This software is a point of sale application and is able to create receipts for customers with all the checked out items.
jStock is a Point of Sale system specifically designed for retail outlets. It is a stock control system which can be used as a point of sale system integrated with a barcode scanner and receipt printer. Stock items can be categorized into categories and sub-categories. Details of your stock including product names, codes, descriptions, categories, sub-categories, quantities, re-order levels, cost prices, currencies, whole sale prices, export retail prices, profit margins, etc. can be tracked easily. The product details can also include product images. The software runs on a plain vanilla PC. The application is able to maintain your customer database too. A supplier database lets you keep track of your suppliers and the purchases you make from them.
Couple of nice features that adds flexibility to the system are the ability to create bundles and defining a transaction type. Bundle is a collection of items that is sold as a unit and has one price for the bundle. You can define how sale of a bundle will affect the stock of individual items. The system has transaction types cash sales, purchase transactions, order transactions, proformas and credit notes etc. Beside you are able to define a transaction of your own and how the stock will be affected by a transaction. At the close of business you can get a complete statement for VAT requirements. Similarly, you get various data when the current sale is made. If need be, data can be exported to Excel for more analysis. A handy tool if you are out to set up shop.
