  • Use the numeric keypad to manually enter the item number or GTIN.
  • Confirm by pressing Item.

    If the entry is correct, the corresponding item will be listed in the receipt preview. Otherwise, a message appears indicating that the entered item number was not found.

Scanning items by barcode

  • Place the items within the RFID reader area and press RFID Bulk Item Registration.

    Tags are read and synchronized with the items already scanned.

    New items are added to the receipt automatically and are listed in the preview. Any errors during synchronization are listed at the end of the scan process as information for the operator.

  • The scanned RFID items are marked as "RFID Article" in the Transaction Preview.

Scanning items by RFID reader

Note:
Note that RFID tags identify and track single items. The POS system will prevent the change of quantity of such a position.

If an RFID reader is not available (e.g. during registration with MPOS), the items can be registered via the 2D barcode (EPC).

Item Entry via PLU

A PLU number can be assigned to each item.

  • Use the numeric keypad to enter the PLU number in the input field.
  • Confirm by pressing Item.

    The item will be entered.

Note:
It is also possible to enter an item by simply pressing a shortcut button.

Item Entry via Dynamic Item Tableaus

Dynamic tableaus display an item image, a PLU number, the item price and an item text in a grid layout.

Further configuration options are available, (e.g. switching from grid size 6x3 to grid size 8x4).

Dynamic Item Tableaus

  • Tap the item to select it.

Item Search

  • Tap the search input field to search for an item. An on-screen keyboard pops up.
  • Enter the first letters of the item name. Matching items are displayed.
  • Tap the item button to select the item.

Entering weight items

Not Supported: MPOS Size S MPOS Size M ONEX Stationary POS

If a scale is connected, weight items can be weighed.
  • To do so, enter the weight item.

    You will be prompted to weigh the item.

  • Place the item on the scale plate.

    The weight is determined and the item entered.

Package Selection

If more than one package is assigned to an item (e.g. bottle, crate), you can select the package during item entry.
  • Press the corresponding button and enter the desired item.

    A list of the available packages is displayed to you

  • Confirm your selection with OK.

Quantity Entry

Each line item contains a quantity. Due to the characteristics of certain items (bulk items, dimensional and weight items), it may be necessary to enter values related to dimensions or weight in addition to the quantity.

You are prompted to do so directly after entering the item number or GTIN. Each line item takes the quantity "1" by default.

A different quantity can be allocated to the line item. This is possible by manually entering the quantity, dimensions or weight, or a combination of these.

If the quantity to be entered is >1, proceed as described below.

Note:
For MPOS Size S, keep in mind that some functions are only available after using the corresponding gesture (i.e. swiping) and that the number pad of your mobile device is only displayed when it is actually needed.
