Arun, I'm not sure about the idea would work or not. But yes if the following list pass then we could think of doing so.
- Suppose we have 2 POS stores and will get orders from both pos stores. And if we remove the order data model dependency then; -- How we will see the sales from both pos. Invoices? -- How to track the sales being done by the each pos store. -- Do we have any alternative way to check inventory of each pos store. We may like to see the count of sold items and remaining items on each store. -- Do we have any way to track the customer's purchasing and on the basis of purchasing can we add them to some marketing campaign. May be to give the discount coupon or offers. - Also you are taking an example POS won't send the shipping or billing information but if some store is only selling to registered user then how we are going to handle that? - How to manage the loyalty points if POS stores issuing one, and how it will redeem those points without having orders in the system. I could think of the above points only, will share if come up with more. -- Rishi Solanki Sr Manager, Enterprise Software Development HotWax Systems Pvt. Ltd.
