Create a single-punch item in Lightspeed. Add punches.

 Punch management in Thirdshelf is fully automated and seamless. The process described in this article is for special cases, as directed by your Thirdshelf advisor or a referring article.

Once you've completed the steps below, you will have a list of non-inventory SKUs, which you will place in a transaction to manually execute a "punch" on a punch card. You will easily control the number of punches with the Quantity field.

A positive quantity will add punches and a negative will remove punches.

Please note that purchases and returns will automatically add and subtract punches.
