Discount Restriction & Approval for Point of Sale
Discount Restriction & Approval for Point of Sale enables businesses to control and limit discount usage in Odoo POS by enforcing approval-based authorization when discounts exceed predefined limits, ensuring that cashiers cannot apply excessive discounts without manager or authorized employee approval, thereby preventing revenue loss and maintaining strong pricing discipline at the point of sale.
Features
Discount Limit Enforcement
This feature allows businesses to define a maximum discount percentage in the POS configuration. When a cashier applies a discount within the allowed limit, the system processes it normally without interruption. If the discount exceeds the configured limit, the system automatically restricts the action to ensure pricing rules are followed.
Approval-Based Authorization
When a discount exceeds the permitted threshold, the system triggers an approval popup that requires authorization from a manager or designated employee. Only users with proper approval rights and a valid PIN can approve higher discounts.
Manager Override with PIN Security
Authorized managers can override discount restrictions using a secure PIN-based authentication process. This feature ensures that sensitive discount approvals are protected and traceable.
