Disable Unwanted Modules

When managing your modules in HirePOS, it's essential to understand the process of disabling them to avoid unnecessary charges and ensure smooth operations. This guide will walk you through the steps to properly turn off modules and provide insights on specific considerations for certain modules.

If you have been trialing or actively using extra modules and have decided they are no longer needed, it is crucial to disable them before the start of the next billing period to prevent being charged for them. Once a module is deactivated, the change will be reflected in your subsequent bill.

Before disabling any modules in HirePOS, ensure that your business genuinely no longer requires the features they provide. Disabling a module does not result in data loss, but it does restrict access to related features until the module is reactivated.

To turn off a module, follow these steps:

• Navigate to Setup > Preferences > Modules.

• Uncheck the module(s) you no longer wish to use.

• Click Save Changes.

The branches module requires special attention when disabling. It is not as simple as just turning it off. Before deactivating the branches module, ensure you re-assign any items and sales records away from branches and re-configure branch-specific settings. Failure to do so can lead to undesirable outcomes, especially if there is a significant amount of data associated with branches.

Customers using external accounting software like MYOB or Xero may find that the features provided by the HirePOS Accounting/Bookkeeping Module are redundant. Many customers handle all accounting tasks in their external accounting suite. However, some businesses may benefit from using both systems concurrently. Evaluate your business requirements thoroughly before deactivating modules to make an informed decision.

By following these guidelines and considering the specific nuances of each module, you can effectively manage your modules in HirePOS and optimize your business operations.
