"_label": "Point of Sale (POS) Invoice"
}
---
For retail operations, the delivery of goods, accrual of sale and payment all happens in one event, that is usually called the “Point of Sale”.
You can make a Sales Invoice of type POS by checking on “Is POS”. When you check this, you will notice that some fields get hidden and some new ones emerge.
> Tip: In retail, you may not create a separate Customer record for each customer. You can create a general Customer called “Walk-in Customer” and make all your transactions against this Customer record.
#### Different sections of the POS
- Update Stock: If this is checked, Stock Ledger Entries will be made when you “Submit” this Sales Invoice and there is no need for a separate Delivery Note.
- In your Items table, you will also have to update inventory information like “Warehouse” (can come as default), “Serial Number” or “Batch Number” if applicable.
- Update “Payment Details” like your Bank / Cash Account, paid amount etc.
- If you are writing off certain amount, for example change or you get extra change, check on “Write off Outstanding Amount” and set the Account.
#### POS Settings
If you are in retail operations, you want your Point of Sale to be as quick and efficient as possible. To do this, you can create a POS Setting for a user from:
Accounts > Point of Sale (POS) Setting
and set default values as defined.
