# Ring up a cash sale

Chapter: People and machines
Who this is for: Counter, shop owner.
Trigger: A walk-in buys parts with no account and no machine.

## What the clip says

Cash sale is one click, straight to a parts-only ticket. It lands on Counter Sale. No customer to pick, no machine needed. Punch a part the same way any ticket does.

Cash sale is the one-click shortcut for a walk-in who needs parts and nothing else. It always lands on the shop's
own Counter Sale customer.

## Steps

- Click **Cash sale** on Customers or Tickets.

- Land directly on a new parts-only ticket on Counter Sale, ready to punch parts.

Sample shop. Made-up names and tickets.

## What happens to money and stock

Creates a parts-only ticket on the shop's Counter Sale customer; standard parts-line and Finish rules apply once parts are punched.

## Watch out for

- Counter Sale can never be Charge or tax exempt.
- A double-click reuses the same ticket instead of creating two.

## Not yet

There is no deposit or partial-hold option on a cash sale. Parts are punched and paid, or parked, the same way any ticket is at Finish.
