About TurboCASH

The Point-of-Sales feature allows you to process invoices using bar code readers, till slip printers, cash drawers, etc. TurboCASH Point-of-sale is aimed at users that sell to end users and want to produce invoices or till slips quickly. The aim is to keep the system as simple as possible, so TurboCASH.Seven deals only with finished goods.

Before you can work with Point-of-Sales, you need to set the following basic defaults:

Create Salespersons or cashiers who will be entrusted with a float, and to process the Point-of-Sale Invoicing shift. Set user passwords - It is optional, but recommended. If passwords are set, TurboCASH will not allow a user or salesperson to open a shift.
Set the Stock Information and Cost of Sales parameters and defaults up. You also need to specify if you will be using average or latest cost prices to calculate your cost of sales. This will definitely affect your gross profit (Sales less Cost of Sales)
Create and edit your Stock Items, if not already done when you have created your Set of Books. If you are going to use barcode readers, you need to enter the bar codes in the Edit - Stock Items menu option. If you are planning to use labels for your stock items, you need to define the labels for your stock items, if not already defined. You may print the stock item labels. If these labels are placed on your stock items, you may use bar code scanners, to add these items on an invoice.
Process any Purchases or Goods Returned documents and post or update these documents to the ledger. This could also have an effect on your gross profit. If you are a new business, and you have any stock items on your previous accounting records, you first need to take on the quantities or opening balances of your stock items, before you can actually start processing point of sale invoices or normal invoices.
Create a Cash Customer Account.
Set the Point-of-Sales parameters and defaults, cash drawers, barcode scanners and printers up on the Setup - System Parameters - Point-of-Sale menu option.
