Shopfront offers the ability to park or hold an unlimited amount of sales and retrieve them at any point in time from any register.

Parked sales will retain all details about the sale when they were parked, this includes locking the prices for products which may result in prices being cheaper or more expensive than the current shelf price.

Note; Sales can be parked in Offline Mode. However they will only be available on the register they were parked on until they have been uploaded in Online Mode. 

Configuring Parked Sales

Shopfront provides several options for how to deal with parked sales.

Requiring a Note When a Sale is Parked

Parking Sales

Much like finalising a sale for an account customer or with a payment, once items have been added to the sales screen a sale can be parked. 

1. Click the Parked Sales button below the sales keys
2. Select Park Sale at the top of the screen
3. Specify a note if required

A receipt of the held sale can be printed or emailed to customers as for finalised sales.

Retrieving Parked Sales

To retrieve a parked sale to finish processing or to make major updates to, follow these instructions:

1. Click Parked Sales at the bottom of the sell screen
2. Select the sale you wish to retrieve
3. Click the Load Sale button

The sale will now be loaded as the current sale. The sale can now be modified or finalised. Putting this sale back on hold works exactly like putting a new sale on hold:

1. Click Parked Sales at the bottom of the sell screen
2. Click Park Sale 

This will provide a receipt will all items in the parked sale on it.

Adding Products to a Parked Sale

Items can be added to a parked sale in two ways. Either by adding products to the sell screen and then retrieving the parked sale or (as above) by retrieving a parked sale to modify it.

1. Add the Products to the Sell Screen
2. Click Parked Sales at the bottom of the sell screen
3. Select the parked sale you wish to add the products to
4. Click the Merge Sale button

OR

1. Click Parked Sales at the bottom of the sell screen
2. Select the parked sale you wish to add the products to
3. Click Load Sale
4. Add the Products to the Sell Screen
5. Park the sale as detailed in the Parking Sale section above

This will provide a receipt will all items in the parked sale on it.

Cancelling Parked Sales

If a parked sale is outdated or no longer required for any other reason, it can be cancelled. 

1. Click Parked Sales at the bottom of the sell screen
2. Select the sale you wish to remove
3. Click the Remove Parked Sale button
4. Confirm the deletion of the sale

Note; Cancelling a parked sale removes it from the Sales History as well. It can no longer be searched for.
