La terminal en el punto de venta es una caja registradora especializada, un sistema de registro de tarjetas de crédito o una máquina de despacho de billetes que hace que toda la información de la transacción pase directamente a la computadora central. Algunos sistemas de punto de venta incluyen la confirmación del crédito. Con este sistema se mantiene un control mejor del inventario, el efectivo en caja y de las ventas a crédito, haciendo que los datos se introduzcan a la computadora tan pronto como están disponibles en el punto de venta. Estos sistemas son también muy convenientes en la supervisión de los robos de efectivo y mercancias. 1, record 1, Spanish, - sistema%20de%20terminales%20en%20el%20punto%20de%20venta
