POS Interface

When entering invoices for over the counter sales that will not include any hire items at all, it is not necessary to record all the customer's details such as name, address, phone number, etc.  In this case you can set up a generic Cash Sale customer to apply these invoices to. 

1. To set up a default Cash Sale customer, go to Setup > Customers and add a new customer.  Enter Cash or Cash Sale as the company (you can enter any generic name you like). 

2. Go to Setup > Preferences > Misc.

3. In the Cash Sale Customer dropdown, select the generic Cash Sale customer that you had set up in the previous step.

4. Click Save Changes button towards the bottom.

5. Return to the main page by clicking the Main option on the main menu strip (or click the HirePOS logo at the top).  You should now see a Cash Sale button on the main page.

6. Clicking the Cash Sale button will open up a new Invoice ready to enter a new cash sale.  

The POS interface for sales allows quick transactions for Sales items.  The interface allows for pre-set POS buttons that are linked to commonly sold items. 

Items can be added to the sale either by scanning a barcode, manually typing an item code or description, or by clicking a pre-set POS button.

How to add a POS button

1. From the main menu strip at the top, go to Setup > Items.

2. Lookup a sales item or add a new sales item. (see Note below)

3. Click the Stock Control tab.

4. Check the POS Button checkbox which is located just below the Barcode field.

5. Click Save Changes to save the record.
