POS Transaction and related procedures


NOTE:  Most sales will fall under the walk-in customer (POS_CUSTOMER) category.  If a customer says that they are Tax Exempt, they will need to show a Valid Tax Certificate.  A copy of the Tax Certificate should be made for Genteel Reflections records.  Once a copy of the tax certificate has been made,  choose the ‘POS_CUSTOMER_EXEMPT’) customer option.


NOTE:  If the barcode does not scan, use the keyboard to manually enter the product number.  

This will bring up the same box in the picture above and once the correct product  Number is highlighted, click the ‘Accept’ box.

CASH - If the payment type is ‘Cash’ tab, use the mouse to click on the ‘Amount’ box.  When the ‘Amount’ box is highlighted, enter the amount of cash that was received.  Hit the ‘Tab’ key and the amount of change owed the customer will show in the bottom box marked ‘Change’.  If all the information is correct, click the ‘OK’ box at the               bottom of the screen.  This will open the cash drawer and bring up the request to print the receipt.  Put the cash in the drawer and make the correct change.  Then click on the ‘Print’ box at the bottom of the page and the receipt will print to the cash register/ counter printer.  Give receipt to customer.
