Regarding the item configuration, it is possible to **specify the quantities before inserting the item** in order to consider it immediately, as well as **define the item printing templates**, by determining the desired specificities. You can view the **item stock** at any time.

## Insert quantities

In the POS, it is possible to **insert the desired quantity before inserting the item** (manually or by reading the barcode), in order to consider it immediately when filling in the row.

For that, a context option was created on the lower menu of the POS, as well as a short key to make it easier to access the quantity screen (**Ctrl + Q**). This feature can only be accessed **in rows with no item defined**, that is, if it has been positioned in a row already filled in, it is not possible to access the quantity screen.

The value can be assigned to any empty editor row, and it is not mandatorily associated to the row where the cursor is positioned when the quantity screen has been accessed.

## Set up print

There is an option on the app that allows to **define the receipt templates to print documents** from the POS, and a set of fields that can be included on the header, detail and footer is available. In the case of items with dimension, the base template prints the Parent item, presenting on the following row the information regarding the Child item.

However, it is possible to **set up the receipt to print only the Child item** without it being preceded by the Parent item, optimizing the size of the printed receipt.

To obtain this behavior, follow these steps:

1. Access **Marketing & Sales | Sales | Resources | Tool | POS Documents Config.**;
2. Select the template to create/edit;
3. On the left, on the field window, open the option **Document Rows**;
4. Drag the field **Item with Dimensions** and **Description Items with Dimensions**;
5. Click **Save**.

With this type of configuration, when there is an item with dimensions on the sales document, the app only prints the Code and Description for the Child item.
