Overview
The POS keypad supports quick on-screen number entry for touch-driven or assisted-counter workflows. It helps cashiers enter values efficiently when keyboard input is limited or when touch entry is preferred.
Helpful note: The keypad may appear in several POS-related workflows, so the user experience can vary slightly depending on where it is opened.

How to use the POS keypad in QBM for faster numeric entry during sales, payments, and related counter workflows.
How It Works
QBM opens the keypad when a workflow needs controlled numeric entry. The cashier enters the required value, confirms it, and returns to the active POS screen with the number applied.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric entry | Lets the cashier enter a value through the on-screen keypad. | Use it when touch-friendly number entry is preferred. |
| Confirm action | Applies the entered value back to the active POS workflow. | Use it after checking that the number is correct. |
| Context return | Returns the user to the original POS task. | Use it to continue the sale, payment, or related process without interruption. |
Recommended Workflow
- Open the POS keypad from the workflow that requires numeric entry.
- Enter the required number carefully using the keypad controls.
- Review the entered value before confirming it.
- Apply the number and return to the active POS screen.
- Continue the transaction using the updated value.
Best Practice
- Check the value before confirming it, especially during payment or quantity changes.
- Use the keypad consistently in touch-based setups to reduce entry errors.
- Understand the context of the number being entered so the wrong field is not updated.
