The Automatic Service Charge SME introduces a fully automated mechanism within the POS system to apply a configurable service charge percentage on all eligible transactions. This service charge is added as a separate line item on the POS order and is dynamically recalculated whenever items are added, removed, or modified.
The calculation logic can be configured to apply on either pre-discount or post-discount subtotals, ensuring flexibility based on business requirements. The feature eliminates manual errors by removing the need for cashiers to input service charges, thereby enforcing consistency across all transactions.
From an accounting perspective, the service charge is linked to a dedicated revenue account, ensuring accurate financial tracking and reporting. The charge is clearly displayed on customer receipts, improving transparency and compliance with operational standards.
This SME enhances operational efficiency, standardizes billing practices, and provides a scalable solution applicable to restaurants, hospitality businesses, and service-oriented environments using POS.
This feature enables automatic application of a predefined service charge (e.g., 10%) on POS orders without manual intervention. The service charge is dynamically calculated based on the order subtotal and updated in real time as order lines change. It ensures accurate billing, consistent application of service fees, and seamless integration with accounting and receipt generation.
