From counter sales to connected stock control.
Explore real SQL software screens in two practical processes: checkout with SQL X-Pos, and purchasing through SQL Account. Choose a workflow, then select any step.
Open the retail selling screen
Start a transaction on the SQL X-Pos checkout screen, where the cashier sees the product grid, current bill and running totals.
A consistent counter workflow keeps the sale visible before tender.
Search for a product
Scan a barcode, enter an item code or search the stock item list to add the correct product to the cart.
Product selection helps staff check item identity and quantities before charging.
Adjust an item discount
Check the item amount and apply an authorized discount, optionally entering a reason, before confirming the updated subtotal.
Discount review reduces billing errors and helps maintain control over adjustments.
Resume a held transaction
Save a bill temporarily when a customer is not ready, then find the held transaction in the Hold Bill List and return it to checkout.
Staff can serve the next customer without discarding an incomplete bill.
Search a completed transaction
Use Search Bill to locate an existing sale by invoice number, review its details and access permitted reprint, copy or void actions.
The searchable bill history supports follow-up and transaction checks.
Raise a purchasing request
Create an internal Purchase Request in SQL Account and record supplier, items and expected quantities for purchasing review.
This optional starting point documents the requirement before ordering.
Place the supplier order
Prepare a SQL Account Purchase Order with supplier details, required items, quantities and agreed unit costs.
A purchase order records the commitment; it does not itself confirm stock receipt.
Record stock arriving
Use Goods Received in SQL Account to record delivered products and their actual quantities, optionally transferring data from a Purchase Order.
The Goods Received Note documents incoming stock against purchasing records.
Enter the supplier invoice
Record the supplier Purchase Invoice and verify items, cost and supplier details; where appropriate, transfer information from Goods Received.
The invoice records supplier billing and supports the payable workflow.
Record an immediate purchase
Where items are paid for at purchase, use SQL Account Cash Purchase to record the products and payment information in one document.
This is an alternative immediate-payment path, not a required step after every Purchase Invoice.
The second workflow illustrates SQL Account purchasing screens, not the SQL POS terminal. Procurement steps and integration behaviour depend on modules, licensing and configuration. Images show documentation examples, and versions may differ.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about SQL POS, X-Pos checkout, stock synchronisation, membership, e-Invoicing and choosing the right configuration for your retail business.
What is SQL POS, and how is X-Pos different?
SQL POS is a retail point-of-sale solution designed for checkout, payment collection and connected stock/customer records. SQL X-Pos is a documented newer terminal experience with multiple checkout layouts and configurable controls. Your preferred setup depends on hardware, licensing, existing SQL Account deployment and cashier workflow.
Can SQL POS manage barcode scanning, discounts and payments?
SQL X-Pos checkout supports adding products by barcode or item code, adjusting quantities, selecting price/UOM and applying item discounts. Available payment methods are used to complete the sale. The checkout also includes held bills, bill search and receipt-related actions, subject to access and configuration.
How does SQL POS connect with SQL Account inventory?
SQL POS and X-Pos work with SQL Account data. In X-Pos, terminals first synchronise the company and POS setup, then use configured item and price information during sales. SQL Account provides broader stock management functions, while synchronisation and transaction posting depend on the configured integration method and connectivity.
Does SQL POS support member points and vouchers?
The documented legacy SQL POS membership module supports selecting members when issuing a bill and configured point capture, voucher use and point redemption. Point capture relies on the required sales posting workflow in SQL Account. Membership availability should be checked specifically for the SQL POS edition and configuration selected.
Can SQL POS sales be used for Malaysia e-Invoicing?
SQL Account includes a Malaysia MyInvois e-Invoice workflow for supported sales invoices and cash sales. POS transactions need to reach the correct SQL Account workflow and contain the required buyer and tax information before e-Invoice submission. MyInvois onboarding, document submission type and current LHDN rules must be considered.
How do I set up SQL POS and get support?
Begin by identifying your outlet count, counters, stock requirements, payment devices and any membership needs. Configure SQL Account and the suitable POS terminal, synchronise the required data, test real sale and return scenarios, then train cashiers and supervisors before go-live. A reseller or implementation partner can help validate the appropriate architecture.
