FAQ Point of Sale POS Companion Products and Dynamic Menus - Quick Start Guide
In Novohit, any Point of Sale Product can be configured as a "Complement Product". In this way "Dynamic Menus" can be built during the operation of the Point of Sale by simply choosing any Point of Sale Product and then adding the appropriate Complements, optional at an additional price.
The Complement Products (Dynamic Menus) option is additional and independent to Packages - Combos - Kits.
The Packages - Combos - Kits can be used for sale of inventoriable products (Retail) or with non-inventoriable products (A&B).
The difference with the Companion Products is that the Packs - Combos - Kits are pre-associations of Products, while the Companions can be associated to any other Product dynamically.
