Pick a module and learn exactly how it works — the flow, step by step, and the errors you might hit with how to solve them.
Selling
Learn how to ring up a complete sale on the CEMAC POS till, from scanning the first item to printing a VAT-inclusive receipt. It works even when the internet drops.
CEMAC POS gives you a detailed A4 invoice and a compact thermal ticket, and can send either straight to the customer on WhatsApp. Here is how to choose the right one.
Accept MTN MoMo and Orange Money at the till, record the transaction reference for your books, and mix cash with mobile money in a single sale.
Prepare a quote or proforma invoice a customer can review and approve, then turn it into a completed sale without re-entering a single line.
Inventory
Build a clean catalogue: name, category, VAT-inclusive (TTC) price, image and starting stock — the foundation every sale, receipt and stock report is built on.
Book deliveries in correctly: add received quantities, set the cost price behind each item and keep on-hand figures honest so margins and reorder alerts stay accurate.
Count the shelf, compare it to what the system thinks you hold, and post the difference — so your inventory figures match reality and shrinkage is visible.
Give every product a barcode, print clean shelf labels, and scan at the till so cashiers ring items in a second — no hunting through the grid.
Log what you buy from suppliers, track what you owe each one, and capture deductible input VAT into SYSCOHADA account 4452 so your returns are correct.
Money and accounting
The Z report is your end-of-day snapshot: total sales, payments by method, VAT collected and the cash that should be in the drawer. Learn to read it and close the day correctly.
Every sale you complete quietly produces double-entry SYSCOHADA journal lines. Here is how they roll up into a trial balance, income statement and balance sheet you can hand to your accountant.
CEMAC POS separates the 19.25% VAT you collect on sales from the VAT you pay on purchases, and computes the net figure you declare to the DGI each month.
Every printable statement carries a QR code. Scanning it recomputes the numbers on the server and confirms the printout matches the books — tamper-evidence without trusting the paper.
Log every expense so your drawer and profit are honest, and record credit sales as receivables (account 411) so you know exactly who owes what.
This is about the shop’s own subscription to CEMAC POS. Pay by mobile money, upload the proof, and an admin activates your plan — no card required.
Team and setup
Invite your team, assign owner, manager or cashier, and keep sensitive screens for the people who need them.
Record employees, capture clock-in and clock-out times, and turn attendance into payslips you can hand out.
Pair a new phone or tablet by scanning a QR code from an already signed-in device, then sell from both.
CEMAC POS works with no connection. Sales queue on the device and upload themselves safely once you are back online.
Reward repeat customers with points and tiers. One card works at every CEMAC POS shop, but points stay with the shop that gave them.
Set your shop name, VAT and currency once, then share a public storefront page customers can visit.
