To return a product and refund to customer, from POS main view, you need to insert negative values: Select the product your customer wants to return, use the +/- button and enter the quantity they need to return. If they need to return multiple products, repeat the process.

As you can see, the total is negative, to end the refund you simply have to process the payment:

To apply time-limited or seasonal discount, please use the pricelists. You have to create it and apply it on the point of sale.

Once the setting has been applied, a Price list section appears under the configuration menu on the sales module

Click on it, and then on Create

Create a Price list for your point of sale. Each pricelist can contain several items with different prices and different dates. It can be done on all products or only on specific ones. Click on Add an item

For example, the price of oranges costs VND 1,634,500 but we want to give a 3% discount to our PoS customers from December 2018 to the end of January 2019.

You can do it by adding the product or its category and applying a percentage discount. Other price computation can be done for the pricelist.

After you save and close, your pricelist is ready to be used.

Please be noted that this feature only works on POS configured for restaurant.

From Point of Sale ‣ Dashboard, begin your New Session.

Choose a table, table 4 (T4) for example, and place an order.

For some reason, after order registration, customer wants to move table 13 (T13). Press Transfer in the main screen to move this order.

Select the table to which you want to transfer customers. It is table 13 (T13) in this example.

The order has been added next to the current order of table 13 (T13).

The purpose of multi-session is to facilitate the synchronization of multiple concurrent sessions. For instance, an order that is placed on the waiter’s device will appear on the cashier’s device as long as their POS configurations contain the same multi-session, which is established by the restaurant’s owner/manager.

The owner/manager should create relevant POSes in Point of Sales ‣ Configuration ‣ Point of Sales before starting a multi-session in Point of Sales ‣ Configuration ‣ Multi-session Settings

Noted that only unused POS can be added/removed from a multi-session (as KIU has warned in the footer).

After a multi-session is saved, it will appear in the related POSes configurations
