What is the Orders feature?

Ordering, also known as over-the-counter sales, is a sales system in which payment is made after products are launched. This method is widely used in stores that work with over-the-counter sales (such as pharmacies and construction material stores) and payment is made at the cashier at the end. Every product launched in the order will be reserved in stock, awaiting payment completion to have stock written off and money to be entered into the Nex cashier.

It is a two-step selling process in which the sale is put on hold temporarily. This feature is commonly used in two major scenarios:

  • When an order is taken and then sent to another terminal for payment. e.g Cashier, Register, Front Desk, etc.
  • When the order is sent to another department. e.g. Kitchen, Warehouse, Inventory Room, etc.
