Point of Sale (POS)
The Point of Sale (POS) module in ERPNext is designed for businesses that process sales directly at retail counters, stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and similar outlets. It provides a fast and simplified interface for recording sales while keeping inventory and accounting records synchronized.
POS supports cash and credit sales, multiple payment methods, barcode scanning, offline operation, and real-time inventory updates, allowing businesses to serve customers quickly while maintaining accurate stock and financial records.
