How to Create Departments and Items in Change

How to Create Departments and Items in Change

When setting up your Change point of sale app, one of your first steps will be creating departments and items. A department is a classifier which assigns a tax rate to a group of items. An item is anything that can be added to an order. For example, a department called "Alcohol" (with a 6% sales tax) might host items like "Bud Lite" and "Corona." 

Map Out Your Departments First

The first thing you'll want to do is take a look at your menu or inventory and pinpoint which (if any) tax rates apply to your items. You will want to create different departments for these different tax rates. Also, keep in mind that your end of session reports are broken out by department. So, how do you want your reports divided out?  

Watch The How-to Video

Once you've got that sorted, watch the demonstration video above. You'll walk through all the basics to get up and running.
