Bound Book Entries from POS Sales

Every time you sell a firearm at the point of sale, federal law requires that the sale is recorded as a disposition in your bound book. FastBound is your electronic bound book, and CloudFFL's POS compliance buttons keep everything in sync automatically.

How It Works

POS firearm sales use a different compliance flow than regular Sales Orders. Instead of syncing through the back office, the POS has built-in compliance buttons that handle the FastBound disposition right at the register:

  1. Ring up the firearm and set the customer on the order.
  2. Click Start 4473 from the Actions menu to create the disposition in FastBound.
  3. The customer completes the 4473 form and NICS check.
  4. Once approved, the bound book entry is finalized and the firearm can be transferred.

Important: Unlike regular Sales Orders where the disposition is triggered by delivery validation, POS sales handle the FastBound flow entirely through compliance buttons at the register. The delivery validation step for POS orders automatically skips the FastBound disposition process since it has already been handled.

For the complete step-by-step guide — including prerequisites, serial number entry, the 4473 PIN process, handling delays and denials, and end-of-day compliance checks — see Selling a Firearm at the Counter (POS) in the Dispositions (In-Depth) chapter.

ATF Requirement: The ATF requires that dispositions be recorded in your bound book by the close of the next business day after the firearm leaves your inventory. However, best practice is to record the disposition at the time of sale. If an ATF inspector walks in, your bound book must be current and accurate. Do not leave disposition entries for later.
