This procedure allows you to keep an accurate inventory value for all items, despite selling them in varied quantities and prices. The example listed below addresses how to set up a "2-for" special on beer. Other good uses for "2-for" specials are cigarette and candy sales.

Step 1:Program the individual can (or item) as the Base Item with the inventory value of 1.  
Step 2:Fill in the other fields of the Base Item with the appropriate data as needed.  
Step 3:In the 2nd Item field change the POS Pack Size and the Inventory Value to 2. Enter the price and cost of the "2-for" in the appropriate fields.  
 
Note:If a six pack price field is desired follow the same procedure, except use the 3rd Item fields to enter the six pack values.  
 
IMPORTANT:The POS Pack Size must be altered in order for the POS to tell the difference between a single can and a "2-for."
