Introducing POS Awesome

[youssef]

Thank you for sharing ideas,

@nmami

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)

@nmami

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.

@nmami

7-add invoice number as barcode, to easy scan it later in the return exchange transaction.

I added this to the plan, and for now, it only supports cash returns

@nmami

2-exchange transaction also is a must during a limited period, it can be part of point#1

As I see there is no way to do this because of the way Erpnext works, if you can find a way for this I would be happy to apply it.

@nmami

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.

The cashier has the option of either list view or card view, and I think this is an acceptable approach

@nmami

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.

I think there is no need for this because of the way the POS works now, as the cashier can easily change the quantity and price

@nmami

6-print bylingual item description in the same ticket some country request this option.

You can easily adjust the print format to suit your business need

@nmami

10-sometimes managers give a gift to friends or visitors from showroom, it will be free item how to do it in new POS?

You can create a customer account dedicated to gifts and then close its value in expenses

@nmami

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.

In POS Awesome, I register directly to the sales invoice, and I directly update and verify the inventory in every sale

@nmami

12-Add queu numbering in the ticket, usefull in restaurant and fast food.

For restaurants, I think it takes more than that
We can say that the point of sale needs to be more customized to suit the style of restaurant business

@nmami

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.

This has been implemented in POS Awesome and works smoothly

Have you tried POS Awesome and what is your impression of it?

[youssef]

You can install it now, it is ready for use in the production environment

[nmami]

Hi @youssef,
I did not do any test for POS Awesome, congrats for that work.

Are you going to merge it to the main ERPNext system?

I will do tests and let you know comments insha allah.

Thx

Hello, Its great to have this new app which is so much attractive and user friendly.

May i know how to add discount in item line as well for Grand Total. Even the taxes are note getting fetched from item tax.

[youssef]

For discounts check POS Profile

And for Taxes check in sales invoice “TAX BREAKUP” section after submitting the Invoice

[Amalusare]

I got the discount. But unable to get the taxes.

As my all the items have TAX 5%. Price of the item is 271. When TAX 5% is included then grand total should be 285.

This is my POS.

This is the Sales Invoice.

I want 285 as grand total in POS Awesome. How can i get it.

[Muzzy]

Pos awesome is currently tax inclusive only. Please read the thread by developer. He has mentioned it above.

[rahy]

I think you are mistaken by the term included.

If your price is 271 including 5% tax then the real price (what you receive after tax) is 271-(271*5%)=258
While if it is excluding 5% tax then 271+(271*5%)=285

If you want the price to include tax but you want to receive nett 271 then you should list the price as 285 so 285-(285*5%)=271

[Helio_Jesus]

First of all nice work and keep on improving. Is always good to have a second and different POS.
Will yours support Offline or just Online ?

[Amalusare]

Thank you! i got this.

But how can i fetch the tax data in my print format.

[rahy]

As @Muzzy said the POS can only do tax inclusive. Meaning you have to include the tax in price (list the price to 285 instead of 271).
Hence the pos will deduct the tax in the invoice.

[Amalusare]

Yes i got this but i want taxes to be reflected in Print format.!
Untitled|690x379

In the red box i want TAX amount: 10.

How can i get that.

[rahy]

Have you defined the sales tax template?
And get the printed field accordingly.
Like you did here

@Amalusare

This is my POS.

I’m sorry that I don’t use POS so my suggestion might not be straightforward.

[Amalusare]

Sales Tax template is used at the time of Sales Invoice or POS Invoice.

I’ve added TAX - 5% in each item. So that at the time of Sales it should reflect in print format also.

In POS Awesome the taxes are coming, But in Print format nothing is coming. I want taxes in Print format to which is 10.56.

[youssef]

You can create a custom Print format as you need
I recommend you check these:
https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/customize-erpnext/print-format
https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/setting-up/print/print-format-builder

Greetings

Why reading OFFLINE POS SETTINGS - Print format field as this is for Offline.
I have this field with a Custom Print format which is for Offline and when trying to load does not work.
Maybe just add a Print format field under POS AWESOME SETTINGS for Online Print format.

This what i get

And on the Browser shows only this
{{ body }}

[Helio_Jesus]

Maybe add buttons for Cash payment like below

In which when user clicks on C to clear and on any button (e.g. 1,000) twice keeps on adding up.

Or like in the V13 (add by 50 or 100) or even better under settings allow four buttons to add bills as per each Country requirements.

Please review this :

Print Preview Error {{body}}

This week, one of my clients and I discovered this problem, where PDF generation creates an empty page with {{ body }}. I want to discuss in detail, including the solution. As others have mentioned, when you try to print a PDF, ERPNext must write a document to a DocType named Access Log. That DocType has a related MySQL table named “tabAccess Log” If ERPNext cannot write a record to this table? Then the PDF generation fails. On your web browser, all you see is {{ body }}. That’s not helpf…

[Helio_Jesus]

Thanks for the reply will investigate but it’s strange because this custom POS print format works well on POS so why not when printing on yours!

[sjain]

Does it support cash drawer and pole display for showing the prices? If yes, please suggest how to connect pole display for showing the prices to customer.
