a remnant with its own width, length and area, so you can see what odd pieces you have to sell without walking the racks.

Add a carpet or vinyl roll to stock

Every roll you hold is recorded against the product it belongs to, with its width, length, cost and where it sits. Once it is in, the till can cut from it and Stock Management shows what is left.

Book a delivery in (Goods in)

Goods in books stock in by hand when you have no paperwork to scan, or the delivery is simple. Pick the product, say how much arrived and in what, and the till tells you exactly what it will add before you confirm.
