Holding and Resuming Sale
The Hold Sale feature in Scantranx POS allows cashiers to temporarily pause an ongoing transaction and resume it later.
This is especially useful when a customer needs to retrieve an item, resolve a payment issue, or when the cashier must serve another customer quickly without canceling the current sale.
Hold a Sale:
-
Add items to the transaction list as you normally would during a sale.
-
Click the Hold Sale button on the top menu bar.
-
The current transaction will be saved temporarily, and the POS will clear the screen for the next transaction.
-
You can continue serving other customers or performing other POS functions.
Resume a Held Sale:
-
Click the Sales button on the top menu bar.
-
Navigate to the ON-HOLD section.
-
Select the held transaction from the list.
-
Click Resume Sale to reload the transaction onto the main POS screen.
-
Review the items and proceed to Checkout to complete the sale.
Tip:
Use Hold Sale instead of Cancel Sale to preserve all entered data, especially for large or complex orders.
Note:
Held transactions are automatically deleted at the end of the day’s closeout if not resumed or completed.
