OFBiz-POS (Point Of Sales)
OFBiz has it's own open source POS front end application. The interface utilises XUI whilst the business functionality is directly reusing the core OFBiz technology underneath. Thus the POS terminal gains all the benefits already built into the framework around products, pricing, promotions and facilities etc.

It would be nice to see development of a stock check against other facilities screen to ease customer enquires about other shops having it in stock. Think real time stock issues again though!

The webPOS component can be seen in action via http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/webpos/control/main
Getting Started:
Login with userid "1" and password "1" (or 2/2 for a non manager person).
To use the "register" it must be opened, which basically involves telling the system how much cash you are starting with. It will then keep track of cash transactions so you can see if everything balances when you close the register.

- Those managed by OFBiz directly : in PosUiLabels.xml
- Those managed by XUI : in XuiLabels.properties (add your language if needed)

You can use a plugin like RBE to edit XuiLabels.properties |
CRM
There is now (2009-11) a beginning of a CRM in the POS. At least you are able to search, create, modify and select a customer profile (full name, email address, phone number, card number). To allow a customer profile to be selected, it must have a card number. This card number must also correspond to an existing promotion code. Once a customer is selected, the card number is used as a promo code to give customised privileges. Also as the customer is known during the sales processing much more could be done with it...
See more about it in the Promotions chapter in the attached Till Manual.

Areas for thought/investigation
...
Ray Barlow 13/07/05 Attached is the document we have written for users of the POS system (Till Manual_V2.0). It may be a little bit specific to us in areas and it does have a little customisation i.e. we have added two functional buttons that we thought useful, you can see them on the screenshots.
1) DEL : If you are typing a number on screen and you make a typo this saves pulling the keyboard out to correct it.
2) - (minus) : We use this for quantity corrections, price mods etc.
