Understand discount authority
POS Discount Controls focuses on discount permissions, margin awareness, reason codes, supervisor overrides, and abuse prevention. AWRA POS connects counter activity, branch stock, customer proof, payment capture, drawer control, and shift reporting.
The practical goal is retail accountability. Every sale, return, discount, payment, receipt, drawer movement, and stock promise should be traceable to a counter, cashier, shift, and branch.
In practice, a supervisor reviews a discount request, checks margin impact, approves with a reason, and later reviews repeated cashier patterns.

Retail model
- Retail work should preserve counter, cashier, shift, payment, and stock context.
- Cash movement needs tighter evidence than ordinary transaction notes.
- Returns, discounts, and overrides should be controlled by role and reason.
- End-of-day reporting should support finance handoff without guesswork.
