Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the TABS trade counter module.

Can I set customer-specific pricing?
Yes. TABS allows you to create individual price lists per account, configure volume discounts and set contract pricing so every trade customer sees the rates agreed with them. Pricing is applied automatically at the counter, removing the need for manual overrides.
How do credit limits work?
You can set a credit limit for each trade account individually. The system tracks the outstanding balance in real time and alerts your staff when a customer is approaching their limit. Once the limit is exceeded, transactions can be blocked automatically until a payment is received or a manager overrides the hold.
Can I generate invoices from the trade counter?
Yes. Invoices are generated from within the system and can be printed, emailed, or exported. You can invoice individual transactions or consolidate a customer's activity into monthly statements. The module integrates with accounting packages such as Sage and Xero, so invoices flow through to your ledgers without re-keying.
Does it integrate with EPOS?
The trade counter module integrates seamlessly with the TABS EPOS system. Your staff can handle both trade and retail sales through the same interface, drawing from a single stock file. This means there is no need for separate systems or duplicate data entry.
