AoA Muzzamil. Can you plz expand on what you said above?

How cashier can save inovice as draft?

yeah sure what kind of explanation you need? I mean what point was not clear?

Click on Menu and you will see the option to save as draft

Click on Menu and toggle recent orders to see all your recent orders.

Chose the draft Filter to see draft orders

? cant see

Normally at a POS, customer gets all his items done at one point and gets a receipt. Take for example, Save Mart, Punjab Cash & Carry. So I am not sure why customer would go from POS-1 to POS-2 to POS-3 and finally pay cash at the last till.

we are not talking about cash and carry lets talk about raja sahib , or lets talk about enem or lets talk about rcg faisalabad, most of the clothing centers where sale persons are seperate each sale person makes seperate bill.

Hmmmm. Understand. If you are based in FSB, is it possible if I can give you a quick call and explain what I want. Our requirement is a bit similar, but not exactly that. We would like to hold a POS transactions until the job is done and only then process it for payment.

I am in FSD yes you can contact me.

Dont use POS will be my suggestion. Use Sales Invoice. Maybe Sales Invoice in Is POS mode.

The new PoS has a pretty nifty draft option that can work, try it out

Hi
Username and password is not working

Fixed.

Just learnt that Version 12.8 gives facility to hold an invoice. This sounds great.

Hi @nextchamp.saqib

How are we doing so far ??

Could you have a look at multi level Loyalty ? It is not following expected logic.

The expectation is that once a customer’s purchases accumulate to a certain threshold he is moved to the next level.

It is not happening this way.

I have complained about this for a long time.

Do we have a time line to merge this PoS ? How are the adjustments going? Anything we can help with?

Hi,
It’s wonderful work so far.
I am not POS specialist, but I will add few points to the discussion collected during my real buying transactions.

1-As a consumer it’s a must that seller provide me option for return goods for money refund or a balance voucher limited in the time to re use and buy other things from the same brand (not necessary same showroom, it can be from another showroom located somewhere)
2-exchange transaction also is a must during a limited period, it can be part of point#1
3-show price once item get scanned on a mirror screen also is very important, since as a consumer I will check if rack price is similar to the one in the POS system. Here most of discounted prices on rack are different from system due to human errors.
4-as cashier working 8 hours in the POS he don’t need to see item images, I bellive after 3 days he will very well memorize them. in the other hand consumer need to see image and price in the same time to be sure what he is paying at the end is same what he took in hand.
5-IKEA POS they show one field in the top and label keep changing as long as transaction is progressing, first system ask to change qty manually if greater than 1, press enter same field change label and will accept scanned item code, once done new line added below in the second half screen, than pass to scan second item, same loop, once finish it call payment screen, at the end accept payment, print ticket and open drawer.
6-print bylingual item description in the same ticket some country request this option.
7-add invoice number as barcode, to easy scan it later in the return exchange transaction.
8-in case cashier did enter an item by mistake, or found wrong price, to delete/update this line it need a supervisor intervention, not same user can delete, to avoid fraud.
9-Consumer sometime need to check price only, here no need to create new invoice to check price only.
10-sometimes managers give a gift to friends or visitors from showroom, it will be free item how to do it in new POS?
11-I suggest to transfer stock ledger and accounting ledgers once current invoice get printed, at that time cashier is dealing with change so we have time to trigger jobs and update stock level ontime. for next customer system should show updated stock level. in case of @bkm billing can be made in the last step and happen only if customer get goods in hand, in other words POS scenario differ from business to business, Carrefour for exemple you pick items then pay, it should be a pick confirm somewhere in your process as pre requisite for billing.
12-Add queu numbering in the ticket, usefull in restaurant and fast food.
13-for some reason current invoice get stuck and need to pass to next client but we do not want to loose it, how to save it as draft and go back later once issue resolved.

I hope above points will find acceptance and help to build sellable POS system.

Hi @nextchamp.saqib, the test server is down.

Whats up?

The fixes are still underway, just that I am not focusing 100% on this as we have v12 and v13 beta releases in the coming week.
The server has been dropped I’ll put it back again in sometime.

As for the progress, only the returns are to be fixed. As the Sales Invoices are also not able to use credit notes as payment it has to be implemented from bottom up.
