Introduction

OpenXpertya enhanced Swing POS

• This Java based Point of Sales was inherited from the parent project Compiere. However it was incomplete and not working fully.
• It is then repaired and tested further by Contributors#Java_POS.
• Now it is fully working and part of the ADempiere main menu.
• It can act as a good alternative Sales Order screen.
• It has a preset touchscreen shortcuts in the POS Key Layout for use during fast order-taking like any POS station.
• It can have Credit Card feature and Cash Drawer control.
• It is fully integrated to the whole ADempiere system including Inventory, Customers, Orders, and Cash Book.
• It is very fast due to its standalone customised java code for a LAN based Client.

Setup Overview

• Login as ClientAdmin and browse through the main menu tree to find the POS section.
• Then we setup POS Terminal account for user authorisation to login and use the Java POS.
• Then we setup the Products touchscreen buttons - POS Key Layout.
• Now you can click on the POS window and see it.
• Then we setup the opening cash balance in tiller via the POS Cash Functions window.
• Now we are ready for business!

Notes

Small Areas To Improve

• Credit Card - code already present in trunk from WebStore package and need proper activating.
• Cash drawer - already present in POS package. Needs minor stitching
• Order Lines scrolling. Now need keyboard to get to last line or via scroll arrow keys. Wish it auto scroll when falling out of box borders.

Source Codes

• The sourcecode to handle Java POS is already in SVN Trunk of the ADempiere SourceForge.net project space
  • Under Client Source Folder
  • org.compiere.pos (see java classes listed below)
