Odoo 16’s Point of Sale (POS) empowers businesses to monitor sales, handle inventory, and process payments. Within this system, bills play a pivotal role, aiding in sales tracking, payment processing, and providing customers with receipts for their purchases. Efficiently managing payments through bills minimizes the risk of errors, such as charging the wrong customer or an incorrect amount.

Bill splitting is a valuable functionality that enhances the versatility of your Odoo 16 Point of Sale system. There are numerous scenarios where bill splitting becomes essential. For instance, when a group of friends or family members wishes to split the cost of a meal, this feature ensures that each individual pays only for their respective orders. In online stores, a customer might want to pay for an order using a combination of credit cards, cash, or other payment methods. Bill splitting enables the customer to conveniently use multiple payment methods to settle the order.
