Generally, zero-priced items are not allowed to be ordered, but many customers wish to treat zero-priced items differently.
Capabilities of the Software
Zero-priced items can be sold under certain circumstances. The following features are available for zero-priced items and zero-totaled orders:
- A system flag to control whether items that are priced as zero can be ordered or not.
- A system flag to control what to replace a zero price with when displaying the price (options are $0 or $POA, noting that the term POA can be customised).
- A system flag to stop an order from being submitted if the total is zero.
- A table of product groups that will override the system flag so that only products from certain groups can be priced as zero - this would allow customer owned stock from certain groups to be sold as zero but stop general catalogue items from being sold as zero.
