Hiding Items from the POS Front End

For this point of sale, the "Front End" is the point of sale that your cashiers use whereas the "Back Office" is the web-based portal where you can add items, run reports, and do other management functions.

To Hide an Item from the POS:

1. From the back office, click Items then Custom Attributes
   
   
2. Click New Product Attribute
   
3. In the pop up window, you'll enter the following information. It is important to enter this information precisely as it appears:
   • Attribute Code = pos_status
   • Attribute Name = POS Status
   • Custom Attribute Type = String
   • Front End Input Type = Select
   • Select Values --> Click Add New
     1. Value = active
     2. Label = Show
     3. Click OK
     4. Click Add New
     5. Value = hidden
     6. Label = Hide
   • Show on Quick Update Form = Enabled
     This part is optional. This option simply allows you to quickly access the Show/Hide from the item table rather than having to click into editing the item and choosing the Show/Hide attribute from there
4. Click Save Changes
