A/R and Cash Point of Sale Transactions

If no transaction type is chosen – the system will default to Cash. It is possible to change the type of transaction before the transaction is finalized.   

For some of the transactions it is necessary to enter a Customer Name or Account number. To simplify that process SpeedyPOS™ allows the user to type in one or two characters in the Customer Name or in the Customer Account cells, choose the type of transaction – and a list of corresponding customers appears for easy selection.  

The system allows authorized staff members to create special customizable pop-up messages that will appear on the screen when a specific customer is entered or chosen from a list.

Since the pop-up messages are customizable – you can alert your staff to any aspect of the customer you deem necessary. By carefully constructing your messages – the customer need never know what the pop-up massage actually means. You can also include reminders about outstanding balances, notes on pending shipments, etc.
