Several bugs / ideas for Microsoft

Hi Below are a few things that RMS needs changed/added, especially for the EMEA market.

  1. RMS needs to be able to calculate and print the price per KG or Litre on labels. It is a legal requirement now in Ireland to give these prices on labels for each product so as the customer can identify the value they are getting if they buy larger items.
  2. There should be a field in the cashiers table which holds their DOB. It is a legal requirement that alcohol cannot be sold by someone under 18, so if the cashiers DOB is stored, then you can mark certain categories which would mean the POS refuses to sell these items when a particular cashier is logged on.
  3. Is there any chance of a "Floating Cashiers" module being developed. What this means that each cashier has their own cash drawer insert which they can move from POS to POS, this would then be balanced by RMS no matter which POS they were signed into.
  4. If receipts are put on hold there is no way of knowing who did this, I cannot believe that a cashier somewhere is not using this for fraud. They can simply take the money from the customer without giving them a receipt (you'd be surprised how many customers don't think of asking for one) and then put the transaction on hold, pocketing the money. The store owner needs to know who has put a certain transaction on hold.
  5. Quotes can also be open to fraud as in point 4. These are even worse as they do print what the customer may think is a receipt.
  6. You should not be able to discount below cost price, or at least there should be an option allowing you to turn this off/on as applicable.
  7. Lower bound price defaults to 0. This doesnt actually mean 0 as you can discount below 0.

hi Gaz, Regarding your queries i have following suggestion:

  1. The KG or Litre I belive you can accomplish by using the any sub description field or may use the Unit of Measure field. you can use the label wizard to design this by your own.
  2. For cashier DOB you can develop a small program or may be use the telephone no field if not using it already to map the DOB else develop add-on module and integrate with it. I developed normally such kind of things using the Access a table and then link the RMS database with it. usually I used in reporting where I cover the departmetns he work, section etc if you need detail info I will provide you.
  3. Again floating module can be develop I don't know the cost but need detail specs to do so.
  4. I agree with you regarding the on hold with you.
  5. Quote you can customize in your way.

Good suggestion on Cashier use of Hold. However, as is a Cashier can just Void any transaction and pull the cash. Void function cannot be secured without securing the Return function.
