POS or PoS is an abbreviation for Point of Sale (or Point-of-Sale, or Point of Service). Point of sale (POS) systems or special interfaces of ERP systems are used by cashiers or sales assistants in retail stores to process customer orders and to accept payments from customers. The POS interface was designed to ensure that cashiers can quickly and accurately perform their typical tasks: scan barcodes and find products or search for products by name or category in the database, close orders, process returns, and see discount details. This POS interface is intended for usage in stores with low or medium size retail operations.

To enable the POS functionality, open the Administration > Settings > Sales form and select the Enable POS Interface option in the Retail Management section.

Also, in the Default Retail Customer field, select (or create) a special name for a retail customer, such as Retail Customer, NoName Customer, or any other.

To users who will use the POS interface, assign the appropriate access rights – the Sales Manager profile.

Payments for retail sales can be accepted in cash or by bank cards. For detail on configuring bank card payments, refer to Setting up Card Payments.
