Gas station

Joey, I have heard from several gas station convience stores that use POS for their shops. Gas however would be tough on a per gallon basis. The problem is that gas prices, at least in Chicago, are always figured to .9 of a cent or for example $1.549 per gallon. I guess that the gas companies think ...

Expiration date

Umar,

Sorry, that is not a feature that will be added. Making changes in the stock table affects all parts of the program and is therefore very difficult. Unfortunatly too few users would need this feature to warrent the effort and scarce code space required to add this feature.

Umar, Actually the 999.999 limit would only apply to the price of each item. The other limits would be divided by 10. For example the maximum price per sale would be reduced from 9,999,999.99 to 999,999.999 if 3 decimals were allowed. Would this be acceptable in Oman? If this works for Oman then I w...

New POS version 4.28 is uploaded.

Bug fix. If the text for printing reductions was blank the defaults did not load causing the program to crash. Fixed in version 4.28 which can be downloaded here http://keyhut.com/pos3.htm

As usual, making backups of your current program files would be a swell idea.

3 decimals

Currently you can't. But I have a question. The program is limited to 6 significant figures in prices. This means that while I may be able to come up with a version that allows prices up to 999.999 I cannot make a version that would allow prices up to 9999.999. So would 999.999 be enough or would it...

Generic printer

sgau1406, You should be able to use the Star printer without using APRINT. Use Windows to make the "Generic printer" your default printer. Now use the "Printer setup" feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program to change the printer port back to LPT1: Now if you run the POS.EXE program it should print just ...

Reduction bug

Guest,

Use the "Receipt language" feature in the POSCONFG.EXE program and set the 4 blank fields in the upper left quadrent of the screen to their default values. This will solve the problem.

Cash register

Nick,

I am not sure about that printer. How does it work? Also do you have the printer codes that will make the printer pop open the cash drawer, assuming that the cash drawer is connected to a port on the printer.

Stock table exporting

SKYBIRDS R/C,

I have tried it here and had no problem. Are you sure that there is enough free space on the disk to hold the file.

The files are always .TXT because they are saved as a text file, although a text file that can be read by a spreadsheet or database program.

Customer list access

Chris,

Managing the customer list is for managers, it is not something that sales clerks would want to do or should be allowed to do. It is not something that should be done while ringing up sales. Therefore it is accessed through the POSCONFG.EXE program like most functions that manage the system.

Customer list

Chris, Assuming that your business is successful and you have been doing it for a while you could possibly have tens of thousands of customers in your customer list. It could take a while to page through it to find the correct customer. I think that the current method of being able to have the progr...
