2
Basic Point of Sale Operation:
The main function of the POS screen is to allow for the sale of merchandise or services to
consumers. The implementation of Point of Sale within Visual Retail Plus consists of the following
basic steps to performing a transaction:
1.) Scan / Add Items: The items are scanned, manually keyed, or retrieved through
“Look”.
2.) Payment: The amount of the transaction is tallied and a method of payment is chosen
and entered.
Advanced Point of Sale Operation:
There is more to the VRP Pos than the basic operation detailed above. The advanced features
of VRP include tracking customers, the use of gift cards, store credits, multiple currency types,
customer orders, and a myriad of other features not directly related to the POS screen.
Advanced Operation:

Depending on the settings for your system, a customer may be required before any items are
scanned (Setup “Customer Required” option enabled) or a customer may be required only for certain
currency types. (Currency table, customer required checkbox).
In addition to the steps listed above (Adding items and then taking in currency) advanced
options include:
1.) Attach Customer: A customer is selected from the customers screen , or created and
then selected - and attached to the transaction. If the customer required option is enabled, the sales
reps will have to choose a customer from the list before they will be able to scan items into the sales.
2.) Scan / Add Items: Enter the items the customer is purchasing.
3.) Discounts / Gift Cards: Apply any discounts and apply gift card values if applicable.
