How to Create a POS Invoice

Introduction

The Point of Sale (POS) system in iVendNext streamlines retail transactions by combining sales, payments, and inventory updates into a single process. This guide walks you through creating a POS invoice, from selecting items to completing the order.





Prerequisites

Before creating a POS invoice, ensure:


  • A POS Profile is configured.

  • Items have selling prices in the Item Price List.

  • The default Warehouse is set (POS Profile settings override Item-level warehouse).


IdeaTip: Check item availability in the warehouse. Out-of-stock items are marked with a red dot.

Navigate to: Home > Retail > POS.

2. Select a Customer

  • Choose an existing customer or add a new one.


3. Add Items to the Cart

  • Method 1: Click item images from the list.

  • Method 2: Scan barcodes or enter serial numbers.

  • Use the Search field for large inventories.


4. Edit Item Details

  • Price/Discount: Edit if enabled in the POS Profile.


5. Review Cart Summary

Verify:
