Great news! You can now set accrual dates for POS transactions, just like in the management console. This is especially handy when back-dating salaries or allocating minor expenses paid out from the cash register.

How to Use It?

When adding a transaction at the POS register:

1. Enable Accrual Date switch.
2. Set your preferred date and time.

The funds will be deducted instantly from your cash register account. However, the transaction will be logged in your Profit & Loss (P&L) report on the chosen accrual date.

Setting Up for POS Transactions:

Before you start, make sure to:

• Enable Display on the POS and Include in P&L for necessary categories under Finances → Categories in your management console.

Reminder: Ensure your location is linked to a cash account before initiating transactions at the POS register.

1. Go to your Poster POS register.
2. Tap ≡ → Devices at the top right.

2. Click ••• → Clear order.
3. Confirm clearing order.
4. That's about it!

2. Select a dish and click ••• → Retroactive editing
3. Choose a time frame to update ingredients in previous sales.

Rearrange how items and categories appear on your QR menu or website for online ordering.

• We've put together items and categories into a single Menu tab to make managing your QR menu or catalog for online orders easier.
• Drag and drop items or categories to change their sequence on the QR menu or website. Move items between or within categories. Create subcategories by dragging one category over another. Detach subcategories from their parent category by moving them away.

💡 To do this, go to Applications → Poster QR. Then, select the Menu tab. Hover over the item or category you want to move. Click and hold ::: to drag it wherever you need. Changes made will be reflected immediately on My Site, located at the top right.

• We've added quick search and filters, so you can find and sort needed items easily.

Poster QR now features two category levels: main and nested. When customers open the QR menu, they'll first see main categories. To explore nested subcategories, just tap the main category.

Categories like ’Cocktails' and 'Coffee' can be grouped under 'Drinks'. While 'Appetizers' and 'Pasta' placed under 'Food'. This makes it easier for guests to spot major categories and decide what they're in the mood for.

Check out how your menu looks on a smartphone and edit categories using our knowledge base guide.

💡 A two-level menu is available when there's at least one nested subcategory in your Poster QR → Menu tab.

We’re excited to announce two complementary features coming to Poster:

• P&L report
• Accrual date of the transactions.

What is P&L report?

This is a comprehensive overview of your profit and loss for a chosen time frame. The P&L report provides details on your revenue from sales and services, expenses from dish costs, discounts or transactions, and so on.

What is Accrual date?

For instance, let's say you owe rent for August. Even if you make the payment in the first week of September, this expense should be recorded in your August P&L report. Here accrual date comes at hand, allowing you to incorporate September transactions into your August P&L report.

🚧 P&L is currently in early access. We invite you to explore it and share your feedback. Kindly note that this feature is still being developed and improved, it may eventually be billed separately from your Poster subscription.
