Cart view

After a successful pairing process the cashier can see the main working view. Here the cashier can work with the cart, add items, remove items, apply and remove discounts any pay the cart. This view is split in three parts. On the left side there is the cart, which displays the current items from the cart, informations about discounts, payments and sum of the cart. The right side is again split into two parts. On the bottom is a numpad, to enter number based input manually without the hand scanner. On top the cashier will find a button group with different kind of options, based on the current state of the cart.

When empty, the cart is only showing a message, informing the user that the cart is empty. Once the cashier scans a valid product EAN or enters it manually with the numpad, the cart view is including a new row for this item. After the item is included, the cart is also displaying the cart sum, the amount, the customer has to pay, information about the VAT and a button to discard the whole cart. Each item gets his own row in the cart list, even if the item is already in the cart. The quantity is not increasing. For each new or removed item, the payment and sum information are updated. To apply a discount on the whole cart, the cashier can just tap on the header of the list, which will switch the button group on the right side to all available discounts of the current store. Discounts for the whole cart will be displayed per item, after it was applied.

If there was already some money on the card, the current balance will also be displayed here. Besides that the cashier can also see the min. and max. amount of this gift card.

If the entered amount is between min. and max. the cashier can submit his entry and the gift card will be placed in the cart. There it will have his own row in the cart list. It can be removed like any other item from the cart.

Refund

When refund is selected, the cashier has to provide a valid barcode of a receipt, again manually with the numpad or by scanning a barcode from a receipt. Directly scanning the barcode navigates to the same result.

Cashregister cart refund

After applying the selection, the selected items will be taken, and a new cart will be created with those items. This creates a refund cart with a negative sum.

The unknown product can be used to add items to the cart, which can not be identified, for example when the packaging is lost and the barcode of the shoe is accessible. For this case there are existing default SKUs for different kind of product categories. So far that case the cashier has to provide one of those SKUs and the price for the given item. After submitting the form, a pseudo item will be included into the cart and is treated the same way.

Zero receipt

If the cashier has to open the cash drawer, without any sellings or refunds, the process has to be protocolized. For this purpose cashregister uses zero receipts. The cashregister is requesting a zero receipt from the receipt-service which contains information about the store, station, cashier, date, etc. Very similar to a usual receipt. This zero receipt is now included in the cashbook and is proof, that the cash drawer was opened. The zero receipt gets printed, and the cashier has to note down the reason for the opening on the receipt.

Postal code survey

For market analysis, the cashier sometimes have to provide the postal code of the current customer. This option switches the cart view to a form with an input field for the postalcode. With the numpad the cashier can enter the postal code and submit it.

Once the postal code was submitted, it will be displayed below the cart header, with the possibility to remove it.
