What is Sales History?

The Sales History is the screen wherein you can keep a check on your sale transactions. You can even perform point of sale functions, such as sales recall and sales refund. Your store staff can use the Sales History to view sale details, return completed sales, reprint and email receipts or retrieve and continue Suspended Sales.

If you can process returns you must check out some of these important 'need to know' below. These are some key points to remember when performing a sale return.

• Return can be performed for some items in the sale transaction. (Partial)

• Return can be performed for all the items in the sale transaction (Full)

The item(s) in this sale should now all be on the sell screen they'll show as negative amounts. If it is a multi-item sale, the customer may only wish to return one of the items. If this is the case, swipe left on any products the customer does not want to return.

Once you are happy with how it looks, tap the 'Refund' button.

After you have confirmed this with the customer, choose which payment type you wish to use to finish the return.

Make payment

The payment options will vary for an Unregistered customer and a Registered Customer. For an unregistered customer, the payment can be processed either in Cash or Credit Card or Gift Card. For registered customers, additional options like Loyalty, Store Credit and On-Account are enabled.

Let’s have a quick look at what things look like in the payments screen and what's worth knowing:

The screen below shows the payment options that a cashier would see for a customer who is a frequent visitor to the store or has registered himself up with the store at some point of time.

The screen below shows the payment options that a cashier would see for a customer who walks in the store for the first time or has not registered himself with the store.

Amount to pay:

You'll notice in the payments window there is an 'amount to pay' field. Here you can overwrite the sales total, if the customer has tendered less or more. This allows you to accurately calculate change and also enables you to split payments.

Let's look at an example of where this would prove useful:

In this example a registered customer Glenn Berray has made purchases worth $1679. He chose to split the payment using different payment methods as under

Cash - $600

Credit Card - $600

Gift Card - $150

Loyalty - $100

Store Credit - $100

On Account - $129

The App will display the amount of change you need to issue a customer, if required. If you are using a cash drawer with your printer (this does not apply to handheld printers), this will cause the cash drawer to open.
