Sales

One foundation for the counter and B2B.

Most systems bolt a point of sale onto an ERP, or the other way round, and end up with two sets of documents, two customer histories and two sets of books. In Five250 the counter is a fast front door to the same documents a B2B order uses.

Every door, one set of documents

Sell any way you like. Manage it once.

At the counterThe sale is its invoice, issued as the goods change hands, with the payments allocated in the same transaction.

On accountAn order is a promise: it reserves stock, waits as a backorder and ships when it can. Each shipment posts the same kind of invoice.

From a document or a storeA customer's PO read by AI, or an order from a web store, becomes an ordinary draft order.

One historyThe customer's page, the sales list and the journal show every channel together.

Point of sale

A till you can trust, from float to close.

Each drawer opens with a counted float, records every cash movement and is counted blind at the close. The difference posts to cash over and short, and the Z report never changes after that.

At the counter

Fast for the seller, exact for the books.

  • Scan and sell

    Scan or search items in at the location's channel price. A price change or discount needs a stated reason, recorded with the person who gave it.

  • Split payments

    Several cash and card lines. Change comes from cash only. Card on an external terminal keeps only an optional reference, never card numbers.

  • Register sessions

    Counted float, top-ups, cash to the safe or the bank, paid outs, a blind count at the close and an immutable Z report. A cash refund beyond the drawer is refused.

  • Returns

    Against the original sale, refunded to the original methods card first, with tax and rounding per line. Goods come back as available or unavailable.

  • Receipts and exempt resellers

    80 mm and email receipts. Tax-exempt resellers are honored at the counter with their certificates.

  • Store credit and exchanges

    Credit for a named customer, spent as a tender, and exchanges in one sale. Never a gift card, never paid out in cash at the till.

B2B

Orders that keep their promises.

  • Reservations and backorders

    Each confirmed line reserves the free stock it can. The rest waits as a backorder and is covered automatically when stock arrives, never taking another order's stock.

  • Credit warnings

    Credit limit and overdue invoices are checked at confirmation.

  • Amend, cancel, keep the price

    Change or cancel after confirmation. A line keeps its price once any of it has shipped.

  • Pickup or delivery

    Dispatched, delivered or failed delivery, with delivery charges and a deliver-to address. Invoice at handover, dispatch or delivery, and see every invoice before it posts.

  • Customer payments

    Allocate one payment across several invoices. A matching helper (plain code, not AI) proposes combinations that add up exactly. Overpayments stay on account, and two payments at once can never over-pay an invoice.

  • Credit notes, returns and refunds

    Credit balances, refunds and credit applied to later invoices, each linked to what it corrects.

  • Customer prices

    A customer's own list, a standing discount off their channel, or both, with dates and quantity breaks. Each line says where its price came from, for example Retail $49.99 less 20%.

  • Pricing tools

    Channels, versioned schedules that start in the future, a price grid, campaign prices, list copies with rounding, Excel import and export, a price check that explains any price, and prices from cost by markup or target margin.

  • Web store orders

    Shopify orders arrive as draft orders at the buyer's prices and shipping, and changes at the store update the draft.

    Receivables aging, customer statements and reminders, deposits, promotions, customer groups and a customer portal.
