Point of Sale: Retail · Sales
Scan the barcode with the phone's camera or a scanner, or tap the article on the grid. The price, the VAT rate and the stock it comes from are on the line before you look at it.

The till is a phone. Sofie scans the mug with the camera, the line is on the ticket, and the shelf's stock is one lower before the customer has put her card away. The same phone does the stock count on Thursday morning: scan the shelf, type what is there, the difference is the shrinkage line. No dedicated hardware to buy first; a scanner, a drawer and a printer when you want them.
What a ticket carries, which VAT rate an article takes and how the day closes are yours to set.
An article has one price, one VAT rate, one stock per shop and one description, and the till, the webshop and the purchase order read the same record. Change the price once and it is changed at the counter and online, and a sale in either place moves the same stock.
A returned article comes back onto the stock and the customer gets cash, a credit note or an exchange, on the original ticket.
Points per euro, a gift card sold and redeemed at the counter, a promotion that applies itself to the ticket.
Each cashier signs in with a PIN, and what a cashier may do (a discount, a refund, the closing) is a role.
Takings per till and per shop, the average ticket, what sold and what did not, read from the tickets as they close.
One catalogue for the till and the webshop
An article has one price, one VAT rate, one stock per shop and one description, and the till, the webshop and the purchase order read the same record. Change the price once and it is changed at the counter and online, and a sale in either place moves the same stock.
What adapts: what a ticket line is (a scanned article, a button on a grid, an hour of labour), the VAT rates it carries, whether a customer is attached at all, what the stock count is compared with, and whether the ticket ends as a receipt or an invoice. Two shops can run the till and agree on none of those.
A ticket is four or five taps on a grid of buttons, no barcode, no customer, mostly cash, at 6% VAT. What was baked this morning is the stock, what is left at closing is the count that matters, and the till closes at 18:30 with the drawer counted by whoever is on.
A ticket carries the customer's bike by serial number, the repair as a labour line at the workshop rate, the parts fitted, the deposit paid when the bike came in, and it ends as an invoice to the customer's company when she asks for one.
Both shops, every till, today: what was taken and by what method, which closings are posted and which drawer is still open, what sold best this week, and the three articles that will run out before the next delivery.
A ticket ends on the stock, in the books and on the customer's record. Behind the shelf is the purchase order that filled it and the supplier bill that settles it; behind the closing is the ledger; behind the customer at the counter is the company that asks for a quote. The retail POS stops at the first of those. Enobase holds all three.
