Overview

At checkout, you can require customer information for any item that you have classified as a restricted item, such as spray paint, fire arms, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceutical purchases.

During the checkout process, when you add a restricted item to the invoice, an Additional Customer Info Required window opens. Before the sale can continue, you must scan the customer’s driver’s license or manually enter customer information.

How to classify an inventory item as a restricted item

1. In Paladin, on the top ribbon, select the Inventory module.
2. Enter a part number in the Part # box.
3. Press Enter.
4. Open the General tab.
5. In the Classes pane, set one of the three class selections to the restricted class.
