POS Container Deposit
This module is used to manage container deposits for products in Point of Sale.
POS Container Deposit
This module allows the use of deposit products for PoS products.
An example of such a deposit product would be a bottle of cola, where the bottle is being sold for an extra 25 cents, which you get back when you bring the bottle back to the store intact. Whenever the cola is added to a PoS order, the bottle is added too. If the cola quantity changes, the bottle quantity will change as well.

Use Cases / Context
Note there are several implementations of the concept of deposits with varying degrees of complexity:
This module focusses on simplicity for users who don't want to get into packaging.
Configuration
To configure this module, you need to go to Point of Sale > Products.
- Select or add at least one 'deposit product', such as 'Bottle 1L', with a non-zero price and with the checkbox 'Is Deposit' set to True.
- Select or add at least one product of which 'Use Deposit' is checked, such as '1 liter of cola'. In the accompanying product selection field, select the bottle. The two products are now linked.
Usage
To use this module, open a POS session and:
- When a deposit product (eg. cola) is added, the bottle is added to the order as well and the quantities are kept in sync.
- When someone brings back bottles to the store, you can just add a bottle and enter a negative sale quantity, thus refunding the bottle.
