Keep expenses, bills, refunds and batch dates in step

Expenses, supplier bills and customer refunds are passed on to the other computers, so you type each one only once. The batch and expiry dates you enter at purchase go too.

5 things it does

An expense you record on one till reaches the other tills

Professional only

Do expenses entered on one till show on the other tills? An expense recorded on one till is passed on to the other tills on the shop network.

Without it

An expense written on one till stays on that till. The figures on the others leave it out, so the day's totals do not agree.

With it

The expense is passed on to the other tills on the shop network, so they have it too, with no second typing.

You do not copy it across. It travels with the other back-office records of the shop, such as purchases and supplier payments. No one types it a second time.

Other ways people ask this
  • expenses entered on one pos till show on the others
  • record a shop expense on one computer see on another
  • shop expenses shared between pos computers

Supplier bills, returns and payments reach your other tills

Professional only

Are purchase bills and supplier payments booked on one till visible on the other tills? Purchase bills, purchase returns and supplier payments booked on one till are passed on to the other tills on the shop network.

Without it

You record a delivery from a supplier on one till. The other tills do not show that bill or the payment you made, so the supplier's figures disagree.

With it

The purchase bill, a return to the supplier, or a payment to the supplier reaches the other tills, so they show the same bills.

Each one travels with the lines it belongs to. A voided purchase bill travels too, as its own record. No one types it a second time.

Other ways people ask this
  • purchase bills shared between pos computers
  • record supplier bill on one computer see on another
  • supplier payments show on other computers in my shop

Batch and expiry dates you enter at purchase reach your other computers

Professional only

Do the batch numbers and expiry dates I enter on a purchase reach my other computers? A purchase that creates a batch sends its number, expiry date and cost to the other computers on the shop network. A till there can then sell by batch, warn on expiry and print the batch.

Without it

You record a delivery with its batch number and expiry date at the back of the shop. The till at the counter does not have them, so it cannot warn you about expiry.

With it

The batch number, expiry date and cost travel to the other computers on your shop network. The till there can sell by batch and warn about expiry.

When a delivery, a purchase bill or a Quick purchase creates a batch, the batch goes with it. A later change to a batch's dates or cost is sent on as well.

Other ways people ask this
  • batch numbers on every till in my shop
  • expiry dates reach my second computer
  • batch and lot tracking on several computers

A customer refund reaches the other computers and moves their balance

Professional only

Does a customer refund I give on one computer reach my other computers? A customer refund, and its void, is sent to the shop's other computers and changes the customer's balance there the same way.

Without it

You refund a customer on one computer, but the other computers still show the old balance. Their figures for that customer then disagree with yours.

With it

The refund, and any void of it, is passed to the other computers. Each one changes the customer's balance in the same way as yours.

A customer refund and a void of that refund are each sent to the shop's other computers as a record of their own. Each receiving computer makes the same change to the customer's balance. The money account and the expected cash in the till change there too, so the customer's figures match on each computer.

Other ways people ask this
  • refund a customer on one computer see balance on another
  • pos customer refund reaches other computers
  • customer credit refund shared between tills

One sale voided on two tills does not give the money back twice

Professional only

What happens if the same sale is voided on two tills? A second copy of the same sale, return or payment is refused, so the money is not reversed twice. The refusal is listed on Setup > Network.

Without it

The same sale gets voided on two tills. Without a check, the money goes back twice and the day's figures go wrong.

With it

The second copy is refused, so the money goes back only once. The refusal is listed on Setup > Network, so you can see it.

Two tills can each try to void the same sale, or to reverse the same return or payment. When the second copy reaches your other computers, SellyPOS refuses it and does not apply it again. The first copy stands, and the money is only reversed once. Every refusal is listed on Setup > Network, so you can see what was turned away.

Other ways people ask this
  • stop a sale being refunded twice on two tills
  • software that stops double refunds across computers
  • same sale voided on two computers in my shop
