The settings under Cash Register control how the Pos behaves during a sale — from sales flow and payments to security codes, display of the basket and screen layout. The settings apply to the cash register sale itself and affect the day-to-day operation of the Pos. ## How to find the settings 1\. Open the hamburger menu in the top left corner of Sapera and select **Financial**. 2. Go to **Setup** → **Settings** → **Point of Sales** → **Cash Register**. ## Sales flow These settings control what happens when a sale is started and completed. **Show start new sale dialog after sales complete:** Determines whether the "start new sale" dialog is shown automatically after each completed sale. The default is **Yes** — the dialog is shown after each sale. If set to **No**, the dialog is not shown. **Start new sale dialog timeout in seconds:** The number of seconds the dialog's countdown lasts before a new sale is started automatically. The field is empty by default, which means there is no automatic countdown — the Pos waits for the operator to start the next sale. **Force operator select on start sale screen:** Determines whether an operator must be selected every time a new sale is started. The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, an operator must be selected at each new sale, which is useful in stores with several employees on the same register. ## Receipt and printing **Print receipt by default:** Determines whether the receipt is printed automatically after a completed sale. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, the receipt is not printed automatically, and the operator decides whether to print. **Prefer print sales with serial-number items as invoice:** Determines the print format for sales that contain serial-number items (serial number items). The default is **No**, where the sale is printed as an ordinary receipt. If set to **Yes**, sales with serial-number items are printed as an invoice instead. ## Sales orders **Is fetch Sales Orders in "Draft" state allowed:** Determines whether sales orders in "Draft" state can be fetched into the Pos. The default is **No**, where only sales orders that are not drafts can be fetched. If set to **Yes**, draft orders can also be fetched. ## Payments These settings control the payment dialog and the payment buttons the operator sees. **Prefill Cash Payment:** Determines whether the cash amount is prefilled with the outstanding amount in the payment dialog. The default is **No**, where the amount is entered manually. If set to **Yes**, the field is prefilled automatically with the amount due. **Is multiple Automatic Payments allowed for Sale:** Determines whether several automatic payments can be made on the same sale, for example several card payments. The default is **No** (only one automatic payment per sale). If set to **Yes**, the amount can be split across several automatic payments. **Show "All" payment options button:** Determines whether a button is shown that gives access to all payment options at once. The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, the "All" button is shown. **Show "More" button after payment buttons:** Determines whether a "More" button is shown after the payment buttons on the start sale screen. The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, the button is shown, giving access to additional payment options. ## Security codes These settings protect sensitive actions with a code. If the field is empty, no code is required for the action. **Open Cash Drawer security code (optional):** Optional code that must be entered to open the cash drawer without a sale. The field is empty by default, which means no code is required. **Negative card payment security code (optional):** Code that must be entered before a negative card payment (returning an amount to a card) can be made. The field is empty by default (no code required). This setting can only be changed by an administrator. **Cancel latest card transaction security code:** Code that must be entered to cancel the latest card transaction. The field is empty by default (no code required). This setting can only be changed by an administrator. **Is signed transactions required:** Requires the cash register to support digitally signed transactions (signing certificate). The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, sales cannot be created on cash registers that do not support signed transactions. This setting can only be changed by an administrator. ## Basket and product selection These settings control how items are displayed and added in the basket. **Show Product Identifier in Basket:** Determines whether the item number is shown in the basket. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, only the item text is shown. **Select Product Variant on product dashboard:** Determines the behavior when a product with variants is selected on the product dashboard. The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, the variant selection opens directly when the product is selected. **Configure supplements on add to basket:** Determines the behavior when a product with supplements is added to the basket. The default is **Yes**, where the supplement configuration opens automatically. If set to **No**, supplements are not configured automatically. **Skip sale item display name on tab navigation:** Determines whether the item text field is skipped when navigating between the sale line's fields with the Tab key. The default is **Yes**, which makes entry faster. If set to **No**, all fields are visited during Tab navigation. ## Stock **Product Location Out Of Stock Selection Kind:** Determines how an alternative stock location is selected when the item is out of stock at the current location. The default is **Use current Organizational Unit default**, where the organizational unit's default setup is used. If **Select automatically** is chosen, Sapera selects an alternative location itself. If **Ask user** is chosen, the operator is asked which location to use. ## Profit **Check sale items with negative profit:** Determines whether the Pos checks for and warns about sale lines with negative profit. The default is **No** (no check). If set to **Yes**, the Pos warns when a sale line is sold with negative profit. **Show Sale Profit Info:** Determines whether profit information for the sale is shown on the Pos screen. The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, the profit for the sale is shown. ## Amount display **Always show rounded amount in sale header:** Determines whether the rounded total amount is always shown in the sale header. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, the rounded amount is not always shown. ## Serial-number items (serial number items) **Is Customer required on sale or return of serial-number item:** Determines whether a customer must be associated when selling or returning a serial-number item (serial number item). The default is **No**. If set to **Yes**, a customer is required when selling or returning serial-number items. **Is returning serial-number item supported:** Determines whether serial-number items (serial number items) can be returned in the Pos. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, returning serial-number items is disabled. **Is purchasing serial-number item with used vat supported:** Determines whether serial-number items can be purchased with used-goods VAT in the Pos. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, purchasing with used-goods VAT is disabled. ## Exchange labels and screen layout **Check all items on Exchange Label creation:** Determines whether all items are selected automatically when an exchange label is created. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, the operator selects the items to receive an exchange label. **Show cash register context buttons:** Determines whether the context buttons are shown on the Pos screen. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, the context buttons are hidden. **Show "Public Note" and "Internal Note" tabs:** Determines whether the "Public Note" and "Internal Note" tabs are shown on the sale dashboard. The default is **Yes**. If set to **No**, the tabs are hidden. **Show touch input box near user's tap:** Determines the placement of the input box on touch screens. The default is **No**, where the input box is shown in the default position. If set to **Yes**, the input box is shown near the user's tap — handy on large touch screens. ### Pay several invoices at once From the payment window in the POS you can select and pay several invoices at once – not just one at a time. You add the invoices the customer is paying and settle them together in the same transaction. ## Include related invoices with the sale When a sale is completed or emailed, the invoices linked to the sale can now be printed and attached as PDF. A setting controls whether the related invoices are included by default, and each invoice can be toggled on or off directly in the sale. * * * **Want to know more?** Read more in these related articles: [ Point of Sales Overview of the settings categories under Point of Sales in Sapera ](https://support.sapera.io/en/articles/427.md)[ Day-end closing Walkthrough of the day-end closing's list view and edit view in the Pos app: columns, actions, fields, states, error scenarios and permission requirements. ](https://support.sapera.io/en/articles/48.md)
