Setup the Mini POS (Desktop) 🎥
Before setting up the revenue centers in the
Mini POS, you need to create accounts for those centers and for each
items that you will sold. The Mini POS pre-setup is made of 2 creation
steps: the house account(s) and the accounting codes.
Create House Account(s) for the Revenue Centers
The
POS uses House Accounts in Visual Matrix for the Revenue Centers. This
means that the tickets need to be closed out before an Audit can be run.
The House Accounts need to be created in VM before setting up the
Revenue Centers.
Path: Management > Setup > Rooms > House Accounts.
You need to create a Guest Ledger House Account for each Revenue Center you will create in the POS.
1. In the GL House Account side on the left, go to the last line.
2. Enter a House Acct Code and Description.
Create Accounting Codes
Each Item you will sell within the Mini POS needs to have an accounting code created first.
Path: Management > Setup > Accounting > Setup Code.
If you intend to create a Restaurant type Revenue Center, make sure you also create a Tip Accounting Code.
The Visual Matrix POS will let you two types of Revenue Centers: a Retail type for a Gift or Sundry shop and a Restaurant type if
you have a small restaurant. Next step will depend if you are looking to create a Gift/Sundry type of Revenue Center or a Restaurant type of Revenue Center.
