Hi everyone,
I’m trying to implement an “Item 86” (Sold Out) feature in SambaPOS.
prior to post this, i did check on the forum, most of the settings involved inventory to be set.
My goal is to allow staff or managers to temporarily mark a menu item as unavailable, so it cannot be ordered on the POS. Once the item is back in stock, they should be able to enable it again with a single action.
The important requirement is that this not to involve any inventory. I don’t want the stock quantity to be changed or inventory transactions to be created. It should simply prevent the item from being sold until it’s available again.
Has anyone configured something like this in SambaPOS?
Specifically, I’m looking for:
-
A way to toggle an item between Available and 86 (Sold Out).
-
Prevent the item from being added to new orders.
-
Keep all inventory counts unchanged.
-
Preferably a solution that managers can control from the POS without editing the menu manually.
Any guidance, rule examples, or automation ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
