How to run DailyCartPOS from product setup to reports

A practical operating guide for setting up catalog data, receiving stock, selling in POS, closing shifts, managing purchases, and reading reports.

Step 01

Create vendor, outlets, users, and plan

Start in SaaS admin. Create the vendor, assign a plan or trial, add outlets, and assign owner, manager, cashier, or staff access.

Step 02

Set up catalog masters

Create categories, subcategories, brands, units, taxes, and payment methods before adding products.

Step 03

Add products and prices

Add product names, SKU/barcodes, images, unit, brand, tax, cost, outlet sale price, and tax-inclusive selling price.

Step 04

Load opening stock

Use stock adjustment or purchase receiving to create stock levels with batch, quantity, cost, sale value, and expiry where needed.

Step 05

Sell in POS

Open a shift, scan or search products, add quantities to cart, hold orders, accept configured payment methods, print receipt, and complete checkout.

Step 06

Close shift and cash out

Enter counted cash, review payment totals, confirm variance, add notes, and print the shift/cash-out summary.

Step 07

Manage purchases and suppliers

Create purchase orders, receive stock, print POs, record supplier payments, track item credit, and process purchase returns.

Step 08

Control inventory health

Review live inventory, low stock, stock movements, stock transfers, adjustments, stock valuation, and product expiry.

Step 09

Read reports

Use dashboards and reports for sales, purchases, invoices, tax, income, profit and loss, expenses, supplier due, best sellers, leave, and inventory.

Recommended first-day checklist

Create at least one outlet and one cashier.

Add categories, units, brands, taxes, and payment methods.

Import or create products with barcode and selling price.

Load opening stock and verify quantities in POS.

Run one test sale and print a receipt.

Close the shift and compare sales, payments, and inventory movement.
