Ray, Jacques, thank you for answering. Ray, first i will answer your questions. I will need to run multiple pos terminals, possibly with own peripherals and some shared (printers may be). As you guessed for this purpose i will use applets. But the applet should be used only for this tasks, not for the whole UI. For now, the only hardware requirement are touchscreen and printers, so at this stage it will be mostly UI customization. But the hardware requirement will come after that. The screens should be similar to existing pos (i checked other pos systems, they all looks the same), but i donot want to use XML for button titles and product hard coding as it is in ofbiz pos. The products should come dynamically from categories and catalogs, like in order manager (especially as ecommerce).
Jacques, First i tried to go extending POS. I saw your message in opentaps forum saying that customer recording will be soon implemented in pos. Then there is issue in jira for manipulating configurable products through POS (it is almost finished), issue for loading orders to POS created from order manager... Even all these future POS improvement plans, implementing other requirements will need much more time for me, mainly because i am not well familiar with XUI framework. And also there are lots of ready things for web in ofbiz. On the other hand, the peripherals will be harder to integrate, but there should be something difficult ;) With 'using html' i mean that i will use ofbiz widgets and ftl (but not XUI). Possibly mostly ftls for more flexibility in applying custom styles. Thanks for the links. Till then i could not find a web pos example. It looks there are lots of interesting things in French sites :) Regarding orders, i will listen to you both and try to find a way for one order per table. There is no multiple orders editing example in ofbiz, and it could be risky and for sure time consuming operation. The main requirement for me is to group the products for each customer in the order/table and then multiple payments (usually one payment per group). Is there any other way to group products in the shopping cart? I guess only for ship groups. Thanks for your valuable time and comments. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Ofbiz-for-restaurants---please-advise-tf4414083.html#a12624061 Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
