HarkTech POS Home screen with the module cards

0. Initial activation

On first start the program shows the computer ID. Send it to HarkTech through the contact page (or use Exportar solicitud) and you will receive your company's licence file, which you import with Importar licencia .lic. One licence per company: users, tills and warehouses do not count as licences.

1. The Home screen

After signing in you see Inicio (Home), with one card per module: Sales, Cash desk, Products, Stock, Purchasing, Customers, Tickets, Reports and Administration. Each user only sees the cards they are allowed to use. The ⌂ Inicio button in the header (or Ctrl+Home) brings you back from any module. The header also has the calculator (Ctrl+K) and help (?).

2. Shop and receipt settings

In Administración → Configuración del comercio enter your trading name, tax ID, address and receipt footer. Click Detectar impresoras to choose the receipt printer and Adjuntar logo PNG to add your logo. Payment methods are enabled there too.

3. Users and tills

In Administración → Usuarios y permisos the administrator creates accounts with Crear cuenta de caja, assigns a profile (cashier, manager…) and adjusts permissions. Each person signs in with their own user and password.

4. Products, variants, stock and purchasing

In Productos you add items with purchase price, selling price and stock (the profit is calculated automatically and VAT is applied for you); Atributos y variantes creates sizes, colours or other combinations with their own stock. Stock shows quantities, movements and stock counts, and Compras manages suppliers, orders and goods receipt. CSV or Excel import (including the program's own export, unchanged) handles large catalogues in the background, with progress and a cancel option.

5. Open the till, sell and close

Open the till in Caja with the opening float. In Venta scan or search items; the side panel shows the basket summary (items, discounts, VAT included and total). Click COBRAR (F4): in the payment window choose cash, card, Bizum, voucher or split payment, enter the amount tendered and see the change; Enter confirms and Esc cancels. For something that is not in the catalogue (an assembly service, a repair…), click + Venta libre (F3). If the till is closed, the program tells you and takes you to Caja. At the end of the day, count the cash and close the till.

Returns and vouchers: the Devolución button (F10) on the sales screen finds the receipt and refunds the amount or issues a voucher. The voucher receipt carries a barcode: when taking payment, scan it with the reader and it is applied as payment; any unused balance stays on the voucher.

6. Local backups

In Administración → Configuración del comercio enable automatic backups and the backup on exit, and choose an extra folder (for example a USB drive or a network drive in your shop). Crear copia ahora makes a backup immediately.

7. Restore a backup

In the same section, click Restaurar copia and choose the backup. The program first saves a safety copy of the current data.

8. Sign out and exit

Cerrar sesión returns to the sign-in screen so someone else can sign in. Salir de HarkTech TPV (on Home, or Ctrl+Q) closes the program and warns you first if a sale is in progress.

Full manual: the PDF manual (in Spanish) and the built-in help (? button) explain every screen with pictures of this version. The program interface is in Spanish.
