When creating sales items, it is important that you distinguish between sales items that are sold without or with variants and options. This distinction is important for the following reasons :
- You can respond to individual customer requests.
- You can react faster to trends and adapt your assortment accordingly.
- You can optimally manage your stock taking and make purchases directly.
- This gives you more flexibility in pricing.

Build to Order Sales Items with Options
When a sales item is custom made or prepared to order, you create the sales item in enforePOS as a Build to Order sales item. You can create Build to Order sales items with variants or without variants. If you want to implement individual customer requests or allow your customers to choose between different side dishes, you must create options. This case occurs mainly in the gastronomy. But you can also create a custom suit or a custom-built computer as a Build to Order sales item. You can subsequently link the respective options to the Build to Order sales item.
