POS feature of the week: Custom Receipt Messages and Printer Options
With the Aralco POS you can communicate company policies to your customers by printing custom receipt messages. Different messages would appear at the bottom of the receipt depending on what options were selected during the course of a transaction.
You can modify receipt messages at any time from the receipt printer setup in the POS. The printer setup is designed so you can quickly modify all of your messages.
You can write custom receipt messages for different transaction types, such as: layaways, orders, sales, quotes etc.
You can also have custom receipt messages for different transaction options, such as: returns, tax cancellations, discounts etc.
Finally, you can have custom receipt messages for various methods of payment, such as: cash, cheque, credit card, debit, etc.
For example, if a transaction involves a Layaway, the receipt printer will automatically print a specific message that applies to the transaction type. This message could be "A minimum deposit of 50% is required on all layaway items."
Given the following scenario, the transaction type is a sale, a discount was applied and the method of payment selected is a cheque, then all three messages will be printed on the receipt.
The Aralco POS also has several printing options. At the end of a transaction you can choose to print an invoice, a receipt or other pre-determined formats. You can choose the number of copies to be printed and also choose to print from any printer connected to the system. Emailing the document is another option. When you select this option the customer look-up screen appears right away so you can search and select the customer. Once selected the customer's email address will be entered automatically.
Once the document is printed you have the option of printing another receipt or invoice.
The custom receipt message feature is available in Aralco Version 400.
