Jiwa Point of Sale – POS Form

In this article we look at the standard Jiwa POS form.

Overview

The Jiwa POS form has been designed as an alternative to the standard Jiwa sales order entry form. The new form is not a replacement for a fully integrated Point of Sale system but rather a simplified version of the sales order entry form that allows users to quickly process sales and take payment if required.

The POS form is not enabled by default and will need to be configured prior to use, your Jiwa Consultant will be able to provide assistance in this area.

Choosing between the Jiwa POS form and a fully integrated Point of Sale system will be dependent upon your point of sale requirements.
