If you're using a Point-of-Sales (POS) system, you need to match up your stock items in NightsBridge with what you've got in the external system.
The purpose of mapping your stock items would be to tell NightsBridge what the external reference IDs are for these items, preventing duplications or errors.
Supplying a Stock Code would establish a link between the NightsBridge and your POS.
Please contact NightsBridge if you are interested in linking your POS program.

Open the NightsBridge Setup program.
Click on Step 6: Setup Stock
Search for or Add the stock item you want to map.
The search stock screen is displayed. Here you have the option to choose an exciting or add a new stock item. In this example we are going to choose an existing stock item so we can add the stock code.
If you're not sure how to add a new stock item, please click here.
Mapping Stock Code.
Stock codes are used if you have a POS integrated with NightsBridge. The NightsBridge will then know to match the stock code that is passed down from the POS.
This will only needs to be done if you've previously added a stock item in NightsBridge that didn't exist in your POS.
Your POS will automatically add Stock items for you.
If you've previously added the stock item to NightsBridge, that doesn't exist on your POS, you can map the item.
Click on the text block next to Stock code to add the alphanumerical item/stock/menu number that used in your POS. If you're not sure what the code is, please generate a stock/list from your POS system or contact their support.
Entering a Stock Code is not mandatory. Therefore, if you do not map the Stock code beforehand, you will have duplicate items.
If you have duplicated stock items you will need to go into that stock item and change active to "NO". This will then remove it from your stock list on your NightsBridge calendar.
Publish your Setup for changes to come into effect.
Remember to click on Publish once you have finished entering your stock. To insure all your changes have been updated.
