Once more from specs for a PoS system:
"Bon-Funktionen
Bon-Recover bei Stromausfall
Sofortiges Zeilen-Storno
Null-Bon (Frei-Verkauf)
Storno über Bon-Nummer
Bon-Rückstellung
Bon-Storno: nur in 1 Abrechnungsperiode, Eingabe Erklärungsgrund, Unterschriftsfeld
Bon-Abbruch: Eingabe Erklärungsgrund, Unterschriftsfeld"
Does null bon just mean making a sale without issuing a receipt?

no-sale receipt
I'm old enough to remember mechanical cash registers, and they all had a 'no sale' key that caused a flag with the same text to be displayed in the window. It was used for operations such as opening the cash drawer to make change, etc., without making an actual sale.
That might fit here; as to your question why this would be necessary, in principle it's desirable to record all transactions performed using the POS terminal.
FWIW, "no-sale receipt" + "cash register" gets 26 google hits, such as:

receiptless sale
It is a sale being done without a receipt. Kassenbon means receipt

: Hmmm. Somewhat skeptical; Seems very un-German. Wouldn't a receipt for zero money be more likely? (I didn't say you were wrong; I just suggested an alternative. Either way it seems a little unclear.)

Maybe... I'm not really sure. Ich konnte nur den Sinn von Frei-Verkauf nicht verstehen. Wenn man etwas verkauft dann wird man schliesslich bezahlt. Frei bedeutet ja nicht nur kostenlos, sondern vielleicht etwas wie: unrestricted, not needing a receipt (?)
