Welcome to AlignBooks. We are happy to have you on board. In this help studio tutorial, we will explore the “POS Customer Opening” set up options.
Before we begin, let us understand about the need of POS Customer Opening and the usage of this particular activity.
When you are shifting your data from manual system or from any other software to Alignbooks, you will need to enter Opening Outstanding of POS Customer so that you can track payments and can generate Outstanding reports.
Therefore, in Opening Outstanding POS Customer we enter customer’s outstanding for each customer with all the available data at hand. This is a one-time process at the time of shifting data from a manual system or from other system and this library of data is extensively used to capture, generate and auto generate the required reports in a desired format.
You can also edit and delete an already created set of information with required authorization.
The key functions of a POS Customer Opening Module are:
-
Creation of bill wise outstanding details of a POS Customer;
-
Modification of an existing bill wise outstanding details of a POS Customer;
-
Deletion of an existing bill wise outstanding details of a POS Customer.
We will be going through the each of these set of information in detail.
