I think a POS interface module is a great idea as many POS systems are very specific to their markets, ej. restaurant touch-screen.
I believe the module should take sales data from the POS system (ideally every transaction rather than a summary) and use this data to adjust stock levels, etc. Data required is: * DateTime * ProductReference (something that can be matched with the OpenERP product definition) * Quantity * Value * Taxes (could be complicated...) * Form of payment (currency, credit card, customer account, etc.) * CustomerReference (Optional) For a restaurant, this has the complication that ideally it would tie into the production module, so that if you sell a Cappuccino, for example, Open ERP would: 1. Register a sale of that product. 2. Reduce stock levels of milk and coffee, according to the size of the drink. Ideally the module would allow the incoming format to be defined, so as to increase the posibility of being able to interface with an existing output report from the POS systems. Acceptable input formats should be XML, CSV, and FixedWidth. Just FYI, in case anyone is using the same software, our company uses PixelPoint POS. Very open to change, however, especially if there is an interface to OpenERP! An option we have been evaluating is SelbySoft SP-1. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43431#43431 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
