Point of sale

The point of sale screen is built for speed at a counter, but the sale it writes is an ordinary invoice: stock moves and the ledger balances as the sale is rung up.

• Fast keyboard-driven entry, designed to be used without a mouse.
• Cash, card, cheque and on-account payment, including split tender, in one step.
• Park an open sale and pick it up again at any till.
• Print a receipt to a till printer from your own template.
• Cash over and short posts to its own account, so the till reconciles honestly.
• Parts groups drive the layout, so the items you sell most are where the hand expects them.
• Stock leaves the shelf and revenue posts as the sale completes — there is no end-of-day import.
• A receipts report shows what each till took, by day.

Ringing up a sale

1. Open POS › Sale. The default walk-in customer is selected; change it for an account customer.
2. Scan or type the part number and quantity, then Update. The price comes from the price list and the on-hand figure shows beside the line.
3. Enter the amount tendered against a payment method and account. Split tenders are just two rows.
4. Post writes the invoice, takes the stock and prints the receipt. Open Drawer fires the till; Preview shows the receipt first.
5. A sale that has to wait can be posted without payment and picked up later from POS › Open.

End of day

1. POS › Receipts lists what each till took, by payment method, for the day.
2. Payment methods and their surcharges live in System › Payment Methods; the parts groups that lay out the till are in Goods & Services › Groups.
