Paladin Configuration: Setting up Clearance

Before gathering items for clearance, a Clearance department needs to be created.

1. In Paladin, on the top menu, select File > Setup.
2. Select the Dept tab.
3. In the Departments pane, under the list of departments, click New.
4. In the Name box, enter Clearance.
5. In the Department label number box, assign a number (it must be a new number).
6. Click Save, then click Close.

Figure 1: Creating a Clearance department

To enable the Clearance department and its variables:

1. In Paladin, on the top menu, select File > Setup.
2. Select the PaladiniNsight tab.
3. In the Clearance pane, check Enable Clearance Department (this is optional).
4. Select the Clearance department from the Department list.

5. Uncheck (see note below) Set System Class for Clearance items.

Figure 3: Uncheck Set System Class for Clearance items option

Note: By default, Set System Class for Clearance items is checked, and Class 3 will be assigned. If the client is using Class 3 and does not want it overwritten, uncheck Set System Class for Clearance items. Paladin will then create a new class for clearance.

6. Determine percentages and amount of days before percentage levels (see note below).

Note: By default, Paladin sets the initial clearance percent at fifty (50%) percent, then after the default of 28 days, the clearance percent goes to seventy five (75%) percent. If the item sells out, it is taken off of the clearance list, and clients can either restock the item or not; Paladin does not delete the item, that is up to the client. Clients can change the percentages and amount of days if desired.

7. Click Save, then click Close.

Note: No Sale values 721 or higher will restrict PaladinNsight dials from opening in the Inventory module; therefore, if No Sales For (Days) is set to 721 or higher, the following Input Error message opens:
