SambaPOS Roadmap

[Posflow]

I’ve got plenty of requests

A)

Some inventory item updates that would be very useful. Ive seen that new version allows for barcode field for purchases too which is great addition!

Point 2. for CSV import of Inventory items and recipes and point 3. to be able to manage wastage without having to work with it through products and order states.

Moving Fixed Cost to Products directly instead of recipes.

Inventory Reporting and features

1. Inventory Transaction Details Expression I would like to make a request for an expression within {REPORT INVENTORY TRANSACTION DETAILS:} that will filter out purchases and other field related to specified entity. Something along the line of this: @{REPORT INVENTORY TRANSACTION DETAILS:T.AccountName::{0}:,} [Purchases per Supplier:2,1,1,1, 1] Supplier|Soft Drinks|Total {REPORT INVENTORY TRANSACTION DETAILS:T.Name,[T.Quantity.Sum],T.Unit,[T.TotalPrice.Sum]/[T.Quantity.Sum],T.TotalPrice.desc…

B)

Ability to deactivate a user. In the User List interface they can be grouped based on their status. Active and Disabled (whichever wording you prefer). This way we dont have to delete them or come up with quirky ways to manage this as we know turn over in F&B service staff can be quite high.

Ability to deactivate a user

I know we can’t remove users as they’re linked to other data. I was thinking this: Checkbox to deactivate user (only visible when “Edit User” is selected). When, let’s say, checkbox “Inactive” is checked, Pin Code and Password textboxes are disabled. When save is clicked, if “Inactive” checkbox is checked, set Pin Code = some random string and Password = null. If user is inactive and want to be reactivated, when checkbox is changed from checked to not checked, enable Pin Code and Password t…

C) Batch create & edit everything

Speaking of users.

Just like Batch Create Products, entities, accounts and everything else, it would be useful so we can import a list of users. Something we normally ask our customers in advance before the setup i.e.

#Active
John Doe, John, Doe, john@doe.com, +1 23 456 789, 1234, 1234, Owner, Manager, pda

• Batch Edit Users & Roles
• Consolidate Batch Edit Products (Group Code, Name, Barcodes, Tags, Prices, Price Definitions, custom tags etc.) so we have everything about products in one place instead of two separate interfaces
• Batch Create & Edit Edit Printers
• Batch Create & Edit Inventory Items & Recipes
• Batch Create & Edit Order Tag Groups and Tags

D) Tickets screen

Columns for payment and calculations types i.e.

Ticket Type | Number | Date | Op-Cls | User | Ticket Note | Entity Types … Discount | Round | Cash | Credit Card | Voucher and others we define

E) User Interface

User interface is totally functional, it could be updated to match modern style of apps. Obviously we dont have to have an interface of a web and mobile apps but it could do with a bit of polish. I believe Emre did this originally so interface is not laggy on old school devices with J1800-1900 CPUs, but I think we are way past that now. Modern POS devices come with i3 and i5 devices with 8GB ram for the same price of those old J1800-1900 CPUs

I think report viewer sections needs some TLC. Its not possible to scroll it on a touchscreen either vertically nor horizontally. Its near impossible to scroll it horizontally even with a mouse.

Maybe even add date picker to custom keyboards

F) Documentation

There are many Actions and Rules which got an upgrade and include many new fields with no instructions on how to use them or what they accept as input.

There are few {EXP REPORT TAGS} that are broken and return nothing. Especially order tag related ones

As well as some scripting helpers which dont seem to work anymore and {REPORT SQL DETAILS:@@sqlquery …}
