# Use register keyboard shortcuts

The register exposes shortcut hints for frequent actions and ignores shortcuts when the action is unavailable. Read the shortcut hint bar, use the shown key for the intended action, and confirm the correct dialog or operation opens. Review the final cart, customer, service mode, price, tax, notes, and stock state before checkout.

## Before you start

- An authenticated POS session for the intended branch.
- The current branch menu and register configuration have finished loading.

## Steps

1. Read the shortcut hint bar.
2. Use the shown key for the intended action.
3. Confirm the correct dialog or operation opens.
4. Use touch controls when a shortcut is unavailable.

## Expected result

The shortcut opens only its currently available action and leaves focused input fields unchanged. Keep the cart open and do not add the item again while its line state is uncertain.

## Permissions

- Register use requires POS access for the active branch; catalog, configuration, and stock corrections remain restricted to an authorized manager.

## Troubleshooting

### When staff read the shortcut hint bar, POS blocks progress before they can use the shown key for the intended action.

First confirm the following access and record state: An authenticated POS session for the intended branch. The current branch menu and register configuration have finished loading. Reopen /billing once and read the exact validation or configuration message. If the control remains unavailable, stop and give Support the safe cart reference, product or SKU, branch, line state, and time. Keep evidence of the result when staff read the shortcut hint bar.

### The cart or register does not reflect the requested item change after the final checkpoint: Use touch controls when a shortcut is unavailable.

Inspect the affected cart line, quantity, unit, modifiers, price, stock, customer, and service mode. Retry once only when the cart proves the change was not already applied and menu and stock data are current. If those records still disagree, stop and send Support the safe cart reference, product or SKU, branch, line state, and time. Before another attempt, establish whether staff could use touch controls when a shortcut is unavailable.
