Product Entry

You could almost say this is the key to good epos. The benefit you get through selecting the right item at

the right price and analysed to the right sales group is invaluable. So labelling figures in how well the till works



Barcode Scanning

As you would expect barcode scanning is the major way of serving items to be sold. It is accurate in selecting the correct description and price. Each item can have multiple barcodes linked to it and also reads special ones like the ones produced by weighing scales.


Product Not Found

Obviously not all products have been recorded on the system or if they have a barcode may not have been stored with it. It is important to let the operator know that although the scanner can read the barcode it has not been correctly matched against a product. We display a warning message that the operator has to respond to with a warning beep from the till. This must be dealt with before processing other items into the customer’s basket.

Product Repeat

If the customer is buying more than one of the same item , but each is at a varying in price, then the repeat button will reload the product without having to scan or enter it again, which speeds up the serving time.



Product Dump

Where no specific product has been created to sell this item then a generalised line called a dumping code may be used. This lets each sale be entered at the individual price of each item. An example of this may be pick and mix sweets. It may be that it is being used because of problems with data creation, so optionally a reason for use and an operator comment can be collected to be reviewed by the back office staff later.

Product Void

During the sale the customer may change their mind and decide to remove an item , or the operator has selected the wrong product, either way the sale needs adjusting. By highlighting the line to be voided, the line gets removed from the sales totals and will not get printed on the receipt when produced at the end of the sale. The voided line has its colour changed to red and a strike through line shown on screen to make it clear it has been voided.

Sale Cancel

Sometimes either the operator or the customer get so confused by changes or in fact the customer does not have enough funds, such as a declined card, that the sale needs to be cancelled and a new sale started.
