POS Recent Orders & Action Menu
In the POS, when searching for orders and viewing the recent orders list, each order has an action drop-down menu of available choices. The following options may be available, depending on the current state of the order:
-- Void (same date order was created only)
-- Return/Credit (paid order only)
-- Cancel
-- Print (receipt)
-- Pick Up
-- Edit
Note: You must be in the POS to void, credit or return an order.
Using the Recent Orders tool is the fastest way to see the 50 most recent orders placed in the POS.
