Hi,
Is there any way to store the offline POS records to in a local file like text or something…
Customer is afraid is there any chance of missing in offline records …
Please comments
There’s no such functionality out of the box. You can commission it but we’ll be glad to merge it into ERPNext.
@tundebabzy there are still bigger issues with the offline PoS.
The biggest reason I cannot use it is the fact that it allows transactions that are not paid fully to be saved and printed.
Using the online module I can make the setting credit limit zero and that’s that…no one can submit an unpaid invoice. .but this is not possible using offline mode .
Any help ? I really want to use the offline mode
Can we have an option where full payment at PoS is compulsory ?
Or is there a way we can define rights to make it impossible for certain users to save invoices whose payment is not completed yet?
Regards
Honestly, I think this is very important. Let’s create an issue for this on github.

POS
**The Problem**
The current PoS does not require cashiers to take full payme… nt for transactions made via PoS. This is a security loophole for most retailers
**My Current Work Around**
A work around I have used is to set the company credit limit to 1. This makes it mandatory for all invoices to be paid for in full else the invoice will not be created at PoS.
**The Limitation In The Work Around**
This work around however only works for the online mode of PoS, it does not work when the offline mode is activated.
And the offline mode is really important for a fast paced retail environment
If the offline mode is activated and the credit limit is set to 1, all "credit" sales at PoS will be saved as draft, even though the offending cashier would have printed the receipt and "concluded" the transaction. This is not acceptable.
**My Recommendation**
Have an option in the PoS Profile that makes it compulsory for PoS transactions to be paid for in full before the invoice can be submitted, make the submit button greyed out till full payment is made. With this we can create a profile for cashiers with this option ticked to ensure they cannot create credit transactions and then a separate profile for Managers where credit sales are needed.
This is seriously needed.
We are willing to pay for this if it will hasten the process

One more points , offline pos , is it possible to keep the invoice number as series instead of as a time stamp.
It is mandatory to keep invoice number as series as per VAT Compliance .

It’s difficult to maintain naming series number for the offline POS. For example User A has created 3 invoice in offline mode and same time User B has created 3 invoice in online mode. For offline it’s difficult to get the actual running number of the naming series.
To fix this issue we need unique naming series per pos profile? If this works then we can implement the invoice number based on naming series instead of timestamp.
Hi @rohit_w
Good to have your attention, how difficult is it to implement the payment issue raised by me above?
It is really critical for us

Thanks @rohit_w , Even it is better to use unique series for each pos user , The main object it should be in series for VAT Compliance .
