Situation described 1 Situation described This is a common situation in some businesses where not all cash registers are equipped with electronic payment terminals (EPTs). - **Register A**: the only one equipped with an EPT. - **Cashier B**: uses the EPT from register A, but manually writes "EPT" on the duplicate printed receipt. - **Cashier C**: gives the original receipt to the customer. - **End of day**: the cashiers group the receipts. This can distort the accounting in Odoo 9 if something is mishandled. 2 Impact on Odoo 9 accounting Odoo 9 manages accounting by journal and by payment method. Here are the points to monitor: - **Payment journal**: If EPT payments are not recorded in the correct journal (for example, if register B records the payment as "cash" instead of "EPT"), this distorts the reports. - **Cash Receipt Tracking**: Simply writing "POS" by hand is not enough for the Odoo system to recognize the payment as electronic. - **Bank Reconciliation**: If POS payments are not correctly recorded in Odoo, reconciliation with bank statements will be difficult. - **Duplicates or Errors**: If several cashiers use the same POS terminal without coordination in Odoo, this can create duplicates or discrepancies. 3 Recommendations - **Create a single POS log** in Odoo and use it for all sales made through the terminal. - **Train cashiers** to correctly select the payment method in Odoo, even if they are using a shared POS terminal. - **Use internal notes or custom fields** to indicate that the payment was made via the POS terminal at register A. - **Perform a cross-check at the end of the day** between physical receipts and the records in Odoo.
