Point Of Sale (POS) Order

Point Of Sale (POS) Order

Point of Sale orders are designed to record a quick sale and immediate payment (or placed on customer account).  A POS order would be used for a checkout or counter transaction where the inventory is in stock. 

The POS process is fairly straightforward;
  1. add a customer account (optional)
  2. add line item(s)
  3. tender and provide a receipt to customer

Below are additional POS functionality to improve the experience.  These features and more are in a demo below.

Pick List
A pick list  can be printed for a counter transaction where the inventory is not accessible by the customer and is required to be selected by an employee.  A check box will appear to add to pick list when product is available.  Once items are checked click on Pick List to create list.

Apply Price Level
The price level for all line items can be recalculated by selecting a price level and clicking the recalculate button   

Inquiry
There is an Inquiry checkbox in the left panel that, when checked, will allow for product lookup without adding line items to the order.  It will provide On Hand quantity, Base Price, and Unit Cost. 

On Hold 
If an order needs to be held for payment or any other reason, it can be placed on hold from the open status. 

Order Lookup
Any previous or current orders can be found in the bottom of the left panel by toggling on/off the order status to filter orders.  If the POS order number is known this can be entered and that order will open. 

Product Category Tiles
Product Category Tiles can be added to the POS screen to assist in finding product.  When product is not scannable drilling down through the product categories can help locate the product and then easily be added to the order.  Product On Hand quantities are also visible on listed category products.
