POS Shop in Odoo Sales

The Point of Sale (POS) module in Odoo allows businesses to efficiently manage in-store transactions. It is fully integrated with the Sales, Inventory, Accounting, and CRM modules, ensuring smooth operations across multiple sales channels.

Key Features of Odoo POS in Sales

Seamless Integration with Sales & CRM

• POS sales automatically generate sales orders in Odoo, ensuring that in-store and online sales are recorded in a unified system.

• Customer information from POS transactions can be linked to the CRM module, helping sales teams track customer purchase history.

  
  

Real-time Inventory Synchronization

• When a sale is made in POS, stock levels automatically adjust in the Inventory module to prevent overselling.

• If stock runs out, Odoo can generate automated procurement requests or replenishment orders based on configured routes (Buy, Manufacture, etc.).

• Supports multi-location inventory, allowing stock tracking across different stores and warehouses.

  
  

Multiple Payment Methods & Invoicing

• Accepts cash, credit/debit cards, checks, bank transfers, mobile payments, and customer invoices.

• Payments are directly recorded in the Accounting module, updating revenue accounts and reconciling transactions.

• Allows customers to pay later by generating invoices directly from POS.

  
  

Discounts, Loyalty Programs & Pricelists

• POS supports custom discounts, promotions, and coupons.

• Businesses can configure loyalty programs where customers earn points on purchases.

• Sales pricelists allow for customer-specific pricing, promotions, and tiered pricing.

  
  

Customer Management & Sales Analytics

• Create and assign customers in the POS system to track purchase behavior.

• Sales reports can be generated based on daily, weekly, or monthly POS transactions.

• Tracks top-selling products, busiest sales periods, and sales per cashier or location.

  
  

Offline Mode & Multi-Store Support

• POS can function without an internet connection. Transactions are stored locally and synced with the Odoo database once online.

• Supports multiple POS shops within a single Odoo instance, each with independent settings, products, and users.
