Suspended Sales

Purpose and when to use this record

Preserve an unfinished point-of-sale ticket so it can be resumed without finalizing payment or inventory effects.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Foodservice Ticket Number.

  • Check its business context: Customer, Salesperson, Warehouse, Cashdrawer, and Foodservice Table.

  • Why care: Customer, warehouse, quantities, prices, tax, payment, and fulfillment represent different parts of the transaction. Review each before treating the sale as complete.

  • Why care: Treat posted, processed, paid, reversed, and edit-locked states as controls—not ordinary descriptive fields. Confirm the source transaction before changing any state that the screen permits you to change.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on suspended sales. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Have valid Customer records ready first. Those selections determine where this Suspended Sale belongs and which later screens can find it.

Delete a Suspended Sale

Delete this Suspended Sale only when it was entered by mistake and no downstream history depends on it. Use a reversal, void, credit, counter-adjustment, or status correction for a real event that later changed.

Before confirming, check for related Suspended Sale Items, and Suspended Sale Payments. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Foodservice Ticket Number. After confirmation, return to the Suspended Sales list and make sure only the intended Suspended Sale was removed.

Use the Suspended Sales list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Foodservice Ticket Number. Records with similar names or numbers can still belong to different Customer, Salesperson, Warehouse, Cashdrawer, Foodservice Table, and Foodservice Server.

  • Keyword search checks Id, Display Name, First Name, and Last Name.

  • Narrow the list with Customer, Salesperson, and Warehouse filters.

  • The date filter uses Last Modified At; choose a range that matches the business event you are reconciling.

Open the Suspended Sale whose Foodservice Ticket Number match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck Customer, Salesperson, Warehouse, Last Modified At, and Paid rather than creating a replacement immediately.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Customer and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Customer, Salesperson, Warehouse, Cashdrawer, Foodservice Table, and Foodservice Server from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
