The invoice table shows the invoice number, customer, date, subtotal, tax, net total, payment status, and the actions currently available for that record.

Adding a payment directly from an invoice settles its full outstanding balance. To record a partial payment, open the relevant customer record and add the payment there.

At checkout, choose Single fund to send the full payment to one cash or bank fund. Choose Split payment when the customer is paying through more than one fund, then assign the appropriate amount to each one.

Once the sale is completed, Noon POS records the transaction and automatically prints the receipt when a printer is connected and configured.

  • Use Daily Invoices to review sales completed during the current day.
  • Connect a supported scale when selling products by weight, search for products by name, or refresh the product list when needed.
  • Open Customer Display to give the customer a separate view of the current cart, or use the account control to sign out securely.
  • Add products to the cart, adjust quantities, select a customer when required, or clear the cart to begin again.
