Key Features

Secure your POS terminals with a full-screen lock overlay, server-verified PINs and passwords, and auto-lock on inactivity

Manual lock button

A clear lock button in the POS navbar lets the cashier lock the terminal instantly when they step away.

Auto-lock on inactivity

Lock automatically after 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes of inactivity, or set a custom timeout in minutes per POS.

Lock on session open

Optionally start every POS session in a locked state so each shift begins with a verified unlock.

Lock on cashier change

Re-lock the terminal automatically whenever the active cashier changes, so handovers always require credentials.

Multiple unlock methods

Unlock with Employee PIN, Cashier PIN, Manager Override PIN, or the user's Odoo system password, all configurable per POS.

Server-verified credentials

All PINs and passwords are validated entirely on the server. Unlock PINs are never sent to the browser, only the entered value is checked.

Numeric keypad & password field

An on-screen numeric keypad plus an optional password field on the lock overlay covers touch terminals and keyboard setups alike.

Customizable lock overlay

Full-screen lock shows your logo, cashier, live clock, and a custom message; pick a custom background image per POS.

Manager override

A manager PIN can unlock any locked terminal, perfect for handovers, supervisor checks, and emergency assistance.

User guide

Install the module, enable POS Lock Screen per POS, set each user's unlock PIN, and protect your terminals with a full-screen lock that requires server-verified credentials.

1. Install the module

  1. Open Apps, remove the Apps filter, and search POS Lock Screen.
  2. Click Install. Use the build that matches your Odoo version (17, 18, or 19); the builds are not interchangeable.

2. Configure POS Lock Screen

  1. Go to Point of Sale > Configuration > Settings and pick the POS to secure.
  2. Locate the POS Lock Screen section and enable it.
  3. Pick an Auto-lock timeout: Disabled, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, or Custom with your own value in minutes.
  4. Toggle the unlock methods to allow: Manager Override, Employee PIN, Cashier PIN, and Password unlock.
  5. Optionally enable Lock on session open and Lock on cashier change.
  6. Set a custom lock message and pick a custom background image.
  7. Click Save.

3. Set the unlock PIN per user

  1. Go to Settings > Users and Companies > Users.
  2. Open each cashier or manager.
  3. Open the POS Security tab and enter the unlock PIN for that user.
  4. Click Save.

4. Lock the terminal

  • Manually: click the lock button in the POS navbar to lock the terminal instantly.
  • Automatically: the terminal locks after the configured inactivity timeout, when a session opens, or when the cashier changes, depending on your settings.
  • The full-screen lock overlay appears and captures every input until a valid unlock.

5. Unlock the terminal

  1. On the lock overlay, enter an Employee, Cashier, or Manager PIN using the numeric keypad.
  2. If Password unlock is enabled, switch to the password field and enter your Odoo system password.
  3. The credential is verified on the server; the overlay closes only on a successful match.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can a cashier lock the terminal?
A lock button is added to the POS navbar; clicking it locks the terminal immediately. The terminal can also lock automatically on inactivity, on session open, or when the cashier changes.
2. What auto-lock timeouts are available?
Disabled, 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, plus a Custom option that accepts any value in minutes. Each POS can pick its own timeout.
3. What unlock methods are supported?
Employee PIN, Cashier PIN (must match the current cashier), Manager Override PIN, and optional System Password validation. Each method can be enabled or disabled per POS.
4. Are PINs sent to the browser?
No. Unlock PINs are stored on the user record and are never transmitted to the POS frontend; only the entered value is sent to the server for verification.
5. Can a manager unlock any terminal?
Yes. When Manager Override is enabled, a manager PIN can unlock any locked terminal, which is ideal for handovers and supervisor checks.
6. Can I brand the lock screen?
Yes. The full-screen lock overlay shows the company logo, cashier name, and live clock by default, plus a configurable custom message and custom background image per POS.
7. Which Odoo versions are supported?
Dedicated builds are provided for Odoo 17, 18, and 19, on Community and Enterprise. Always install the build that matches your Odoo version; the builds are not interchangeable.
