Quick Launch Button Options
You can create quick launch buttons to automate many different functions in AmberPOS (see: Creating Quick Launch Buttons). The following options are some commonly used functions. Note that all commands are entered into the "Action" field during quick launch button setup.
All Numbers(0-9) and capital letters (A-Z) are accepted, rest codes can be found here:

eg:
{OemOpenBrackets}{Divide}{C, Shift}ASE{OemCloseBrackets} will return: [/Case]
{Oemcomma, Shift}{OemPeriod, Shift} will return: <>
Insert SKU / Code into Sale
Type in a SKU or code, and the button will enter that information into the "Enter SKU/CODE" field of the sale window. Put "{Enter}" (without quotation marks) after your SKU and the button will automatically add the item to the sale. For example 1024{Enter} will add SKU 1024 into the transaction. If there are letters in sku codes they should be capitalized in the action field.
Add Item with Negative Quantity into the Point of Sale screen.
1000{Enter}{F9}{OemMinus}1{Enter}
Replace 1000 with your desired SKU.
For any text based SKU's always use Uppercase letters like below:
SPECIALSKU{Enter}
NOTES{Enter}
Tare Weight
{Tare}
This will ask you to put an item on the scale to set the current tare weight
{Tare}.5
This will use .5 lbs or .5kg as a preset tare weight
{Tare}.100{Delay}1640{Enter}
This will remove a tare weight of .100 from total weight and add the item 1640 into the POS.
Change Customer
To change the currently active customer during a sale, use the action: <member ID>{Enter} and the current customer will be changed to the one corresponding to the member ID you entered. Example:
C1465{Enter} will change the current customer to the customer with member ID "C1465".
Shortcut to the Customer Label Module
{MailingLabel}
Auto Discount Buttons
To automatically discount the current transaction by a set percentage, you would use the following syntax: {F2}<discount amount>{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter}, with the discount amount being the percentage discount. For example:
{F2}5{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter} = 5% Discount
{F2}10{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter} = 10% Discount
{F2}20{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter} = 20% Discount
/Discount All Items/
{Discount}All10%{Enter}
Auto Select Payment / Transaction Type
You can automatically select a specific type of payment, or a special transaction type by using: {Payment}PaymentTypeOrTransactionType. For example:
{Payment}Visa = Visa Payment
{Payment}Cash = Cash Payment
{Payment}Park = Park Transaction
{Payment}Quotation = Quotation Transaction Type
Change to Different Tab
If you have multiple tabs set up for quick launch buttons, you can create a button to automatically select a specific tab by using the option: {TabPage}TabPageName where "TabPageName" is the name of the tab you want to access. For example: {TabPage}Propane will switch to the "Propane" tab.
If you name a tab "MAIN" then it will appear to be selected always by default when you open the AmberPOS software.
Recall transaction
{Recall}TransactionType
Eg:
{Recall}Quotation
{ExitReports} Closes the report module after it brings up the quicklaunch report in the Point of Sale screen so it cannot be adjusted in the background.
Change clerk
{Clerk}ClerkUserName
Eg:
{Clerk}Adrian
Local pick-up button
{ShipToCustomerID}1-1
This will change the shipping address to the customer ID 1-1 shipping address. This is usually the thank you customer.
Reports
Create a shortcut for a report.
{Report}ReportName{Query}PreSavedQueryName
Eg:
{Report}Sales By Clerk{Query}Till Name = [TillName]{BackDays}30
{Report}Inventory By Department
