How to ring up a sale at the Point of Sale

Point of Sale records cash sales where goods and money change hands immediately. Tap products into the cart, take payment, and press Charge. The till posts income and cost of sales in one action, so there is no debt to track. Use it for counter sales, table service, and shift management.

What is Point of Sale for?

Point of Sale is the till for cash sales. Unlike an invoice, it does not create a debt because the customer pays on the spot. It records the sale and the cash in one go, and it posts both the income and the cost of the goods sold automatically. Do not record the takings again in Cash In & Out, or your income is counted twice.

How do I ring up a counter sale?

  1. Tap a product card, type in the search box, or scan a barcode to add items to the Cart.
  2. Use the plus and minus buttons to change quantity, or add a note if needed.
  3. Enter a Discount if applicable. It reduces the total before tax.
  4. Press Take payment and choose Cash, Card, e-Wallet, or DuitNow.
  5. For cash, type the amount handed over in Cash tendered to see the Change.
  6. Press Charge to complete the sale and print the receipt.

How do I park a sale for later?

  1. Press Hold to save the current cart and clear it for the next customer.
  2. Press Held to view parked sales.
  3. Press Resume to bring a saved cart back into the active view.

How do I split a bill between people?

  1. Press Take payment, then select Split the bill.
  2. Set How many bills and assign items to each bill under Who pays for what.
  3. Choose a payment method for each bill and press Charge.
  4. Each bill creates a separate sale with its own receipt number.

How do I void or amend a wrong sale?

  1. Open the actions menu and press Recent sales.
  2. Press Void to cancel the sale. Stock returns today, and cash is removed from the original sale date.
  3. Press Amend to fix items and re-charge. This creates a new sale with a new receipt number.
  4. Never hand cash back out of the drawer without voiding. Be careful voiding a sale from a month you already closed: its takings change after you reported them.

How do I open and close a shift?

  1. Press Open shift and count the starting money into Opening float.
  2. Serve customers throughout the day.
  3. Press Close shift, count the drawer, and type the figure into Counted in drawer.
  4. Check the Difference to see if you are over or short for the day.

What this does to your books

Charging a sale debits Cash & Bank (1000) and credits Sales / Revenue (4000) for the total after discount, dated today. For stocked items, it also debits Purchases (5000) and credits Inventory / Stock (1300) to record cost of sales. Each split bill posts on its own. Holding a sale or opening and closing a shift posts nothing. A void removes the cash-in from the original sale date and returns stock on the day you void.

Questions, answered

Does Point of Sale create an invoice?

No, it records a cash sale. The customer pays immediately, so there is no debt or invoice to chase. The sale posts directly to your income and cash accounts.

Can I record yesterday's sale today?

No, a POS sale is always dated today. If you enter a sale late, it will appear in today's takings, not the previous day. You cannot backdate a counter sale.

What happens if I void a sale?

Voiding removes the cash from the original sale date and returns stock to inventory on the day you void it. This ensures your daily takings and stock levels stay accurate.
