Receipts, void & refund

You can find a receipt that has already been paid, reprint a copy of it, and — if necessary — void or refund it. The void and the refund create traced correction transactions, linked to the original receipt, and may require the approval of a manager.

Detailed manuals and practical procedures for all eight activities. Available functions depend on your installation’s profile, modules and permissions.

In brief

You can find a receipt that has already been paid, reprint a copy of it, and — if necessary — void or refund it. The void and the refund create traced correction transactions, linked to the original receipt, and may require the approval of a manager.

Who / when

For the Cashier, in case of a complaint, an error, or a request for a copy of a receipt.

Requirements

🔑 Void a transaction / Perform a refund (often subject to approval for the Cashier role)

Step-by-step

Find a receipt

  1. Tap the Receipt search widget.

  2. The search screen opens, limited to the current session:

    • Filter by payment method (All / Cash / Card / Online).

    • Or search by transaction number / ID.

  3. Tap a receipt to see its details:

    The details show the date, the payment method, the order type, the cashier, the items, the VAT and the total, with the available actions: Print copy, Void and/or Refund.

Reprint a copy

In the receipt details, tap Print copy: a copy of the receipt is printed.

Void a receipt

  1. In the receipt details, tap Void.

  2. Choose a standard reason or enter a specific reason.

  3. Confirm the operation. A Manager/Admin authorization may be requested depending on your role.

The void never deletes the original receipt: it creates a correction receipt linked to the original receipt. The original receipt remains viewable and marked VOIDED.

Refund a receipt

  1. In the receipt details, tap Refund.

  2. Confirm the amount to refund and choose a reason:

    Reasons offered: Product returned by the customer, Non-compliant product, Missing product, Error in amount charged, Duplicate payment, Dissatisfied customer, Order cancelled before preparation, Manager goodwill gesture, Other reason.

  3. Tap Refund.

Authorization (Cashier role)

A refund by a Cashier requires an approval:

"Refunds require an approval for the CASHIER role." A Manager or Admin enters their PIN to validate.

Result

Once validated:

  • A supporting receipt is printed ("Refund recorded").

  • A new refund transaction is created (e.g. TRX-120199, negative amount, REFUND badge), linked to the original receipt (e.g. TRX-120198, now marked REFUNDED).

  • The correction receipts indicate the original receipt concerned. On the item lines, the prices remain readable normally; the direction of the correction is carried by the receipt type and its total.

Messages & edge cases

  • The search is limited to the current session: a receipt from a previous session does not appear there (it belongs to a past Z closure).

  • The void or the refund does not delete the original receipt: the operation creates a linked correction — this is fiscal compliance (nothing is erased).

  • Voided receipts, refunded receipts, void receipts and refund receipts are flagged with badges in the receipt search and the reports.

Tips

  • Always indicate a specific reason: it feeds the tracking and explains the cash discrepancy.

  • For a simple duplicate request, use Print copy rather than a refund.
