# Moving a sale to a table or tab

A customer orders at the counter and then decides to sit down? Move the sale you already rang up to a table or a tab. This works from a direct sale, not from a table or tab that is already open.

## To a table

1. Ring up the products in the sales buffer.
2. At the top of the sales buffer, tap **Table / tab** (the icon with the two arrows). Don't see it? Look under the three dots.
3. The search window opens on **Tables**. Tap the table.

*Moving a direct sale to a table.*

**Step 1**

The search window on Tables: Tafel 1 and 4 are free, Tafel 2 is occupied and Tafel 3 is in use on another device.
- Click Tafel 1

**Step 3**

The sale is now on Tafel 1, with the confirmation that it moved.

If the table is free, the whole sale moves to that table. If there is already an order on it, your products are added. The message **Moved to Tafel 1** confirms it and you carry on working on the table. Products you already sent to the kitchen move along.

## To a tab

In the same search window, tap **Tabs** and type the name. Tap an open tab to add your products to it, or tap **New tab** at the bottom to create a tab straight away with the name you typed.

The magnifying glass in the navigation bar opens the same search window on **All**: products, tables, tabs and customers in one list. On the right of each row you see what a tap does, such as **Move this order here** or **Add to this tab**.

*Searching in one window, and adding a sale to an open tab.*

**Step 1**

**Step 2**

- Click Marie

> **Good to know:** A table or tab that is open on another device is greyed out with your colleague's name, for example **In use by Unipage Demo**. You can't pick it. If a move doesn't work, your sale stays as it was and the message tells you why.
> 
> A customer or loyalty reward only moves along if the table or tab doesn't have one yet. The message after the move tells you what didn't come along.
