Bill operations

The buttons below the totals, plus each line's menu, cover the common changes to a bill. Totals (subtotal, discount, tax, and grand total) update as you go.

Applying a discount

• Whole bill: a single discount applied to the entire receipt (see the steps below). It's capped at your role's maximum, and requires the POS Total Discount module and a configured discount product.
• One line: use Edit on the line and set a discount %. Clear it later with Remove discount in the line menu.

To apply a bill-wide discount:

1. Click Discount below the totals.
2. Toggle Percent (%) or Amount and type the value.
3. Add an optional comment (it labels the discount line).
4. Check the preview — it shows the deduction and the new total — then Save.

Splitting a bill

Click Split to move whole lines onto a new receipt — useful when guests want to pay separately.

1. Tick the lines to move.
2. Optionally name the new receipt.
3. Confirm. Gurita creates the second receipt (with its own receipt number and those lines) and leaves the rest on the original.

The dialog shows a running Split total for the ticked lines and a Remaining total for what stays.

Note: Split works on whole lines. At least one line must move and at least one must stay (the Split button needs a bill with two or more lines).

Moving a bill or items

You can move a whole bill to another table (Tables module only), or a single line to another open bill — prices convert automatically when the two receipts use different currencies.

To move a whole bill:

1. Click Table below the totals.
2. Pick the destination table from the area grid (the current table is highlighted and can't be picked). The bill moves at once.

To move one line to another open bill:

1. In the line's menu choose Move to bill….
2. Search the open receipts and tap the target to arm it (it highlights).
3. Click Confirm (or ✗ to abort). If there are no other open bills you'll see "No other open bills on this station".

Cancelling a bill and deleting an item

Both actions ask why, and the reason is kept in the receipt's audit trail.

• Cancel a receipt (has items): pick one of the listed reasons — Wrong entry, Guest cancelled, Entered twice, Test entry, Kitchen/bar error, or Other (see the steps below) — and the receipt is marked cancelled.
• Delete a line: choose Delete in the line menu and type a free-text reason.

To cancel a receipt:

1. Click the cancel icon in the receipt header.
2. Choose a reason from the list.
3. Click Cancel receipt (or Keep to back out).

Cancel receipt dialog

Note: An empty receipt (no items) is deleted outright with the trash icon — no reason needed.
