    In 
order to complete a cash transaction, the following steps needs to be 
followed:
| 
       
  | |
| 
       1  | 
    
       Select the Cash Option button: 
  | 
| 
       2  | 
    
        
      Items can be entered in the system by either: Using the scanner, the user can scan the items. The 
      details (Description of Item, Quantity, Unit Price, Tax and Total) will be 
      displayed on the screen. All this information is loaded from the 
      preconfigured Inventory Master File. The user 
      can enter the barcode of the item in the Barcode Field and press enter. 
      This will again display the details (Description of Item, Quantity, Unit 
      Price, Tax and Total) on the screen.  
 
 Selecting

| 
       3  | 
    
       Once 
      the items are scanned or entered manually using barcodes or fast keys, the 
      system will calculate the total and display gross amount, tax amount and 
      the total amount of the cash sale on the main screen as shown 
      below: 
 At this stage, the user can choose from one of the 
      following options: Park the Transaction – This situation would arise when the customer does not have sufficient 
      funds for payment, or the customer has forgotten their wallet in the 
      car, or has simply decided that they do not wish to pay for the item. 
      The cashier can park the transaction for later retrieval and processing 
      (including voiding). Note: Only transactions that have NO RECEIPT can be 
      voided.  
      When Park is selected, the following screen loads for the cashier to 
      enter additional notes for parking the transaction. The fields and field 
      name within this screen are configurable and can be setup in the Configuration 
      menu (Menu ID: 237) in Backoffice: 
 When 
      the Retrieve Transaction screen is loaded to load the parked transaction, 
      the list of transactions will display the notes which were entered when 
      the transaction was parked: 
 Park Transaction can also be used for delivery, and 
      to pick up customers. The user can select the customer in the Customer Field, 
      select the items ordered by the customer, and Park the transaction. When 
      the customer comes to pick up the ordered items, the user can load the 
      Parked Transaction and process the order. Depending on the configuration setup, the system will 
      print a Parking Slip when transactions are parked. Apply Bulk Discounts – Each user is configured for 
      discount limits. If the user needs to give discounts, now is the 
      time.  Complete the Transaction – This will confirm 
      the transaction in the system and print the receipt (depending on the 
      Receipt Print Threshold set In the Configuration Maintenance). At this stage, 
      this transaction cannot be voided. If you need to reverse this transaction, 
      you need to perform a Return.  |

      Screen. The Payment Entry Screen is displayed below: 
 The Payment Entry Screen is designed to take multiple 
      payments. Each payment taken can consist of different details. This is 
      setup in the Payment Configuration Options and is set by your system 
      administrator.  |

       The system will display payment methods screen again 
      showing payment summary and payment totals – receipts and amount due. The 
      amount due will be displayed in change/cash out field. In order to 
      complete the transactions select the complete button or use the shortcut key 
      [F2]. The total amount in change, if any, will be displayed 
      on the screen. The receipt will be printed, and the cash register will open at 
      this stage. Once 
      change is given, the cash drawer should be closed for the next transaction 
      to process. The system will update the records and save the last 
      transaction from the screen, in order for the user to proceed with the next
