register specific features for items  #

These fields are register specific and are not available in QuickBooks Online. They do not sync to or from QuickBooks Online. These additional item fields are designed to enhance the checkout experience in the register and allow for more flexible item identification and lookup.

Purpose #

• enable Quick Pick functionality for frequently sold items.
  
• add custom searchable fields (e.g., barcodes, numbers, text) to improve item lookup efficiency during checkout.
  

Searchable Fields #

Searchable fields let you quickly locate items during checkout or when browsing item lists. You can create multiple custom fields relevant to your item, such as:

• Barcode (EAN/UPC) – Ideal for scanned items.
  
• Number – For SKU, internal codes, or other numeric identifiers.
  
• Text – alternate codes, alpha-numeric, or other text-based attributes.
  

Each of these fields is fully searchable within the register.
