Do note that if a quick key is set only at the item but not the category, it will follow the item quick key; if there is a quick key set at the category, the quick key will need to include the category quick key.
For example, if the Pizza Category quick key is 101 and Bacon Pizza has a quick key of 222, the final quick key to be keyed in should be 101222 for Bacon Pizza.
