[CK-Ledger-users] Re: POS Interest

[C K Wu <ck...@ch...>]

Hello, Quentin,

POS is definitely one major component of CK-Ledger.  However,
I must admit I have dead zero knowledge on cash register hardware,
so interfacing with such hardware is not my cup of tea.  If you
like to integrate Mercator/JavaPOS with CK-Ledger, it would be
a strategic good fit for both software.

My plan is to concentrate on the backend part of POS.  At the moment,
there are two specific enhancements that I will be working on,

a)    Sales Plan - blank fields are already left in the db tables in
anticipation of this feature.
b)    Sales Commission Calculation - this will be developed after
CK-Ledger's payrol module is completed.

Cheers,
CK
