The dark bar at the very top of the screen is always visible, no matter which tab you are on.

***
## The Sell Screen
The Sell screen is where you spend most of your time. It has two parts side by side.
### Left Panel: Item Catalog
**Register line** (top of catalog):
Shows which terminal/register you are on (for example, "Counter 1") and which POS Profile is active. The "Switch register" button lets you change to a different counter if needed.
**Search bar**:
Type part of a shoe name, item code, or size to filter the catalog. If a barcode scanner is connected, scanning a barcode automatically finds and adds the item to the cart.
**Category filter chips**:
Buttons like "All", "Sports", "Formal", "Sandals", "Kids" let you filter the catalog by product group. Tap a category to see only those items.
**Item cards**:
Each item shows:
* Product name and image
* Price
* Stock quantity available (shown as a badge)
* A "low stock" warning when quantities are running low
Tap any item card to add it to the cart. If the item has no in-stock units, it will not appear (controlled by the "Hide Out of Stock" setting).
**Scroll to load more**:
If there are many products, scroll down in the catalog to load the next page automatically.
### Right Panel: Cart
The cart panel lives on the right side of the screen (or below the catalog on mobile/tablet).
**Customer row** (top of cart):
Shows who is buying. Tap it to search for a customer by name or mobile number, add a new customer, or switch to Walk-in. If loyalty is on, the customer's point balance appears here as a small star badge.
**Cart header**:
Shows how many items are in the cart.
**Line items**:
Each product you have added shows:
* Item name
* Unit price and unit of measure
* Quantity stepper (minus, number box, plus) to adjust quantity
* Trash icon to remove the item
* Line total on the right
**Discount row**:
A toggle between flat amount (₹) and percentage (%). Enter a value to apply a whole-cart discount. The total updates live.
**Totals section**:
* Subtotal (before tax and discount)
* Each tax row (GST component with rate and amount)
* Discount amount (if applied)
* Grand Total (the amount the customer pays)
**Hold button**:
Parks the current cart to the Held Orders tab so you can serve the next customer.
**Charge button**:
Opens the Payment screen. Available only when the cart has at least one item and a shift is open.
***
## The Payment Screen
The Payment screen appears as a pop-up over the Sell screen when you tap "Charge".
* **Amount due** is shown prominently at the top
* **Loyalty redemption** section appears if the customer has points (tap "Max" to use all available)
* **Payment mode rows**: one row per payment mode (Cash, Card, UPI, etc.). Enter the amount for each mode. Tap "Exact" to fill the full amount due in that row
* **Paid / Due / Change** summary at the bottom updates as you type
* **Complete Sale** button becomes active once the amount paid equals or exceeds the amount due
***
## The Shift Screen
This screen has three states:
1. **No shift open**: Shows the "Open Shift" form where you enter the opening cash float
2. **Shift open**: Shows a green "Shift open" badge, the shift start time, total sales so far, and the "Close Shift" form
3. **After closing**: Shows the Z-Report with a full reconciliation table and a Print button
***
## The Returns Screen
* Type the original invoice number and tap "Find"
* The sale appears with all items and quantities
* Adjust quantities to select what is being returned (set to 0 for items being kept)
* Choose the refund payment method
* Tap "Process Return"
***
## The Held Orders Screen
Lists every parked cart with:
* Customer name (or "Walk-in")
* Number of items and estimated total
* Time the cart was parked
* "Resume" button to bring it back to the Sell screen
* Trash icon to discard the cart
***
## The Analytics Screen

***
## The Workspace (Back-Office)
In addition to the POS terminal at `/pos`, there is a back-office workspace called **PointOfSale** in the Bizaxl desk. This is where Admins and Managers go to manage records.
**Quick Access shortcuts** (top of workspace):
* **POS Settings**: Jump straight to the settings record
* **Terminals**: See a count of active terminals with a link to the list
* **Sales**: See how many draft POS Invoices are open
**Category cards** (main area):
* **Sales**: Links to POS Invoice, POS Profile, Shift Opening (POS Opening Entry), Shift Closing (POS Closing Entry)
* **Catalog and Pricing**: Links to Item, Item Price, Pricing Rule
* **Configuration**: Links to POS Settings, Terminals, Mode of Payment
**Sale Lifecycle** (pipeline at the bottom):
A visual three-step flow: Shift Opened → Sale → Shift Closed. This shows you where each day's activity sits.
**"Open POS" button**: Takes you directly to the `/pos` terminal.

## Keyboard and Scanner Tips
* Press **Enter** in the invoice number field on the Returns screen to search
* Press **Enter** in the customer search box to find the customer
* A barcode scan on the Sell screen automatically searches and adds the item if exactly one match is found
