    Hi Pedro,

    Thank you for sharing, finally we download and start the secure server and we are able to run the new release of SmartPOS 7.1, it's amazing specially for users who already use iDempiere, we have some comments that we hope you take them on consideration :

    1- SmartPOS could work for a large companies that have a direct sell to a customer where there is not a big queue, ex: for a big supermarket where cachier focus only on selling and can't every time hit the new button and set the paid amount manually where in usuel he set the amount for selling with debt only.

    2- Since SmartPOS 7.1 use the power iDempiere core, sell with only one price would not work for wholesale, i think adding an option of price version on the POS screens would be better.
    3- Making selling easy => should making purchasing easy too, create a process or form for receivind data will be better

    4- For systems that already use iDempiere, is there a way to add SmartPOS 7.1, or in another way and since SmartJSP maintain open source strategy, how can we modify or contribute on SmartPOS 7.1

    Best regards

    Hi Mohamend.. Thanks for your feedback and we are glad to seee that you are testing our SmartPOS solution ..here some answers to your questions..

    1- SmartPOS could work for a large companies that have a direct sell to a customer where there is not a big queue, ex: for a big supermarket where cachier focus only on selling and can't every time hit the new button and set the paid amount manually where in usuel he set the amount for selling with debt only.

    PR: these sound as potential optimizations for future release,s please send a more detailed workflow of the cashier, and we will be glad to analized if that make sense. so far our big market in focused in pharmacies, but we can check how we can improve it for super market as well.

    2- Since SmartPOS 7.1 uses the power iDempiere core, sell with only one price would not work for wholesale, i think adding an option of price version on the POS screens would be better.

    PR: please analyze the internal princing optons inside our documentation, we already manage the normal multiple princes/ schema/versions of idempiere. perhaps it depends on speficic requirementes if you need something else.

    3- Making selling easy => should making purchasing easy too, create a process or form for receivind data will be better

    PR: That is also already available in smartpOS (simplified procurement inside the simplified processes menu)... check and play with the latest demo.

    4- For systems that already use iDempiere, is there a way to add SmartPOS 7.1, or in another way and since SmartJSP maintain open source strategy, how can we modify or contribute on SmartPOS 7.1

    PR; as described in release doc. this is a release for end users, what you are asking here is for implementors/developers or matrue cliente with existent idempiere 7.1 ..... and that requres a significant amount of additional work is not plug & play or automatic

    The first steps are to release a set of SQL scripts (delta scripts with the data model differences between a vanilla idempeire 7.1 and smartPOS) that will be released soon ... but the remaining part which is a complete set of packouts .+ a full set of regression tests . to move all the configiruation of windows, tabs, component and active dictionary elements of SmartPOS 7.1. to a normal idempiere 7.1 are time consuming, and so far we do not have a sponsor for that ....then we can not give prioroty to this topic at this moment to release it for free as usual ....

    However if you our someone else are interested to sponsor this part of the work let us know by email at: pedrorozo at smartjsp.com and we can discuss scenarios about it ..

    Regards,

    Pedro Rozo.
