What this is
Create Sale is the till. Retail gets a product grid; restaurants get tables, takeaway, and KOT when those settings are on. Guest phone orders go to Online Orders first — they are not this screen.
When the full header is hidden (the default), use the till hamburger to open the sidebar. Turn Show the full aPOS header on the till on in General Settings if you want the usual logo bar and always-visible sidebar.
Before you start
Add products that can sell (Retail Product or Finished Product). Open the Cash Drawer if you take cash. Staff need sale permission.
Step-by-step
- Open Create Sale.
- Search or tap items. Restaurants can pick a table or takeaway first.
- Change qty, discount, and VAT on the cart if needed.
- Choose a customer or leave the walk-in guest. Phone is optional for guests.
- Choose Payment Type (Cash, Card, BML, Due, …), enter amount received, and complete the sale.
- Print or share the receipt.
What the important fields mean
- Payment Type — how this sale is settled. Due creates a customer balance.
- Discount — percent or amount off the cart.
- VAT — taken from the product, overridable on the line.
- Note — prints on the invoice.
After you save
Stock falls for tracked items and recipe ingredients. Cash drawer expected cash moves if you used cash. The sale appears on Sale List.
Common mistakes
- Selling an Ingredient — it will not be on the till.
- Using Due without a customer you can collect from later.
- Leaving the drawer closed and then wondering why cash does not match.
