Your first day
Sign in, fill in your shop's details, open the till and make your first sale — one person can do it all.
Sign in
- Open pos.uds.lk and choose Sign in.
- Use the username and the temporary password UDS gave you.
- UDS POS asks you to choose a new password straight away. Pick one only you know.
Tell UDS POS about your shop
Open Settings → Shop & VAT.
- Name, Phone and Address are printed at the top of every bill. Check the spelling.
- Kind of business: Retail or Spare parts.
- Write quotations: adds Quotes to the menu, so you can price a job for a customer before any stock moves — see Quotations. It is on from the start for a spare-parts shop; any shop can turn it on.
- VAT: if the shop is not VAT-registered, leave the rate at 0. If it is, read Tax invoices first.
Press Save. Then look at Settings → Receipts & invoices, where you choose the paper, add your logo and see a preview of a bill — see Printing bills and your logo.
Put your products in
Two ways, and you can use both:
- a few at a time, by hand — Adding products;
- many at once, from an Excel sheet — Importing from Excel.
Open the till and make a sale
- Press Open till at the top of any screen.
- Scan a barcode, or type part of a name or code to find the item. It goes on the bill.
- Press Pay, choose how the customer pays — Cash, Card, QR, Transfer or On account for a customer who pays later — and finish the sale. The bill prints.
If you want to count the cash drawer every day, turn on shifts — see Opening and closing a shift. The till then asks for the cash in the drawer before the first sale.
What next
- Selling in more detail: Making a sale.
- Customers who buy now and pay later: Credit customers and part payments.
