POS

Counter billing (POS)

A till screen built for a queue: tap products, take the money in more than one way, and hand over the bill before the next customer reaches the counter.

What it does

The counter screen keeps products a tap away, by category, with a barcode scan for anything faster to shoot than to find. Each bill totals as you add to it, takes a discount at the line or on the whole bill, and prints to a thermal roll or shares as a PDF.

A counter opens with a shift and closes with a cash count, so the drawer at the end of the day has something to be measured against. Everything billed at the counter lands in the same books as an invoice raised anywhere else — same stock, same party ledger, same reports.

A shift, start to finish

  1. 1Open the shift

    The cashier signs in and records the cash already in the drawer.

  2. 2Bill the customer

    Tap or scan items, apply a discount, add a party if the bill is on credit.

  3. 3Take the money

    Cash, UPI, card or a split across them, then print or share the bill.

  4. 4Close and count

    Count the drawer by denomination; the shift report holds what was sold and how.

Inside POS

Counter billing for a shop with a queue: products a tap away, a barcode scan for the rest, split payments, and a shift that opens with a float and closes with a cash count. Counter bills land in the same books as every other invoice.

A till is used in bursts — open the shift in the morning, bill all day, count the drawer at night — so the parts that matter are speed at the counter and a clean close.

Questions people ask

Can two people bill at the same time?

Each counter bills on its own. One counter comes with every plan; a second till at the same shop is an add-on rather than a plan change — the prices above come from the live catalogue.

Does a POS bill show up in GST reports?

Yes. A counter bill is an invoice like any other, so it carries its tax slab and HSN and appears in the GST reports alongside the rest.

Can I sell on credit at the counter?

Yes — add the party to the bill and it goes to their khata instead of the drawer, where the usual reminders and ageing apply.

Whether the counter keeps billing with no internet is unverified. []
