This help will guide you through the setup and usage of our point of sale cash register software.

Expiration date management

📅 The software allows you to manage the best before dates of your items (BBD).

⚙️ Activating the feature

To enable this feature, go to the page Configuration > General Options, then activate the option in the paragraph Item Catalog Options.

You can also set a warning period (in days) before reaching the best before date of an item.

📝 Configuring DLC for Items

Once enabled, you will be able to set the best before date for each item from the item configuration page.

📦 If you sell the same item with several different best before dates, you must assign them separate barcodes to differentiate them.

📋 Tracking Near or Expired Items

On the cash register closing page, the software automatically displays:

  • ✅ Items approaching their expiration date (marked in warning color)
  • ❌ Items whose DLC has expired (displayed in red)
