Working with the Keypad

This How-To describes new functions and workflows that are only available in enforePOS 2. This version is exclusively available to customers participating in the enforePOS 2 Early Access program.

In this How-To, you will learn how to work with the keypad.

When you use the keypad to make an entry in the cash register, you always perform the action for the next sales item that you add to the basket. Alternatively, you can use the keypad to edit sales items that are already in your basket.

You can find out which different display options are available for the keypad in the How-To Show Keypad.
