POS Interface

In HirePOS, when entering invoices for over-the-counter sales without any hire items, you can set up a generic Cash Sale customer to streamline the process. This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up a default Cash Sale customer and add POS buttons for quick transactions.

To set up a default Cash Sale customer:

1. Go to Setup > Customers and add a new customer.

2. Enter "Cash" or "Cash Sale" as the company name (you can use any generic name).

3. Go to Setup > Preferences > Misc.

4. In the Cash Sale Customer dropdown, select the generic Cash Sale customer you set up earlier.

5. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom.

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

The POS interface in HirePOS allows for quick transactions for sales items. You can add items to the sale by scanning a barcode, manually typing an item code or description, or by clicking pre-set POS buttons.

To add a POS button:

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

2. Lookup a sales item or add a new sales item.

3. Click the Stock Control tab.

4. Check the POS Button checkbox located below the Barcode field.

5. Click Save Changes to save the record.

The Item Type set against the item determines whether it is for hire or sales. The Non Stock box is checked for non-tangible sales like delivery or surcharges.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage over-the-counter sales and enhance the POS experience in HirePOS.
