POS operations guide
Pharmacy billing needs more discipline than a normal retail counter because wrong item selection, batch confusion, expiry handling and returns can create customer risk and stock errors.
This checklist helps independent pharmacies, medical shops, clinic pharmacies, hospital counters and health stores that sell medicines, wellness items and regulated products according to local rules.
Train cashiers to search by barcode or name carefully, confirm batch and expiry where required, follow return rules, avoid manual price edits, print clear receipts and close the shift with payment and stock exceptions reviewed.
Decide who can sell restricted items, who can override price, who can accept returns, how near-expiry stock is handled and when a pharmacist or manager must approve an exception.
Review cashier-wise sales, returns, cancelled bills, near-expiry items, batch movement, stock adjustment and daily payment summary.
Follows a fixed billing sequence and knows when to call the pharmacist or manager.

Sees cashier mistakes, returns and stock risks before they repeat.
Item search, barcode scan, pack size, batch and expiry awareness, receipt printing and when to ask for approval.
