POS Batch Sales

A Batch Sale is a collection of Sale Lines (i.e. sales) that were made at your physical POS terminals. Our system processes these Sale Lines in bulk (usually grouped by date, in a CSV format), in order to decrement the Stock Items from the correct Stock Locations in PurchasePlus. 

Occasionally, a Batch Sale can't be processed successfully due to one or more errors - usually to do with POS Items. In this scenario, the Sale Line will be easily identifiable with an Error icon:
