How To: Reprint bills

Sometimes a POS bill might fail to print properly which could be the result of printer issues like ink failure, paper got stuck to the printer etc. Other than printer issues, the customer too might want a reprint of the bill as he might have lost his bill or it was torn while taking the print out etc. Such incidents might result in a situation where you need to reprint the bill. This article describes how to reprint POS bills.

Pre-requisites

1. The users' role must have access to the Reprint feature by enabling the app operation for the feature in Admin - Security - Roles - Normal POS.
   
   

2. You can reprint bills up to the number of days decided by HO.
   

   You can check the number of days for which reprinting of bills is allowed in the following path: Admin - Policy - Master Policy - User Settings. In the User Settings section, look for Allow backdated reprints for POS bills up to (in Days) option. Reprinting bills beyond the specified number of days from current date is not possible.

   
   

3. The system must be connected to a printer.
