To access the Miscellaneous Settings section, navigate to Setup > Preferences > Miscellaneous.

This setting determines whether prices in new invoices and purchase orders default to Tax Inclusive or Tax Exclusive in the line amounts.

When used with the "Auto-increment Customer Code" setting, this feature automatically assigns a code to new customers with the specified number of leading 0’s.

Displays a prompt to enter cash received and automatically calculates the change to be given.

Enabling this setting adjusts the Setup > Reminders List screen to display 'Account' in place of payment status for Account Customers (i.e. customers with a Credit Limit greater than 0), and will also hide any overdue deposits for that customer.

Note that 'Paid' badges are still shown on fully paid records.

Assumes all sales items are at a single location and tracks sales stock levels at the Item level rather than the Branch level.

Enabling this option will display alerts for any sales items whose stock drops below their reorder level after saving the invoice.

By utilising these miscellaneous settings effectively, you can tailor your HirePOS experience to better suit your business needs.
