Donation Item Functionality

SkyTab POS software does not have a direct donation feature. However, it is capable of configuring it as a “Donation” item in the POS Terminal, assigned to “Donation” non-sales revenue class, and the ticket can be closed with a custom “Donation” tender type. The sale will be recorded in the reports, as the SkyTab POS software has a donation feature limitation.

Donation Revenue Class Configuration

1. Navigate to the Manager > Settings > Accounting > Revenue Class and select the blue Add New Revenue Class button at the bottom left corner of the POS Terminal screen.
   
2. Name the Revenue Class as Donation, then enable the Item Count as Non-Sales Revenue toggle, and press the blue Save button at the bottom right corner of the POS Terminal screen.
