I am learning something every day about SambaPOS and that’s the reason I asked if it is possible with current setup. It seems SambaPOS can do almost anything as long as you know what you are doing. LOL.
@RickH, can you try a Print button to see if it will print selected tickets.
just tried my cancel transaction button and that doesnt work either, the ticket has to actually be open on screen for it to cancel, you cant select one order or multiple orders
It is probably a fairly simple setup - just missing something.
I think we need to use Load Ticket Action, then Print, then cycle to next Ticket (Loop Values Action?). I’m almost certain there is a way to do this without too much trouble; but I need to do some research.
All rules need mapping with no mapping rules will not work. We often do not mention mapping for rules because well its been said so many times it should be common knowledge.
You will be happy to know when v5 comes out rules will include default mapping.
I’ve followed this and it works great… Only thing is I tried to get it to lock the tickets and change the states… But its not working and I know its because samba doesn’t know what ticket to do it to… Just not exactly sure how to tell it… Any pointers?
Add Actions for Load Ticket and Lock Ticket.
Add them to the Rule that executes the Print Job.
You may need to also add a Close Ticket Action to that Rule.
The other thing to keep in mind is that Lock Ticket is both a flag on the Ticket as well as a Ticket State. So it might be a good idea to add an action for Update Ticket State to the Rule as well.
You may need to play around with the order of the Actions, and I have not tested this. But this is how we learn… try it out!
@QMcKay So i tried this… and it locks the last ticket at the bottom of the ticket list but does not lock the other tickets… I did get it to update the entity state by adding Update Entity State: Bill Requested to the rule.
Im using pdf creator… Which goes through the print spooler of windows. So that It prints the tickets to a pdf for testing. Ive also printed to just a regular dell laserjet for testing and its the same results.
