TallyPrime a business management software is inbuilt with the capability to record POS invoices. It supports multiple multiple payment modes such as cash, cheque, card, gift card etc. and print the invoices in the POS format.
Point of sale or POS is the time and place where a retail transaction is completed. At sale points, the merchant calculates the amount owed by the customer, indicates that amount, may prepare an invoice for the customer, and indicates the options for the customer to make payment.
It is also the place at which a customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or after provision of a service. On receipt of payment, the merchant may issue a receipt for the transaction, which is usually printed but is increasingly being dispensed with or sent electronically
Today businesses are increasingly adopting POS systems, and one of the most obvious and compelling reasons is that a POS system does away with the need for price tags. Price to sell is here directly linked to the product code of an item when adding the stock, so the cashier merely needs to scan this code to process a sale.
Even when there is a price change, this can also be easily done through the inventory window. Other advantages of a POS System include, the ability to implement various types of discounts, a loyalty scheme for customers, and more efficient stock control.
