Making a sale

Note

Only staff with the takepayment permission (or the superlibrarian permission) will have access to this module.

When you first go in the point of sale module, the left side will show all the items for sale. These are debit types that were marked as ‘Can be sold’.

Note

You can customize the columns of this table in the ‘Table settings’ section of the Administration module (table id: invoices).

On the right side is the current sale.

Click on the ‘Add’ button next to the items to add to the current sale.

If you need to change the cost or the quantity, click on the amount on the right side and it will become an input box where you can enter the correct amount.

Once all the items have been added, quantities and prices adjusted if needed, fill out the ‘Collect payment’ form.

Amount being paid: this is the total, it cannot be edited since it’s not attached to a patron file, it cannot be partially paid.

Amount tendered: enter the actual amount handed to you by the patron. The amount tendered must be equal or greater than ‘Amount being paid’.

Change to give: if the amount tendered is greater than the amount being paid, Koha will calculate how much change should be returned to the patron.

Payment type: choose the type of payment.

Note

The values are managed in the PAYMENT_TYPE authorized value.

Cash register: choose the cash register in which to enter the transaction.

Click ‘Confirm’ to finalize the sale.

If change was to be given back to the patron, a pop-up window will appear to remind you, click ‘Yes’ to confirm that you gave back the correct amount and confirm the payment.

You will have the choice to print or email the receipt for the sale.

Note

The receipts can be customized in the Notices and slips tool. The letter code is RECEIPT.
