Void a sale or give a refund

Correct a mistake or give money back. The original sale is never changed or deleted.

Updated 31 October 2026

Sales are never edited or deleted. A correction is a new document with its own receipt number, linked to the original.

Void a sale

  1. Open the receipt: on Transactions, choose View, or Void on its row.
  2. Under Corrections, choose Void this sale.
  3. Choose a Reason code and write the Explanation (stored on the audit trail).
  4. A supervisor approves under Supervisor authorisation.
  5. Choose Void sale and record reversal.

The original stays on file marked Voided, and the void document takes the next receipt number. For a cash sale, the till tells you how much to take out of the box. Reverse any card part on your card terminal.

Once the session is closed, a sale can no longer be voided: give a refund instead.

Give a refund

  1. Open the receipt and choose Refund…, or Refund on its row in Transactions.
  2. Set the Refund qty for each item. Set it to 0 for items not being refunded.
  3. Choose the Refund method: Cash from the lock box, Back to the original card, or Split: part cash, part card with the Cash portion (split only).
  4. Choose a Reason code, write the explanation, and have a supervisor approve.
  5. Choose Process refund.

The refund receipt opens. An item cannot be refunded more times than it was sold. Cash refunds come out of the box and show at the Z read; make any card refund on your card terminal.
