Till screen (quick sale)

→ Open cash registers in SimpliServ

The till screen is the full-screen interface you sell from at the counter. On the left you pick products via tiles, search or scanner, on the right the cart grows; a tap on Continue takes you to checkout. This guide explains the screen itself. Sessions, orders at the till and cancellations are covered in Cash register (POS).

Select productsCopy Anchor Link

• Tiles: At the top you navigate through categories and subcategories; a tap on a product tile puts the product in the cart. Each tile shows the stock level, e.g. "Only 2 left" or Sold out.
• Search and scanner: The search field (key F8) finds products, but also invoices, orders, tickets and vehicles by their number. A barcode scanner types directly into this field. If the search finds no product, you can take the text over as a free item.
• Quick sale: tile for a free item without a catalogue product, with Name, gross price, tax rate and quantity.
• Sell voucher: tile for a gift voucher, see Vouchers.

Customise the screenCopy Anchor Link

• Tile size: make tiles larger or smaller, e.g. for touchscreens.
• Sort: at the top level, arrange categories by drag and drop and save with Save.
• Views: A view shows only selected categories, such as "Winter" and "Summer". Anyone can switch; creating and changing via Edit views … needs Administration → Settings → Edit. Views apply to all registers; search and scanner still find all products. Which view a register shows at start is set in the register settings under Start view.

Edit the cartCopy Anchor Link

A tap on a line opens Edit position. There you change Quantity, Unit price and Discount (percentage or amount), alternatively set a Final unit price (discount calculated), or write a Note that appears on receipt and invoice below the item. Remove takes the line out.

• Serial numbers: For serialised products the cart shows how many serial numbers are missing. You can only continue once all are entered or scanned.
• Insufficient stock: If stock is not enough, the till asks. With Sell anyway you sell anyway and reorder; serialised products cannot be oversold.
• Mixed tax rates: If the till detects different tax rates, it offers to unify them to one rate. You can also choose Keep.

Park and recallCopy Anchor Link

With Park you put the current cart aside under a label such as "Table 4". Recall opens the list Parked sales; Load brings a sale back. Voucher sales cannot be parked. Details in Park a sale.

More actionsCopy Anchor Link

The More actions menu at the cart offers:

• Previous receipt: print the last receipt again.
• Print A4 invoice: create an A4 invoice with recipient for the last sale. The till receipt remains the tax document; the A4 invoice is marked as paid. Above the small-amount threshold (AT €400, DE €250 gross) the recipient is mandatory.
• Record tip: record a tip for one person or the team pool, in cash into the drawer or by card. Tips are not part of the receipt and do not count as revenue.

If there are still lines in the cart when you leave, the till asks whether you want to discard the cart or keep selling. More shortcuts in POS hotkeys.
