Chapter 8. Point of Sale (POS)
The entries are filled in and the cursor is positioned at
1. Require
Ship To Address on
Invoice (Y/N)
. Make sure the responses are correct for the following fields:
CAUTION:
Not all fields are used at this stage of getting the POS module started. Press
Tab
to
bypass a field. Press
Esc
to back up one field.
If you wish to find out what the other fields do, you can use the on-line help system.
Position the cursor on the desired field and press the
F1
key (function key 1). A box will
be displayed, explaining the field. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the help
box. When done, press
Esc
to return to the same field.
4. Billing Type
This field determines how POS transaction number are assigned. Every
transaction entered through POS must have a unique transaction number. Enter
one of the following:
N
= Regular POS. Computer assigns all transaction numbers automatically.
This is the most common method.
O
= Order Entry. Allows only orders to be entered. The computer assigns the
transaction numbers.
T
= Operator enters the transaction number on the back screen of the POS
ticket. Or enter “0” (zero) and the computer automatically assigns the
next available transaction number. This option is normally used where
the ticket number on a hand-written sales order becomes the invoice
number or when re-entering transactions (i.e., from a restore backup).
Y
= Computer assigns transaction number but also asks for a sales order
number to be entered as a reference. This is normally used for batch
invoicing from hand-written sales orders.
This is the store default. This feature can also be password account specific if you
wish some password accounts to be set up differently.

After changing the entry, the computer asks:
Save Changes <Y/N>?
Enter
Y
if all entries are correct. Or enter
N
to not make the changes.

SALES—2. ADDONS

income accounts. A number is assigned to correspond with each type of addon
charge you may have. For example:
1
=
Delivery
2
=
Freight
3
=
Restocking
fee
4
=
Labor
5 = Returned check fee
