How to Use the Point of Sale (POS)

What is the Kontafico POS

The POS runs in modern browsers to record internal sales. Confirm availability and limits in your plan and test the device before operating a live register.

The POS can record internal sales, terminals, and cash shifts. It does not issue official DGT documents in the current offer.

Setting up your first terminal

Go to POS → Terminals and create a new terminal with a name, description, and assigned price list. You can have separate terminals per branch, floor, or cashier.

The terminal settings also let you define the default document type (receipt or invoice), the printer, and the opening cash amount.

• •Terminal name (e.g., Register 1, North Branch)
• •Assigned price list (public, wholesale, VIP)
• •Default document type
• •Configured printer

Opening a shift

Before selling, you must open a cash shift. Select your terminal, enter the opening cash (opening count), and confirm. The system records the time, cashier, and opening amount.

You can have multiple active shifts simultaneously if you operate multiple terminals in parallel.

Making a sale

On the sales screen, search by name or use a USB scanner that behaves like a keyboard. Camera scanning is not integrated in the current flow.

You can select a customer from the catalog or use "Walk-in customer" for anonymous sales. You can also apply discounts per line or on the total.

Multi-tender payments (cash, card, SINPE)

Kontafico can record a split payment across cash, card, SINPE Móvil, and bank transfer within the same internal sale. The actual collection happens outside Kontafico with your own payment tools.

When you enter cash received, the system calculates the change due. Each method is recorded in the shift for the closing count.

• •Cash with automatic change calculation
• •Credit/debit card
• •SINPE Móvil
• •Bank transfer

Recording the sale and issuing separately

At checkout, record the sale and payment method for internal control.

That record is not an official fiscal receipt. Issue the required document with your fiscal provider and verify any inventory movement.

Closing a shift and cash count

When closing the shift you enter the cash counted in the drawer. Kontafico compares the expected cash (opening + cash sales) with the counted amount and shows the difference.

The Z Report summarizes the closing for internal control. Printing depends on browser or printer configuration; it is not a fiscal document.
