Group products to get a small Printed Ticket

V5 Question
1

Hello everyone,

I have a question about grouping products, let’s say that I have the following ticket been printed:

I would like this ticket to be short by grouping products as follow:

Notice that in this case I want Coffee (1$), Juice (1$) and Coke (1$) values added together as Beverages to show their added value (3$), the same for the restaurant and bar group products, then beverages, restaurant and bar groups are added together to show the grand total.

The problem is that the paper I will be printing the tickets is not too long so if I need to group the products to print them as one invoice in a short format.

I have read tutorial to group products as drinks, main courses, desserts, etc. But in my case I want to get their costs added to get a total amount price for each group and later the grand total. Can this be accomplished? Any help will be appreciated.

Hmmmm, interesting question, pretty sure it could be done with script but dont think the built in printer template tags will allow this, is more of a report that a ticket template.

Simple… See how I defined grouping by product group. I’ve disabled [ORDERS] section by commenting it but added a single char (-) at the end not to entirely disable it.

A little more fine tuning will probably needed but I think you’ll get the idea. You can also define your custom grouping instead of product groups by using custom product tags.
