One limitation of point of sale
software it the main item description. The reason for only allowing
so many characters for an item description is that the item
description must be able to fit on both the receipt and the price
tag/barcode label. Any longer of an item description and the text
would be too small to read.
Thankfully, both Microsoft and NCR
thought of this and included places within the software to include
more details about each item.
If you are a Microsoft RMS Store
Operations User, you will see fields for an extended description as
well as 3 sub descriptions:
Note that you don't have to use all the
field but I do recommend that you are consistent when it comes to how
you use the 3 sub description fields. We'll talk more over the
coming weeks on how to label fields with a field description that
makes more sense to you and matches the types of products and
services that you offer.
NCR CounterPoint is very similar with
fields for a long description and 3 additional descriptions. These
are found under the “Description” tab for each item:
Again, be consistent when using the 3
additional description fields.
