School course sets, parents paying ahead and books still owed: practical guides for the busiest weeks of a book depot's year in Pakistan.
Uniforms sell in the same weeks as the books, but every piece comes in several sizes. How to set each piece up once, bill the right size at the till, see which sizes are running out, and add the uniform to a school's set in BooksPOS.
Keep each school's class list, put the whole set on the bill with one key, leave out what the parent already has, and order what is out of stock for them. A walk-through of school course sets in BooksPOS.
The weeks before schools open decide a book depot's year. A practical checklist for the month before, the rush itself and the weeks after, and where BooksPOS helps at each step.
Record money a parent pays ahead as an advance (not a sale), use it later with the "From advance" tender, and refund what is left, with the drawer and khata staying right.
