Complete User Guide For Odoo POS Screen Lock

INTRODUCTION

Authenticate POS user and order with Odoo POS Screen Lock!

POS users often wonder how they can make it more secure? so they leave it unattended for some time without worrying about misuse. 

To make the POS secure, you need to lock the POS so you can leave the POS for some time without any worry. But Odoo POS doesn’t have a lock feature, so what to do?

Odoo POS Screen Lock allows the user to lock the POS screen at any point time during the session so that no unauthorized user can access it. Only a valid POS user can unlock the screen after entering his security pin.

FEATURES

• At the beginning of each order, authenticate the POS user by locking the POS screen.
• Users need to enter their authorized security pin to unlock the POS.
• Valid POS users can unlock the screen by selecting their names from the POS user list.
• Also, it has a setting to lock the screen before making a payment for an order.
