Counter sales (receipts and quick checkout)

Counter sales comprise invoices created directly, without a prior order or quotation: the customer pays immediately at the counter. The screen lists these sales over a specific period (net excluding VAT, net including VAT, outstanding balance) and totals the amount including VAT for the current filter. The ‘New Receipt’ button opens a quick till interface: product search, basket, payment method, amount received and change given, followed by one-click payment processing.

What it is for

When a customer comes to the counter and leaves immediately with their goods, there is no need to go through the full process of quotation, order, delivery and invoice. The counter sale creates the invoice directly and records the payment straight away: a single transaction to sell and take payment. The main screen shows you the history of these quick sales over the period of your choice, including the outstanding balance for each sale and the total (including VAT) for the selection. The ‘New Receipt’ interface is designed for speed: you search for the product, add it to the basket, choose the payment method, enter the amount received, and the change is calculated automatically. Each receipt becomes a standard ForXell invoice: you can find it under ‘Invoices’, its PDF serves as a receipt, and any outstanding payments appear under ‘Outstanding Payments’. This is a lightweight solution for one-off sales, distinct from the full POS module (cash registers, X/Z sessions, reports) intended for fully equipped retail outlets.
