How to make stock deductions at the POS?

During a sale, ingredients are deducted from stock automatically. But when you need to make a stock deduction for other reasons — expired products, breakage, spillage, or similar — you can do it manually at the POS register.

To enable stock deductions at the POS, connect the  Stock deductions app:

1. In the Poster management console, go to Applications → App Marketplace.
2. Select Stock deductions on the POS and click Connect.
3. Open Settings and choose who can make stock deductions at the POS: all employees, or only employees with floor admin access.
4. Click Save.

Once connected, a waiter or cashier with the selected access level can make stock deductions in the Poster app:

1. Open the Poster app.
2. Tap ≡ in the top right corner, then select Stock deductions under the Applications section.
3. Set the date and time of the stock deduction.
4. Select the storage location you want to deduct from.
5. Add a reason for the stock deduction.
   ☝️ You can add new reasons or edit existing ones in the management console. Go to Inventory → Stock deductions → Reasons, or open a stock deduction record and click Manage reasons.
6. Specify what you're deducting — product or ingredient — along with the quantity, and add any relevant notes.
   💡 If needed, you can collapse the stock deduction and finish it later; all filled fields will be saved.
7. Tap Save.

The stock deduction will appear in the management console under Inventory → Stock deductions, with a "from POS" note in the comments. All stock deductionsat the POS are also saved under Applications → Stock deductions on the POS.

To check expected stock balances for products and ingredients after stock deductions are applied, run an inventory check at the POS.
