The NA localization extends the LS Central Option Configuration feature to display pre-tax (VAT-exclusive) pricing for item options. Because North America uses a sales-tax model where tax is added on top of the listed price, option prices are configured and displayed without tax included.
Key Concepts
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unit Price | The price of an item option, excluding sales tax |
| Options Amount Excl. VAT | The sum of all selected option prices, excluding tax |
| Item Unit Price Excl. VAT | The base item price from the Vendor Item Library, excluding tax |
| Tax Group Code | The tax classification that determines the applicable tax rate at the POS |
Set Up Vendor Item Library Records
The Vendor Item Library is the starting point for option pricing. Each item in the library carries its pre-tax price and tax group code.
- Search for Vendor Item Library and open or create a record.
- In the Item No. field, select the item. The system automatically populates the Tax Group Code field from the item's Invoicing FastTab.
- Enter the Unit Price (pre-tax price) for the item.
- Save the record.
When you change the Item No. on an existing Vendor Item Library record, the Tax Group Code is updated automatically to match the new item.
Configure Option Types
- Search for LSC Pst. Option Config. Header (POS Option Configuration Header).
- Create a new header record and select an Item No. from the Vendor Item Library. The system fills in the Item Unit Price Excl. VAT field automatically.
- Add lines on the LSC Pst. Option Config. Lines page, one line per option variant (for example, Small, Medium, Large).
- For each line, enter the Unit Price Excl. VAT for that option.
- The Options Amount Excl. VAT on the header shows the running total of all option line prices.
How Pricing Is Displayed at the POS
When a cashier selects a configured item at the POS:
- The displayed price is the Item Unit Price Excl. VAT plus the Options Amount Excl. VAT.
- Sales tax is calculated on top of this total using the item's Tax Group Code and the store's Tax Area Code.
- The tax amount is shown separately in the POS transaction totals.
This matches the North American retail convention of displaying shelf prices before tax.
