Split a bill across cash + UPI + card + voucher
Real customers pay with whatever combination they have on them. HelloBooks lets the cashier mix tenders in any ratio, settle in one pass, and post a clean journal — every component tied to the right ledger.
Part of HelloBooks POS · Tender modes
Most tills allow one tender per bill. The few that allow more usually post the result as a single line and ask you to reconcile manually. HelloBooks treats every tender component as a first-class accounting entry — cash, card, UPI, voucher, store credit, advance — each with its own GL behaviour.
Every detail, dialled in
Built for the till, validated against the canonical accounting engine — so every POS sale closes the books cleanly.
Up to six tender lines per bill
A single settle can spread across cash, UPI dynamic QR, EDC card, customer advance, store credit, and gift voucher. Each line tells the books where the money came from; the bill itself stays one transaction.
- Six tender types in one settle
- Per-component reference number
- Cashier can edit before confirming
- Cancel rolls back atomically
Auto-balance + change
Type the cash amount, the till computes the gap. Type the card amount, the till re-computes. Cash overpayment becomes change due; card overpayment is rejected before the EDC fires.
- Live gap calculation
- Change automatically rounded
- Card overpayment blocked
- Tender order saved per cashier
Cleanly journalled
Cash hits the till GL, EDC charges go to Undeposited Funds, vouchers retire the right liability, store credit closes the customer ledger entry, advances apply against the right schedule. One bill, six clean lines on the books.
- Cash → till GL
- Card / UPI → Undeposited Funds
- Voucher / store credit → liability retired
- Advance → schedule auto-applied
Why teams move off legacy tills
- One tender per bill or two at most
- Manual reconciliation by cashier
- No atomic cancel after split
- Books see one undifferentiated payment
- Six tenders, one bill
- Auto-balanced gap calculation
- Atomic cancel rolls all back
- Each tender posts to its correct ledger
Questions, answered
How many tenders can a single bill take?
Up to six discrete lines — cash, UPI, card, customer advance, store credit, and gift voucher. The cashier can layer them in any order.
What happens if the card declines on the third tender?
The whole settle stays open. The cashier retries that tender or swaps it for another. Earlier components are not posted to the books until the full settle confirms.
Does change-due work across mixed tenders?
Yes — cash overpayment surfaces change due. Card and UPI cannot overpay; the till blocks the EDC start if the requested amount exceeds the gap.
How is this auditable?
Every tender line lives on the bill with its own reference, vendor, and ledger account. The full split is visible in the bill detail and on the Z-report.
