FrontAccounting is a great piece of software with robust back-end accounting software that support multi-currency, multi-location, stock mangement and is a lightweight ERP package. However, there are no Point Of Sale support for Retail Store.

We received quite a numbers of request from our customers mainly who are using FrontAccounting as their Accounting Software. We hereby take a step forward to developed this missing piece of code that integrated FrontAccounting with PHP POS.

The Concepts:

FrontAccounting will be the Main Office (HQ) for your company. You manage all your customers, suppliers, inventory control like item pricing, quantity, reorder level for all branches in FA. The POS Terminal will automatically populate the data into each branch respectively depending on POS Locations.

The customers and suppliers data will be share among each branches. The inventory data will be populated depending on POS Locations. This is because the customers can buy any items from different POS locations and able to use the GiftCard to redeem the goods.

For each branch, you have to setup GL Account, Bank Account, Point Of Sales, Inventory Locations and assigned your staff to each POS. These is because we need to have clear bookkeeping data for each branch.

When the customer buy item from any POS location, the sales orders will be automatically sync back to Main Office (HQ). FA will automatically create Customer, Sales Order, Sales Invoice, Delivery Order and Customer Payment depending on your setting in Payment Terms.

Note: CASH payment will create Customer Payment directly.

Online and Off-line Terminal

Our solutions support online and offline sync. The reason is if your internet line have been cut-off (downtime), your POS Terminal WILL NOT BE AFFECTED and will be operate as usual without any interruption. When your internet line resume back to normal, the data will be sync back to HQ to consolidate the Inventory, Sales Order, Customers, GiftCard and so on.

The Solutions:

Open Source POS is another great piece of software that support basic functionality of POS system but is sufficient to be use by most retail businesses. Before we use the Integration Suites, we need to setup the parameters correctly.

• Type: Cash, Description: Credit Card
• Type: Cash, Description: Debit Card
• Type: Cash, Description: Gift Card

Note: Split Payments mean the customers can partially paid by Cash and Credit Card or any combination.

7) Setting up POS Inventory Management – inventory control will be manage by FA
