POS Module

Documentation for point-of-sale operations, terminals, transactions, cash sessions, and retail workflows.

Exact functionalities

Terminal management, cashier sessions, cart synchronization, receipt finalization, returns, reservations, transfer requests, and fraud-alert review. Supports idempotent payment finalization and session-bound checkout behavior.

  • Retail terminal workflows
  • Session and cashier management
  • Fast transaction entry
  • Discount and pricing support
  • Receipt and checkout flow

Workflow blueprint

Workflow 1: open session -> maintain active cart -> complete receipt -> close session with cash reconciliation. Workflow 2: create reservation -> optional transfer planning -> release or fulfill. Workflow 3: create return -> stock intake movement -> fraud risk scoring -> manager review.

  1. open session -> maintain active cart -> complete receipt -> close session with cash reconciliation
  2. create reservation -> optional transfer planning -> release or fulfill
  3. create return -> stock intake movement -> fraud risk scoring -> manager review

Data model and records

Core records include POSTerminal, POSSession, POSCart, POSPaymentTransaction, POSReceipt, POSReturn, POSReservation, and POSFraudAlert. Payment and return records must link to receipt context and actor metadata.

  • POSTerminal
  • POSSession
  • POSCart
  • POSPaymentTransaction
  • POSReceipt
  • POSReturn
  • POSReservation
  • and POSFraudAlert. Payment and return records must link to receipt context and actor metadata

Controls and business rules

Receipts require balanced payment totals; closed sessions cannot accept new carts; reservation quantities must be positive; terminal WMS mapping is required for stock movements. Fraud review states should be auditable and role-restricted.

Define explicit and valid status transitions for POS

Require mandatory fields before high-impact actions

Block unauthorized overrides without approval evidence

Preserve immutable audit history on critical events

Apply idempotency and duplicate protection on write paths

Integrations

Strong integration with WMS operations for stock movement and reservations, Inventory for product availability, Payments provider status, and Accounting for daily settlement and reconciliation.

  • Strong integration with WMS operations for stock movement and reservations
  • Inventory for product availability
  • Payments provider status
  • and Accounting for daily settlement and reconciliation

KPIs and reports

Sales per terminal and session, average basket, refund ratio, cash difference at close, reservation fulfillment rate, and fraud-alert resolution time.

  • Sales per terminal and session
  • average basket
  • refund ratio
  • cash difference at close
  • reservation fulfillment rate
  • and fraud-alert resolution time

Failure modes and safeguards

  • Missing required data at transaction entry
  • Unauthorized status transition attempts
  • Cross-module reference mismatch after updates
  • Duplicate mutation attempts from retries
  • Delayed downstream synchronization and stale dashboards

Implementation and rollout plan

  1. Define owner, scope, and process objective
  2. Configure lifecycle, permissions, and defaults
  3. Run pilot workflows including edge cases
  4. Validate KPI outputs and integration behavior
  5. Train users and publish SOP guidance
  6. Execute staged go-live with checkpoint review
