Hi, Yes, this is how the problem started, and the end goal, to add a terminal so WebPOS can be logged in to. However, this also exposed a chain of issues with no ability to enter data through a standard mechanism while trying to create a retail store via "Catalog Manager->Stores, click New Product Store" (a terminal for WebPOS was the proverbial tip of the iceberg). You can't add the WebPOS until you have a terminal, and you can't add a terminal until you have a store, and you can't add a store until you have solved "Inventory Facility Id Required"...and there appears to be no way to add an asset/property/real-estate/facility which can be set up to have an Inventory Facility Id, so the store can't be added. Should I add a JIRA bug based on the entire chain of missing requirements leading up to the inability to log in to WebPOS?

Hello, Okay so it seems so far like the problem you are facing is simply yourinability to use the WebPOS application because there are no terminalsdefined. Is this correct? If yes, then this is mostly likely just some missing seed / demo data thatwe should add to the WebPOS component. I suggest to create a JIRA for thisand we can tackle this issue over there to resolve it permanently.
