These following topics will go over the basic user interface such as the Login Screen and the Main Register Screen.
Login Screen
This is the Login screen for the BestPOS Register Program. The header will clearly display "Cash Register Mode" when opening the register program and not the Administration program.
Select the user to log in with and enter the user password. Click "Login" to log into the BestPOS Register program.
Quick Support button will open the support tool we use to remote into your computer to assist with issues you may have.
Main Register Screen
The BestPOS Register program is broken down into five distinct sections, and twenty more specific locations.
The GREEN tinted section displays information about the program (Windows Taskbar) like the version, cash register number and the user logged in.
This field is used to display the Customer's name upon entry.
This field is used to display the Sales Representative upon entry.
These four fields display the current date and time, the QS (QuickSupport) shortcut, and the Help menu.
The BLUE tinted section is host to the primary add/modify functions of the current transaction.
The Delete button functions to remove items from the transaction listing.
The Repeat button repeats the last item/price combination.
The Discount % button allows for discounting items based on percentage.
The Discount $ button allows for discounting items based on dollar amount.
The Item SKU field is used for entry/scanning of items to be sold.
The transaction screen lists line by line all items entered/scanned to be sold.
The RED tinted section holds the item shortcut buttons.
This is the item shortcut grid. It can be modified by using the Administration program's Setup Item Shortcut Buttons, and pages can be scrolled through with the Left/Right arrows at the bottom.
The WHITE tinted section displays information about the transaction, tender methods and a couple additional functions.
This is the Discount/Coupon/Food Stamp/FSA Eligibility chart. Dollar amounts display in the appropriate lines if select items are eligible for the listed tender methods.
This is the Item Count box. The number will display exactly how many items belong to this transaction.
This is the Sub Total display box. It gives a breakdown of the transaction and lists the amount due at the bottom.
This is the Tender (F12) button. It displays all available tender options for the transaction.
This is the Age Check button. It allows for a quick and easy age calculation based on date.
This is the Calculator button. It brings up a simple calculator for your convenience if needed.
This is the Cash Tender button row. The yellow buttons are static, and they allow the user to press the appropriate bill they have received; the register then calculates amount due/change amount. The green buttons automatically change based on closest bill/amount to amount due, ie. $16.77 would display $17, $20, $50. The Exact Cash button is used when exact cash is given, and no change is due.
This is the Exit button, it exits the register program. Any batches that are open on the register stay open even when the program is closed. To close a batch, refer to the Closing for the day article.
The YELLOW tinted section is host to the various BestPOS function buttons. The pages can be flipped with the arrows on the bottom right.
