Invoices

The Point of Sale screen is the most sctive part of the AMBITious POS system. This screen provides the resources counter personnel need to do their job of serving customer. This includes not only creating invoices, it also includes receiving payments on account, handling layaways and gift cards, looking up and printing previous invoices.

 
How you do business

Stores vary in how the do business. Some have a register with one cashier for the shift. Others have several clerks who use any available register. Some want their clerks to only ring up items and take money. Others want their clers to be able to provide a significant amount of service (take payments, reprint statements, create bids and special orders…). AMBITious POS can be configured to show and allow the clerks to perform the actions needed to do their job. These configurations are workstation clerk specific so the clerk running a lane has different options from the clerk at the contractor counter.
