Excellent design! BRAVO! I want to add a suggestion:

In our country, we need the Taxpayer ID entered when we create a POS receipt/ invoice. It has to print in the invoice by law, and register in the transaction by law, thus it helps in declaring the VAT for sold items. Is it possible to enable a feature where “custom fields” can be shown in the “add customer” window?

This way the user can select their own particular custom field.

I don’t see why not since adding a customer is linked to a customer doctype so I think it will be easy to customize the fields that show in adding new customer or updating existing.
Just let hope we get enough contribution in the bounty to get someone working on it. don’t forget to contribute if you can :wink:

Ok, there you go!

Thanks. Hope others will contribute to get this going. The POS is really in desperate need for such overhaul to be usable in retail

Placed $50.

If possible, can add a 2nd screen where customers can view what was scanned and total amount? It should be another window, if using a web browser.

Thank you. I agree with you its important feature. However, I think what we have for now is too many features for the first version to get a developer starting on it. So after we get the the v1, we can start working in important features for v2 like:

  • 2nd screen facing the customer to show cart and thank you note after payment.
  • a tab for returning product.
  • a tab shows insight about the customer history and past orders

Thanks. @rmehta @olamide_shodunke. hope the others keep the ball rolling :slight_smile:

totally agree with you, but seen what we have now is complete redesign. its better to leave customer screen, sales returns, and customer history and insights to the second version after we get this one up and running. thanks again for the contribution

Well Even if pos is not that important to me in person but it drives the community and that is what drives the project.
I think that this dicussion is a perfect example for the spirit we need to sustain ERPNext and let it grow.
I’m really impressed of how things start to evolve right now and especially how much effort people put into this… let keep it up
