Taking Payment
Touch POS will not leave money unaccounted. If the cash entered is less than the bill and no customer account is picked, it says "No account has been selected against credit Amount". For a card sale with no bank account picked, it asks you to "Select Your Bank Account in which card Payment will be deposited".

With real numbers, the way a shop uses it.
Raju Mobile Point buys 5 phones with serials 101 to 105. A customer buys the phone with serial 104. At POS the counter boy types 104 and the bill shows that phone. Six months later the customer returns with a warranty claim. Serial No. Tracking shows the date, bill number and customer for 104 in one line.
Serial-Number Billing & TrackingA grocery counter sells only to walk-in customers and never asks for a mobile number. The owner sets Account Name to Cash, ticks Skip for Date, Bill No., Account Name, Sale Type and Mobile, and presses Alt+S to save the settings.

Questions
What people ask about POS & Touch POS.
How is POS different from the Sale screen?
POS is a fast counter screen with only customer, items and payment. The Sale screen carries full detail like transport and EMI. Both use the same items, stock and accounts.
I clicked Point of Sale and got a list of bills, not the billing screen. Why?
Users who may view old POS bills see the POS BILL BOOK first. Press New on it to start a bill.
How do I save and print in one key?
Press F6. It works from any box once the bill has at least one item.
How do I put the whole bill on card quickly?
Tick "Press C at cash Tendered, then all amount will goto card" in General Settings → POS. Then press C in Cash Tendered.
The customer pays part cash, part UPI. How?
Press Space in Cash Tendered, fill Cash Amt. and eWallet Amt with its account, press OK and save.
Why does Change show a minus figure?
Change is the bill amount minus the cash tendered. Bill 380, tendered 500 shows -120.00, which is the Rs 120 you give back.
It says "Receipt amounts do not match with sales amount".
The amounts in the payment panel do not add up to the bill. Correct them so cash, card, wallet, cheque and points equal Net Bill Amt.
It says "No account has been selected against credit Amount".
Part of the bill is unpaid. Either take the full amount, or pick the customer's own account in Customer's Name so the balance is recorded as credit.
It says "Please Complete payment first, then save".
Save POS Bill After Full Payment Only is ticked. Take the full amount in the payment panel, then save.
Can I hold a bill and serve the next customer?
Yes. Press Hold. Later click the search button next to Hold, double-click the held bill and finish it.
