POS - when is cash ported into the P&L statements

Hi Xavier,

What version of OpenERP are you using?

POS has different behaviour on 5.0, 6.0 and 6.1...

In general, when you apply the payment in POS, the system will create for
each line in the POS order an account move between the income account for
the product and the Accounts Receivable linked to the customer used on the
POS order, and the order will be moved to the "paid" state.

While in that state, you can apply returns of products to the order, or
even cancel it...

Finally, when you move the POS order to the "done" state, the system will
generate the moves between the Accounts Receivable and the Bank's account
related to the form of payment (Cash, Credit Card, etc.), and the POS order
can no longer be modified...

The events that trigger these state changes are different on each OpenERP
version of POS, and that's why we need to know the version you are using to
better help you...

Regards,
-Mario

Hello Mario,
thanks a lot for your answer. I use Openerp 6.0.3, and depending on improvements I consider moving to 6.1, mainly for the POS area.
Currently neither the Cash nor the Credit Card have been reported. I'm wondering if this is done at the moment of period closure. They do appear in the Trial balance though.
Thanks for any suggestion,
hubert

Hi my friend,

I haven't been able to check complete workflow for 6.1, but from OpenERP's
marketing, seems like 6.1 is the way to go for POS...

Plain 6.0.3 POS is basically non-usable... :(
xrg modified the original module and made it workable, fixing the workflow
and many other details, but it is based on pg84-next branch of OpenERP
Server 6.0.3...
xrg work is really good, incorporating to 6.0.3 many patches not found on
the original 6.0.3 ones, so I will recommend you to go this way for 6.0.3...

http://git.hellug.gr/?p=xrg/openobject-addons;a=commit;h=4de61d4eda3e25
http://git.hellug.gr/?p=xrg/openobject-addons;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/trunk-xrg

It has fixed and simplified workflow for POS operations (when paid they go
to "done" and all accounting moves are generated inmediately). If that
doesn't fit your needs, we are working on a modified workflow, and a couple
bugfixes, but still in the process of code clean up and testing... I can
provide it to you "as is" so you can test.... and provide feedback...
!!! ;-)

Regards,
-Mario
