Tickets can be used as a way of verification and, in some cases, tickets may be scanned to confirm they are valid. The following outlines how to create ticket items with or without barcodes.

Creating a Ticket Item

1. From Manger Console, click Inventory.
2. Double-click Item�Maintenance.
   
3. Click Add.
4. Enter a Description.
   • For this example we will create an Admission Ticket.
5. Select Ticket�or�Barcode Ticket as the�Type of Item.
   • Select Ticket if the ticket will be shown or handed to a person. Select Barcode Ticket if the ticket will be scanned.
   • For this example we will create a Barcode Ticket.
6. Choose a Category and Sub-Category.
   
7. If the ticket requires a waiver, select Ask for Customer and Waiver Required.

   • This would be for something like a jump ticket.

     You can also attach a customer to a ticket without requiring a waiver by leaving Waiver Required deselected.
