The system is designed to automatically calculate and display the excess amount paid by the customer, making the process faster and error-free for cashiers. This feature appears only when the Cash payment method is used, ensuring that cash-based transactions are always handled clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Processing a Cash Payment in Odoo POS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, the cashier opens the POS interface and adds products to the cart. Items can be entered by typing the product code, scanning the barcode, or using any related multi-barcode. Quantities can be adjusted easily, and the customer can be selected if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the order is ready, the cashier proceeds to the payment screen by clicking the Payment Mode button or pressing the F4 shortcut. On the payment screen, Cash is selected as the payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen-1024x538.png\" alt=\"Odoo POS Change in Payment Screen\" class=\"wp-image-34534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen-1536x807.png 1536w, https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/11\/Tenthplanet-Odoo-POS-Change-in-Payment-Screen.png 1830w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the customer gives an amount greater than the bill total, for example, paying 1000 for a bill of 765, the cashier enters this amount in the payment field. Odoo instantly calculates the excess and displays it in the <strong>Change<\/strong> field. The cashier can then complete the transaction by clicking Validate or using the shortcut Alt + V. This ensures the system records the payment correctly and generates the receipt immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Viewing Change on the Receipt and Next Transaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the payment is validated, the printed bill receipt clearly shows the extra amount paid by the customer in the <strong>Balance Cash Amount<\/strong> section.
