[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565?page=comments#action_12461487 ] 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?
