This is basically an electronic cash register that is linked to a computer, or that records data
onto cassette or cartridge. In its simplest form, the electronic point of sale system may simply
transmit details of a transaction to the computer for processing. The more complex terminals
can communicate with the computer for such purposes as checking the credit position of a
customer, obtaining prices from file and ascertaining availability of stock.
Types of decisions supported:
1.Granting or denying purchase of goods by a customer.
2.Reordering of stock when levels are low.
3.Awarding discounts on purchases.
Information required to support decisions:
1.A customer‘s outstanding balance may determine whether the customer is denied or
granted purchase.
2. Stock levels will determine the reordering of stock.
3.To award a discount on a purchase, the gross value of the sale and the discount rate are
required in addition to the minimum value of sales that qualifies for a discount.
