Price check, scanning and no-sale
Look up a price without touching the bill, scan with a scanner or the camera, and open the drawer with no sale — recorded.
Check a price
A customer asks "how much is this?" in the middle of a bill:
- At the till, press Price check.
- Scan it, or type its name, item code or barcode.
- The price shows — and how many are in stock, if your shop keeps stock figures.
- Press Check another, or close it. The bill you were ringing up is untouched.
With two or more branches, the owner also sees Other branches: how many each of the other branches holds — for example "Other branches: Kandy 4 · Galle 0". A cashier sees it too if the owner turns on Cashiers can see stock at other branches under Settings → Shop & VAT. It shows quantities only, never a cost.
Scanning
- A barcode scanner (USB or Bluetooth) works like a very fast keyboard: scan, and the item goes on the bill. Nothing to set up in UDS POS.
- The camera — on a phone or tablet, press Scan with camera and hold the barcode in front of it. Allow the camera the first time the browser asks.
Open the drawer with no sale
Sometimes the drawer must open without a sale — change for a customer, checking the float.
- At the till, press No sale. (It needs an open shift — see Opening and closing a shift.)
- Choose why, for example Change for a customer or Checking the float.
- Press Open drawer.
A slip prints with the date, the shift and who opened it. Every no-sale is recorded, because an open drawer with no bill is where cash goes missing.
