POS terminals overview
Goal
Understand registers (terminals): each binds a warehouse, cash account, payment methods, and device policy for frontline sales.
Who it is for
Managers configuring stores (pos.manage_terminals) and clerks viewing the list (pos.view).
How terminals fit POS
- Create an active terminal with code, name, warehouse, and cash account.
- Optionally set branch, walk-in customer, register type (
standard/mobile/self_checkout/kiosk), receipt paper size, device binding, and allowed payment methods. - Cashiers select the terminal in the POS app; sessions and sales hang off that terminal.
- Inactive terminals cannot sell (
terminal_inactive).
