Re: Graphical interface for POS

I agree with Rollerball but I think its a difficult implementation. DHPOS would need to track purchases individually and essentially require a purchase order for each purchase and acceptance of merchandise along with approval of invoice costs. Each item in the stock table would therefor have childre...

Re: Graphical interface for POS

Dale, Can you please share your insight so I can understand where you're coming from. Allow me to benefit from your experience and please elaborate on why you feel it's a bad idea to make the cost of inventory change when a new receipt is received. My opinion is that the the inventory cost is our st...

Re: Graphical interface for POS

Thanks Dale,
Update of price and cost info can be done easily then if I put a receive module into my program.

The gui is not intended to add that much in the way of functionality- its merely adds a different way to work since not everyone is comfortable giving up their mouse.

Re: Graphical interface for POS

Can you elaborate what you mean by easy update? What I intended was that the user can update ad hoc the cost and price of the stock items, exactly as it is done in Dale's POS only with GUI frontend. By realtime do you mean a FIFO, LIFO or weighted average costing of inventory to be adjusted everytim...

Re: Graphical interface for POS

By the lack of responses in this thread I take it there isn't much interest in this. It takes A LOT of work to bring an application to a level suitable for public release versus just a level suitable for my own personal use. For instance, I would'nt need to write a help utility module if I'm only wr...

Re: Graphical interface for POS

Here's another sneak preview of the inventory module that permits browsing, resorting and editing operations.

Note: that in the release version Category and Vendor will appear be drop down selectors instead of integers.

Re: POS file formats

PS- Don't use python 3.0 !! They broke backward compatibility. print is now a function and needs this syntax print('this text')

print 'this text' no longer works. Beware

Graphical interface for POS

If anyone wants a graphical (gui) interface, its in the works... Here are some screenshots to see how a gui can make managing customers more user friendly. Also, my system features an import facility to be able to browse any historical sales transaction all saved in a database accessible by customer...

Re: Transmit reports

Dale, No hurries since I've already developed my parser to workaround the limitation and it creates its own csv file for me. The main benefit for me is my code would be more efficient if you had the feature but its not the end of the world for me. However for other users' sake I feel it will be extr...

Re: Transmit reports

Too bad you're not making a csv export option : ( .. However I have one tiny tiny request that would make parsing of the journal easier for everyone and would not require an overhaul on your part. Regarding the dividing lines between each receipt. You are using dashes like this to separate one recei...

Re: Transmit reports

Sorry I misunderstood you. Anyway my Python utility does the job for me and is available to anyone who wants it. I'm still testing it though but the csv reporting format would be awesome if you could add that feature it would be useful (to me anyway)

Re: Transmit reports

A csv file to be useful to me should report the sales information so that each row in the csv file represents an individual line item. For instance suppose I have a daily close (its a really slow day - only 2 sales). Each sale is for 2 items as follows Trans # 1000 Customer ID: 55 ==================...

Re: Transmit reports

Dale, Wow I completely missed that post. That would be fantastic! This will help me tremendously with my project. Thanks for your email by the way regarging the IDX file format. I think I have it all figured out now. This feature your doing would be really useful. Let me explain my scenario which mo...

Re: POS file formats

I forgot to mention that you need to also create your csv source in excel with columns starting with:

ID->> Col A
Name->> Col B,
Address1->> Col C,
etc.

You should not use any row heading. The application as written assumes Column A is ID, B is name.

Re: POS file formats

Regarding the bug you're getting: there are a couple of places where you see '... print of record # ...' Change: print '-'*80+'\n'+' '*5+'Test print of record #',recordselect,'\n','-'*80,'\n' To print '-' *80+'\n'+' '*5+'Test print of record No',recordselect,'\n','-'*80,'\n' The # inside the quoted ...
