@croxtonfishbar

i need to create some new actions

That was agiven…
Youll need an update order action to change the price and another one to add a free tag to the order.

If you want it to automaatically cancel youll need an execute automation command action another rule and a cancel order action aswell.

First i downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, moved it over to documents/sambapos5/databasetasks

@RickH folder only contains the database task txt file, and that is all.

all i have done is add that txt file to database tasks folder, and also create a misc file.

That is the problem. The TXT file is not a Database TASK. It is a DB Tools IMPORT file…

@RickH

This database tool file will add the setup for a misc/custom item.

Misc Item.zip (960 Bytes)

Install Database Tools File

So download and unzip the file, anywhere really, except the databasetasks folder. In fact, delete the TXT file from the databasetasks folder; it does not belong there.

Then use DB Tools Import function to import the TXT file:

How to use DB Tools (Database Tools Export/Import)

A Database Tools (DB Tools) file is a simple TXT file containing JSON-formatted data which describes different configuration elements in the SambaPOS System. For example, DB Tools files can contain Screens, Tasks, Printer Templates, Automation (Rules/Actions/Automation Commands), Accounts, etc. You can Export configuration elements (create a TXT file), or you can Import configuration elements (by selecting a TXT file) using the functions in: Manage > Settings > Database Tools > Tools DB Too…

I have performed the ditto steps. even i have downloaded the fresh setup and created new default database as well But nothing happens when i click on Misc Item Button.

Please help…!
I have not done any thing apart from written in steps.
Installed fresh SambaPOS and then Step 1 to 5.

Ive just tested this on a clean database and it works fine, follow these 3 steps:

1. Delete any old rules you have previous installed from the database tools file youve used
2. Install this database file
   Misc Item with Description.zip (1.3 KB)

3. Create product exactly as below
   

Database Tools File Updated 23:13 - It will now reset the number pad value, previously whatever priced you typed remained on in the number pad field on screen until you clicked the red cross to remove it

[RickH]

This is the result:

Press the Misc Item Button WITHOUT entering the price first

Enter the Price, then press the MIsc Item Button

it is posible to make a custom report for misc items name tags, that shows
t.value|t.quantity|t.price
so it can be controlled at the end of the work period
