+Point of Sale
+=============
+
+You can manage your retail business and its account transactions using point_of_sale module. 
+
+  *This module provides fast and easy way to manage sales orders. The primary function of point-of-sale is to make transactions easy to manage without sacrificing quick, efficient service or customer data. There are different ways of making payments and to split them between different payment modes. Computation of amount of money and creation and confirmation of the pickings are done automatically.*
+
+
+You can click on *Install* button given below the Point of Sales on the home page to install this module:

+
+The point of sale provides maximum efficiency, with all retail transactions conducted. Since the point-of-sale application is parameter-driven, you determine what, if any, information, you must enter to begin an order. For most businesses with a point-of-sale operation, a cash sale is the most common type of transaction. Depending on the way you set up your parameters, the Cash Sale Customer will be displayed and the paycode will default to cash.
+
+Daily sales of products, picking and delivery of the products and invoicing are the main features that is provided by this module. In and out of the cash is being maintained using Cash Registers. Each cash register is created based on the Cash / Bank Journals so it will make easier to create journal entries and thus we can keep track of all accounting entries in appropriate accounts.
+
+
+Generate Sale Orders

+
+For any retail business, the process flow of point of sale starts by making the sales orders. To start point of sale touchscreen application you can click on *Point of Sale ‣ Start Point of Sale*. It will open the following screen:

+There are three steps to make a complete sale order:
