coreSTORE - Getting Started: How to add items to the Button Grid

The Button Grid is something on the Sales and PO & Receiving screen that works as quick-buttons to add inventory items to the sale. You can add items to the grid two ways: by assigning the category to the grid, and by tagging individual items.


  1. Grid Example


Here is an example of what the grid looks like. This example is demonstrating the grid by Category. Each button you see here is a separate category. You can click on each category to see each item inside that category to quickly add it to the sale.
