POS
Point of Sale turns the ERP into a till. Items and services appear on screen, you tap or scan to build a cart, take payment against a bank or cash account, and the sale is invoiced and printed on the spot — all fully posted into the same books as the rest of the system.
The four interfaces
| Mode | Suited to |
|---|---|
| Retail POS | High-volume retail — barcode scanning and keyboard speed. |
| Touch Based Compact POS | Small screens and mobile devices. |
| Touch Based Grid & Search POS | Businesses with distinct product groups — a visual grid of categories. |
| Touch Based List & Search POS | Services and large catalogues — a searchable vertical list. |
All four are described on Point of Sale.
What is in the module
| Screen | What it does |
|---|---|
| Point Of Sale | The till itself, in whichever mode you use. |
| POS Return | Taking goods back and reversing the sale. |
| Standalone POS | The separate app that keeps trading when the connection drops. |
| POS Receipt Designer | Designing what prints on the thermal roll. |
A POS sale is a full sales invoice. It moves stock, posts to the ledger and appears in your sales reports exactly like an invoice raised from the Sales module — there is no separate set of till figures to reconcile later.
Before you open the till
- Items need prices under the sales type you will trade on.
- An inventory location must be set, so stock comes off the right warehouse.
- Bank and cash accounts need to exist for payment to be allocated against.
- A walk-in customer record is worth creating for sales with no named buyer.
