Hi,

We have a store with 2 registers, we need to be able to have a 3rd one that we can use off-line. We sometimes go on the road with some inventory and we need to be able to sell it, give receipts, take payments and when back in the store, sync all the sales and inventory with the main database.

Does anyone knows what is the easiest way to do this?

does the Mobile suite from New West Technologies works?, Where does the mobile cashier prints the receips when off'line?

any ideas?

Thanks,

Sacha

Create a local db (using server "(local)") for off-line use.
Configure SO (Store admin -> Configuration) to use this as the off-line db.
Connect to the server
Do a blind close or a Z-report (this updates the local/off-line db - easiest way I know)
Now, if the POS can't connect to the server, it will work in off-line mode. When you can connect to the server, it will ask if you want to reconnect and update (sorry, those are not the correct terms, but it will resync when you can connect to the server).
