💰 Cashing in

This section explains how to record a sale, manage payment methods and print a receipt.

🧾 Add an item to the ticket

  1. From the sales screen, select an item from the list (departments, groups or search).
  2. The item appears in the ticket on the right.
  3. Repeat to add multiple items.
💡 You can scan a barcode to add an item automatically.

🪙 Cash in the order

  1. Enter the amount (optional)
  2. Select the payment method used (cash, card, other).
✅ You can allocate multiple payments to the same sale (e.g., partial cash, remainder card).

🔖 Apply a discount

Before paying, you can apply a discount to the order:

  • Percentage discount (e.g. -10%)
  • Fixed amount (e.g.: -€2.00)

Discounts are visible on the ticket and sales report.

🖨️ Printing the ticket

Once the sale is validated, a receipt is automatically generated.

If a printer is connected, the ticket is printed immediately.

💡 You can reprint a ticket from the History menu.

❌ Cancel an order

Before cashing, touch the ESC icon to empty the receipt.

After collection, cancellation is possible according to your user rights.
