Hi Renaldas,

> is it possible to change customer in POS order?
Not sure of what you mean. By default the customer is unknown (it's retail, you don't ask for identity) and his/her id is _NA_
You may try to change the default customer in PosTransaction.java[99]. I never tried...

> How I can chnage order status?
POS order are immediatly fulfiled (no delivery, this point may be enhanced I agree). What do you want to do and why do you want to
do that (this question applies is also for your 1st question)

Hi Jacques,
I would like to change customer because sometimes he/she needs invoice for his buy. This would be very useful to enter customer name. Second question - it can be useful to record loyal customers.
I just wanted to find out if is it possible to do this with current ofbiz version?
Thank You for the answers.

Renaldas,

Both should not be too difficult to do. I don't know if creating a POS specialised UI is necessary for your use.
It will be perhaps quicker than switching to back-end running simultaneously.

Please consider opening a Jira issue for your requirements.
Then we will be able to discuss them in a easy followed way, and why not submit a patch ?

Thanks

Jacques

Renaldas, Jacques,

Not sure about other countries, but here in the UK, it is quite common
to take the customer's address as part of a POS purchase, this is
commonly used by electrical retailers and such like to keep a record for
product guarantee purposes etc.

Some POS systems require you therefore to create a Party in order to
process the order.

This would be a cool addition to POS.

Hi All

I have some questions regarding the pos and the order relations
If I go and open the pos terminal using startofbiz.bat on a windows machine and chose some products then clicked "save sale"
this means my sales order is successfully completed? how can I make sure? where can I see that in the database?
Shall I see this order when I go to the order manager? is the order done by the POS terminal is treated as an order and it's saved in the orderheader table.

I've tried to make order through POS but I couldn't find it in the order list in the order manager is that natural or the order I've made through the POS wasn't successful?

As a matter of fact I don't need all the options found in the POS but I wanted to skip the shipping steps in the ordinary order screens but I found that even if I used quick "finalize with default options" I'm asked about the shipping address of the customer and shipping options ans such staff so I decided to explore the POS

Also something crossed my mind what if I set the customer in the order entry screen to "_NA_" will I be able to escape from entering the shipping address of that customer?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help

Yes, it's an order, look at the Order manager (or if you prefer you can use Entity Maintenance in Webtools)

Yes. During development stage, I recommend to use startofbizBoth.bat (I did not create the same for sh, but it's easy to do from it)
to make investigations easier.

You should see it. Did you finalize the order (pay for it)? Also, if finalized, the POS ordes are always in the completed state, so
check the check-box...

By default you don't ask customer information in the POS situation. But you might want to associate a customer (to use promotion
code for instance, or any reasons actually), then use PROMO/CUSTOMER PROFILE buttons

Hi Jacques

Thanks a lot for your previous reply
I have more inquireis about the POS and I really wish you could help me with them
Now I'm thinking of using the webpos and I've tested it and made a successful order and saw it in the order manager and that was great and it had the status of completed.

I want to have the following scenario in my POS
The customer is asking about a product and this product is not in my retail store right now so I want to make a stock move between stores I know this is very normal in the ordinary order but how this cases are handlel in the POS when a csuometr asks about a product and this product has finished from your store and you'll move it from other stores ?

Can I set is automatically fulfilled to N

how to handle these cases as a user ?

Thanks in advance

[Shereen]

Although something crossed my mind about the order statuses I know it's completed what if it needs a stock move? will that cause kind of contradiction
Thanks in advance

POS is Point of sale
which means that you have it in hand to sell.
other wise use the order entry.
