Every sale at the till is at the same time a stock issue and an accounting entry. When the POS runs separately from inventory, shortages show up late, the stock count drifts from the books and hours are lost in reconciliation.
What happens with automatic linking?
- The item is deducted from the branch warehouse at the moment of sale.
- The sales and cost entries are created without manual work.
- Items that reach their reorder level appear in one report.
- Prices and promotions are updated across all branches from one place.
Simplified invoices from the till
Sales to end consumers are documented with a simplified tax invoice. According to ZATCA’s e-invoicing guidelines it must carry a QR code, and in the Integration Phase it is reported to the Fatoora platform within 24 hours of issuance. A POS linked to the system handles this automatically.
The effect on the sales cycle
When staff can see an item is available in another branch, they can transfer it instead of losing the customer. When managers see each branch’s sales in real time, they can adjust orders and promotions the same day.
Checklist before go-live
- Standardize item codes and barcodes before linking.
- Assign a warehouse to each point of sale.
- Prepare opening balances from a physical count.
- Train cashiers on returns and credit notes.
