Introduction
In fast-paced retail environments, every second counts especially during billing. Applying or removing taxes manually in Odoo POS can sometimes slow down operations, particularly when handling urgent customer requests or dealing with products that require conditional tax adjustments. To solve this, we developed the POS Tax Module, a smart enhancement that allows POS users to manage taxes instantly with a single click. This module simplifies tax handling, increases checkout speed and ensures accurate billing without navigating through time-consuming backend settings.
Why We Built This Module
Businesses often face situations where taxes need to be applied or removed quickly such as special customer exemptions, promotional offers or last-minute corrections.
In standard Odoo POS, modifying taxes on the spot is not straightforward and may disrupt the billing flow. Our goal was to create a solution that offers:
Speed and flexibility during checkout
Control over tax behavior at the POS level
Reduced dependency on backend tax setup
Smooth customer experience during peak hours
This module ensures tax handling is swift, accurate and completely user-friendly.
Key Features
1. Manually Apply or Remove Taxes
With dedicated Apply Tax and Remove Tax buttons, cashiers can instantly adjust taxes without leaving the POS screen.
2. Customer Taxes Integration
Assign tax values to products through Customer Taxes in the backend and apply them effortlessly during billing.
3. Smart Popups Based on Product Selection
Empty Product Popup when no product is selected
Remove Tax Popup when a product already has tax
Apply Tax Popup when a product can be taxed
Warning Popup for products without backend tax setup
These alerts ensure accuracy and prevent errors.
4. Instant Total Recalculation
When taxes are applied or removed, the module recalculates the total amount immediately for transparent billing.
5. Ensures Correct Configuration
The module checks whether the Flexible Taxes option is disabled in POS settings and ensures proper functionality.
