Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-565: --------------------------------------- Iain, The Save/Load Sales mechanism uses "Shopping Lists". So you may already use "Shopping Lists" from eCommerce part. I think it's a better way to deal with your case because there will not be duplicate orders. Let me know what you think before I close this issue.

Iain Fogg commented on OFBIZ-565: --------------------------------- Jacques, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not in front of a system where I can run up POS at the moment, so forgive me if this is a question/comment that would be easily resolved with some experimentation... In my scenario, my customer requests a product I do not have in stock. I need to a) Record that Customer A has ordered X quantity of product Y b) Record any deposits paid by the customer (most of the time this is nil) c) Generate a purchase order for the product(s) - usually consolidate orders a couple of times a week d) When the stock arrives from the supplier, identify the products that fulfil customer orders, and notify the customer Note, at this time there is no online interaction with my customers (all face-to-face or via phone). Generally, I have gone down the path of creating a Sales Order for (a) because it lets me do (b), and it automatically generates the necessary requirements that makes (c) straightforward. (d) still requires a bit of manual scanning, and it would be great if I could run a report that reconciles purchase shipment receipts against sales orders (or if the Facility receive shipment flagged that received items fulfil orders). I don't use manually entered Requirements for (a) because I can't directly associate a requirement with a customer. To do this, I need to have a Request, but I find the use-model for Requests a bit cumbersome. Besides, I can't do (b) with Requests/Requirements. As to Shopping Lists, to the best of my knowledge there would be no Requirements generated if I created a Shopping List for the customer - is that correct? Also, I cannot record any deposits (b). I'll be the first to admit that I might have missed something in the "correct" use of Orders/Requirements/Requests/ShoppingLists, but it seems that creating the Sales Order is the "right" thing to do to allow me to efficiently handle (a)-(d). If I'm right about that, then what I need is the ability to start the Sales Order in Order Manager, and finish it in POS. Happy to be corrected, as always.

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-565: --------------------------------------- Iain, OK I see the point. You are right Shopping Lists are not associated with requirements and you can't record any deposits associated to a Shopping List. But if you load an order from backend to the POS you will be facing the problem of duplicate orders because you will have an order from backend and an order from POS. If you don't fulfill (ie approve/complete) the 1st will it be ok for you ? In this case it should not be too difficult to create a new mechanism from POS LoadSale mechanism. This mechanims was created to store and recall sales from the POS hence the Shopping List. > Load a sales order in POS > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-565 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: pos > Reporter: Iain Fogg > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > > I often need to create a Sales Order for my customers that contain backordered items.

Sort of off topic for this bug report, but that is the sort of functionality that is absolutely critical for a shop doing a large amount of orders. > Load a sales order in POS > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-565 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: pos > Reporter: Iain Fogg > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > > I often need to create a Sales Order for my customers that contain backordered items.

Iain Fogg commented on OFBIZ-565: --------------------------------- Jacques, Hmmm, not knowing the details of the implementation, I was hoping that a POS sale was the same as an Order Manager sale, and that having POS load the sale created by the Order Manager would be completely transparent (provided we point POS as the order id). Having POS create a new sales order would not be ideal because (I presume) things like inventory management get screwed up. For example, when I create the order in Order Mgr, the item(s) are backordered, but ATP is decremented. Also, if the customer pays a deposit I would record that payment in the Order Manager at the time of the order, and in the ideal world POS would be able to pick that up too and include it in the PAY screen. Maybe this is asking too much of the current implementation of POS? It sounds like there is a fair bit (too much?) of independent business logic coded into the POS application, rather than leveraging the backend services?

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-565: --------------------------------------- Iain, Indeed a POS sale is the same as a sale order but it is immediatly fulfilled (as you may know this depends on a store parameter). For the moment AFAIK (Andy Zeneski created all that, he may correct me if I'm wrong ;o) the POS is only able to create orders not load them from other parts of the soft. Yes I believe that something is missing to achieve your need. Does not mean that it's imposible to do in a reasonnable time... > Load a sales order in POS > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-565 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: pos > Reporter: Iain Fogg > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > > I often need to create a Sales Order for my customers that contain backordered items.

My "POS store" immediately fulfills, and my "Other store" doesn't. The reason I set up this way was pretty basic. When sales are made through the POS, the customer is standing in front of the counter with the article they want in their hand. If they request something we don't have in stock, we flip over to the Order Manager and raise a Sales Order.The automatically generates a requirement for the product, and some time later we convert that requirement into an item on a PO. This might not be the most sensible arrangement, but it works. We prefer to use the POS for most face-to-face transactions because it is much, much faster than using the backend, plus the simple configuration of receipt printers, touch screen technologies, etc makes it easy to set up. The downside of having very different platforms for handling "in stock" and "not in stock" sales is that the experience we give the customer can vary quite a bit. For example, if the customer wants to pre-pay for an order, we generally write out a receipt by hand ('cause I haven't got round to beautifying the OFBiz A4-size sales invoices, and besides our large format printers are in the back-office, not out in the POS environment). As another example, the new implementation of Billing Accounts works well (based on my preliminary testing) in the Order Manager, but doesn't work yet in POS. And then there is Gift Certificates, which doesn't work properly in either environment (although from what I read everyone's very happy with the GC implementation in the ecommerce environment). At the end of the day, I'm trying to make the best of an imperfect solution, while madly trying to find time to make some meaningful contributions to improve things. I remain grateful to all the fine folks who ARE making things better :-) > Load a sales order in POS > ------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-565 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: pos > Reporter: Iain Fogg > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > > I often need to create a Sales Order for my customers that contain backordered items.
