Point of Sale

The Point Of Sale Terminal forms an integral part of Point Of Hire and Point Of Service, or may be used as a stand-alone system. You may setup a specific terminal (like on the front counter) to start-up in POS Terminal mode with access to all other functions, or exclusively for POS Terminal only.

It has automatic cash-drawer opening facility using either a COM or LPT port, with user-defined codes as required by your cash-drawer. Takings are placed in the Cash Journal and assigned to the local branch. Banking is prepared individually for each branch. When reporting, you may create a report for individual branches or all branches and head-office combined.

Apart from creating sales from various stock lines, you can accept payments on service jobs or accounts. For sales, an invoice is created either as a cash-sale or charged to an account. For payments, a receipt is printed showing any balance due.

Of course, you can also use a small POS Terminal Printer and use a pre-customised format for the sales dockets, either individually for a selected terminal (such as on the front counter) or all terminals. Other terminals may be set up to print standard full-size invoices.

Invoices may be created from a POS Terminal Sale or a Summary Invoice of Warranty Claims or Agency Jobs. It may also be created from periodical invoicing of an existing account for selected corporate customers, or from a Rental Booking.

If a rental booking, the information on the invoice will differ then for instance an ordinary cash-sale.

If a part-payment was accepted, you can enter the balance simply by accessing the POS Terminal and selecting "Invoice Payment", and entering the Invoice Number.

In 'Accounts Receivable' you will find credit control features for invoices. Invoices may be reprinted at any time.
