If you are a multi-location user of National Soft and Soft Restaurant, you know that products are not shared through one POS master location. You can, however, export and import product catalogs from one location to another so that item PLUs don't have to be written manually on every location.
Follow these steps to export and import your POS product catalogs.
If you require assistance or have questions about this process, raise a support ticket with National Soft, as only they are best equipped to help you with these POS settings and behaviors.
