Sales & Point of Sale

A saree sale is rarely one scan and a card swipe. A customer is walked through three floors, forty pieces are pulled into a selection, six are held, two are altered, an advance is taken, and the invoice is raised days later. ambar 27 models that whole arc — and posts stock, tax, cash and incentive the moment it closes.

12Sale document types, from proforma to multi-invoice credit notes
4Discount controls: codes, coupons, groups and a planner
B2B + B2CBoth billing modes with separate HSN registers
Real-timeStock, ledger and incentive posted in the same transaction

Counters, floors and channels

Large showrooms are not one till. ambar 27 organises billing by floor, counter and channel, so a piece sold on the second floor is attributed to that floor manager, that counter and that salesperson — and settles into that counter’s cash bag at close of day.

  • Floor and floor-manager masters, with counter masters underneath
  • Channel scoping so a user only ever sees their own store’s data
  • Counter settlements and cashier balance at close of day
  • Close-day with a full history of who closed what, and when
  • Live channel updates so managers see counter numbers without refreshing

Selections — the way textile actually sells

A selection is a working basket: pieces pulled for a customer, printed on a selection slip, held while they decide. Open selections show what is off the floor and with whom. Closed selections convert to a sale or return the pieces to stock without a manual adjustment.

  • New selection against a customer, with a printed or thermal selection slip
  • Open, closed and searchable selection registers
  • Pieces held in a selection are visible in stock enquiry, not silently missing
  • Convert to sale, part-convert, or release back to the floor
  • Custom orders tracked separately, with open and closed states

Invoicing, returns and credit notes that reconcile

Sales, sale returns, old-sale returns, quick returns and manual returns each have their own document and their own register — because they carry different tax and stock consequences. Multi-invoice credit and debit notes handle the cases a single-invoice reference cannot.

  • B2B and B2C sale flows, with separate B2B sale and B2B return HSN registers
  • Returns against the original invoice, plus old-sale, quick and manual return paths
  • Multi-invoice credit notes and debit notes
  • Proforma sales that convert to a live invoice without re-keying
  • Void and voided-sales registers so cancellations stay visible to audit
  • Draft sales with open, converted and all-drafts views

Money at the counter: advances, gift cards and card machines

Bridal and custom orders run on advances. Festival trade runs on gift cards and vouchers. Both need to sit on the customer ledger and be redeemable against a future invoice — not tracked in a notebook and honoured on trust.

  • Sale advances with advance requests, outstanding register and printed receipts
  • Gift cards and gift vouchers, issued and redeemed against the ledger
  • Credit sales, credit payments and credit-invoice-wise collection views
  • Card machine masters with settlement matching against bank credits
  • Payment receipts printed or sent on WhatsApp
  • Razorpay collection for remote and balance payments

Discount discipline and salesperson incentives

Uncontrolled counter discounting is the quietest margin leak in textile retail. ambar 27 gives discounting a structure — codes, coupons, groups and a planner — and then reports on it: sales by discount, discount sales register, and margin after discount.

  • Discount codes, discount coupons and discount groups by category or customer
  • A discount planner so approved ceilings exist before the counter negotiates
  • Salesperson master, with sales attributed per invoice line
  • Commission templates and commission-employee mapping
  • Incentive codes, incentive statements and incentive reports per person
  • Sales without salesperson flagged as its own report, so nothing goes unattributed

Printing built for a shop floor

Every document a counter needs has a template: A4 GST invoice, thermal invoice, credit slip, advance receipt, selection slip, packing label and barcode. Direct printing through QZ Tray means no browser print dialog between the customer and the door.

  • Print templates for invoice, credit, payment, advance, refund, giftcard and selection
  • Dedicated thermal templates for fast counter printing
  • Packing labels and barcode label reprint
  • Configurable print names and per-document template selection in settings
  • Signed e-invoice QR printed on the invoice itself

Questions

Sales & Point of Sale, specifically

Can a sale be split across multiple tenders?

Yes. A single invoice can be settled across cash, card, UPI, cheque, advance adjustment and gift card in any combination, and each tender lands in its own settlement and reconciliation flow.

How are returns handled after the GST return is filed?

Returns raise a credit note against the original invoice, which flows into the next period’s GSTR-1 as a credit note rather than editing a filed invoice. Old-sale returns cover pieces sold before go-live.

Can we stop counters from discounting beyond a limit?

Discount groups and the discount planner set the ceiling by category, customer group or code. Anything beyond it needs a user with the permission to override, and the override is logged.

Does a selection block the stock?

Pieces in an open selection remain visible in stock enquiry, marked as held against that selection and customer, so a second counter does not promise the same piece.
