Multiple Sales in Parallel

Sarah's POS allows you to work with multiple sales open in parallel, each in its own tab.
This is especially useful in businesses with high turnover or when more than one customer takes time to decide.

How do sale tabs work?

• Each tab represents an ongoing sale.
• You can switch from one tab to another without losing loaded products.
• The system preserves:
  • Products in cart.
  • Selected customer (if any).
  • Applied discounts and promotions.

Create a new sale

1. From the main POS screen, click "New sale" (or the equivalent button in your interface).
2. A new empty tab will open.
3. Start loading products and follow the usual collection flow.

You can repeat this process to open as many simultaneous sales as your operation requires.

Switch between open sales

• Click on the corresponding tab to switch sales.
• You'll immediately see the cart and information for that operation.

This allows you, for example, to:

• Pause a sale while the customer goes to get an additional product.
• Serve another quick customer without losing the previous one's context.

Close a sale

When you complete collection:

1. The sale is marked as completed.
2. The tab closes automatically (or remains available for a new sale, according to configuration).
3. Stock and cash register are updated accordingly.

Operational recommendations

• Avoid leaving tabs open for long periods unnecessarily to maintain operational control.
• Ensure each user knows how to correctly identify the tab of the customer they're serving.
• Use names or quick references (when the interface allows) to distinguish special sales.
