Transmit reports
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:33 am
Jon and I are coming up with a new feature.
As you know you can set up the POS program to generate automatic reports when the register is
closed. The new feature will allow the program to transmit those files over the internet by email
attachments or FTP. You will be able to select which files to transmit and after they are sent if you
want them deleted from the sending computer. Gift card reports cannot be transmitted.
Since the files can be in text or data (.CSV) format you can load the files into either your word
processing or spreadsheet software. But a more useful idea would be for the corporation to create
their own software to automatically load the data into their accounting software. Or load the data into inventory
software to restock the shops automatically.
This would be especially useful for chain stores with many shops. The file names of the files will
identify which shop transmitted the files (shop ID) what type of file it is, and the date the file was
created.
Do you have an idea for this feature. Well don't just sit there staring at the screen. Post it in a
reply. I have given up mind reading at the present time.
