Live & Thanks [#620454]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know I opened today (http://totallytechy.com/blogs/news/launched) and am now officially using UberPOS as a live system. I got the receipt printing directly to my laser, stock deducting and apart from the attribute problem I had, it worked great (not that I did many sales - it was torrential rain!). There are a few workflow things that are hard coming from a 'proper' epos system, but I really think this is a well designed and programmed module and I hope many more people use it.

Thanks very much for your effort with this module :).

You wrote: "There are a few workflow things that are hard coming from a 'proper' epos system"

I wonder if you have any suggestions to make things easier? What are the features you're most missing?

Cool. Coming from a normal epos system and off the top of my head, a couple of things that I find difficult or miss

1. Pressing cash should just cash off (same for card etc) at the total price. I never enter what the customer gives me on a normal till, I work out the change myself.

2. When cashing off it should automatically clear the transaction ready for the next customer. Using the status box to show completed and change due?

3. Stock Lookup which comes with most epos. It means you can search for an item by keyword, SKU etc and then see the list showing the item, price, in stock etc BEFORE adding it to the transaction. Obviously you can go search the website or look through ubercarts admin, but its not very user friendly (or fast).

Thanks,
Paul.

edit: I think I should have pressed clear instead. A terminology/methology confusion for me. As I had cashed the previous order off I assumed cancel would cancel the new order (allbeit with old items).

Came across a problem - I think - linked to 2. above. I cashed an item off and printed reciept. I then accidently added another item from the next customer. I cancelled and started this customer correctly. I then went into orders and see that the previous one which was cashed off has now been cancelled.
