Stop tapping New Order after every sale

POS Auto Next Screen automatically returns the cashier to the order screen after a configurable delay, with per-register control, transaction exclusions, and ROI metrics that prove the time saved.

The problem

After every completed sale, Odoo POS leaves the cashier on the receipt screen until they manually tap New Order. Repeated hundreds of times a shift across every register, that single tap adds friction, slows queue throughput, and creates avoidable idle time during rush periods.

The solution

POS Auto Next Screen automatically returns the cashier to the order screen after a configurable delay, with exclusions for refunds and invoiced orders, a Hold or Start now override, one-click settings for every register, and per-session metrics that show exactly how much time was saved.

Capabilities

Everything a multi-register POS needs to auto-advance safely

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Automatic Screen Transition

The moment a sale is finalized, the receipt screen automatically hands the cashier back to the order screen so the next customer can be served without a manual tap.

02

Per-Register Enable Toggle

Turn Auto Next Screen on or off independently for each point of sale from the POS section of Settings, so every store or register controls its own behavior.

03

Configurable Transition Delay

Set a 0-10 second pause before the screen advances, giving the cashier time to confirm the receipt printed or hand it to the customer before the next order starts.

04

Skip on Refunds

Exclude refund transactions from auto-advance so the cashier always stays on the confirmation screen when a return needs extra attention.

05

Skip on Invoiced Orders

Exclude orders billed to invoice from the automatic transition, keeping the cashier on screen when additional invoicing steps may be needed.

06

Cashier Manual Override

A Hold (Esc) button cancels the countdown on demand, and a Start now button advances immediately, so cashiers stay in control of every exception.

07

Apply to All Points of Sale

One click from Settings copies the enabled state, delay, and exclusion rules to every other point of sale, keeping behavior consistent across a whole fleet of registers.

08

Per-Session ROI Metrics

Each point of sale session form shows the number of accelerated transitions and the estimated total time saved, so managers can see the impact directly on the session record.

09

Auto Next Metrics Reporting

A dedicated Reporting list and pivot log every accelerated transition with date, register, session, cashier, and order reference, ready to filter, group, and export.

Workflow

How it works

1

Configure the delay

In Settings, enable Auto Next Screen for a point of sale and set the transition delay plus any refund or invoice exclusions.

2

Cashier completes a sale

The cashier validates payment as usual; the receipt screen appears with a live countdown card.

3

Screen advances automatically

After the configured delay the order screen returns on its own — or the cashier can Hold (Esc) or Start now at any moment.

4

Review the ROI

Managers check accelerated-transition counts and time saved on the session form or in the Auto Next Metrics report.

Yes. The transition triggers on any completed sale, and you can separately exclude refunds or invoiced orders from auto-advancing if you want the cashier to stay on the confirmation screen for those cases.
