The Point of Sale (POS) module is Beelocity’s counter-selling front end: registers (the tills), sessions (one cash-drawer shift), and a full-screen terminal where the cashier sells, refunds and takes payments.
Everything the register does lands in the books automatically. When a session closes, Beelocity generates the sales invoice and the treasury receipts for you, and every sale moves stock the moment the ticket completes — there is nothing to re-enter, post or reconcile by hand.
A typical day looks like this:
- The cashier opens the terminal, picks their register, and opens a session with the cash float they put in the drawer — say 5,000 DA in change.
- They sell all day: tap products or scan barcodes, take cash or card, give change, print receipts. A customer returning yesterday’s purchase gets a refund against the original ticket; a mistyped ticket from the same shift can be voided.
- At the end of the shift they close the session: count the drawer (notes and coins if they like), and Beelocity compares the count with what the tickets say should be there — the over/short.
- The session settles itself: one sales invoice for the day’s anonymous sales (and separate invoices for named customers), paid by treasury receipts — one per payment method, each into the treasury account that method names, with cash landing in the register’s own cash account. The Z-report summarizes the shift by payment method, tax rate and product category.
Read on:
- Registers — setting up the tills.
- Sessions — opening, counting, closing, and the Z-report.
- Selling at the till — the screen a cashier works in: the shelf, the basket, split payments, several customers at once.
- Tickets — the record of every sale, and the refunds and voids that correct it.
Navigation
Open Point of Sale in the sidebar. The module opens on what needs doing (below), and the sidebar lists the Terminal, the Sessions and the Tickets. Setup, at the end of the list, holds the Registers, its one tab: you set a till up once and come back when the shop changes. Each list keeps its address, so a bookmark still opens it.
See what needs doing
Opening Point of Sale shows the sessions waiting for somebody, in four lists. Each row opens the session, and the lists are read again every time you open the page.
| List | What it shows | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Closing, not finished | the sessions whose count was taken but whose settlement failed, which hold their register until somebody acts | open the session and close it again to finish it, or have a manager Force close it |
| Open sessions | the sessions a cashier still has open, the oldest first, marked once open for over fourteen hours | close and count the drawer at the end of the day |
| Closed with a difference | the sessions closed in the last seven days whose count did not match what the till expected, over or short, the newest first | open the session to see the difference and the note the cashier left |
| Force-closed, not settled | the sessions a manager force-closed while some of their tickets had no invoice, with how many and their total | invoice those sales by hand |
Each list shows five rows and how many there are in all, and View all opens the sessions at the same selection. Force-closed, not settled has none, because what it lists is worked out from the session’s tickets. Above the lists, Terminal opens the selling screen, and the day’s takings and the till figures sit above it. You see only the lists your role lets you open, and the button only if you may sell.
