  • You must be logged in with a Cashier, Manager, or Admin role.
  • The POS terminal must have loaded (you see the item catalog on the left and the cart on the right).

What Happens Behind the Scenes

You do not need to know this to use the system, but it helps if something seems wrong:
  • When you tap Charge, the system sends the cart to the server which recalculates the price using the official Item Price and applies any Pricing Rules or GST slabs. The number on the Payment screen is always the authoritative server-computed total.
  • When you tap Complete Sale, a POS Invoice is created and submitted. Stock in the warehouse is reduced. If loyalty is on, points are added to the customer’s account.
  • The sale is linked to the open shift so it appears in the Z-Report at close.

Troubleshooting

The Charge button is greyed out The cart is empty, or the shift is not open. Add at least one item, and check the Shift tab. The Payment screen shows a different amount than the cart The server re-prices the cart using official prices and rules. If a Pricing Rule changed since you added the item, the server amount is correct. “No open shift” message appears when I tap Charge Go to the Shift tab and open the shift before trying to bill. The item I scanned did not appear in the cart The barcode may have matched multiple items. Check the catalog - the matching items are filtered and shown. Tap the correct one. Sale completed but no receipt printed Check that the printer is connected and turned on. You can re-print from the POS Invoice in the back-office, or ask your manager.

Best Practices

  • Always link a customer at the start of the sale if they are a registered customer - they lose their loyalty points for that purchase if you use Walk-in
  • If a customer pays by cash, always enter the exact amount received, not the amount due, so the change is calculated correctly
  • If the customer wants a receipt but the printer is out of paper, complete the sale first, then refill the paper - you can reprint from the back-office
  • Hold the cart rather than removing items if the customer steps away for a moment - it is faster to resume than to re-add everything
