Setting up a comp with a comp report item

You can associate a comp with an item for reporting purposes. Reports will then let you analyse when and how often the comp item is used. The comp report item will be shown on reports and on the POS Order Window as a separate entry, letting customers and staff know the reason for the comp and the amount that's been discounted.

Tip: It's possible to use the same comp item for multiple comps, if separate reporting is not required. For example, you could create one comp item for each of your comp categories.

Steps

1. In Head Office or Cinema Manager, go to Maintenance > Promotions and Discounts.
2. Create a comp, or select an existing comp.
3. In the Report As dropdown, associate a comp report item to your comp. You can either:
   • Create a new comp report item using Create New... or Create '[Description]' Item, where [Description] is the description used in the comp.
   • Select an existing comp report item from the list.
     

     Tip: Comp report items are any item with the Item for Order Comps checkbox selected in the Items maintenance form.

4. Save the comp.
