* '''Does each POS has its own database?''' (asked by Vincgoh) <br>
 
No, Posterita is a business web application. It works like Gmail, hotmail and so on as such the different clients communicate to the server where there is a central database.

* '''Does Posterita handled promotion management (such as buy one get one free)?''' (asked by Vincent_low) <br>
 
No. This feature has been requested before by prospective client but it is not in the product at the moment. Fred Tsang <br>
 
I believe that there might be some kind of work arounds by using the discount. So that, you invoice 2 items and at the same time you give a 50% discount. Alex Tsang

* '''Does it handled rounding?  Can we say round down the value to nearest 5cents. Eg $1.53 will be $1.50, $1.59 will be $1.55 for cash payment while other payment type like VISA or debit card will be full value?''' (asked by Vincent Goh) <br>

* '''A retail chain with shops located in different geographical areas want to implement Posterita as a POS for these different stores. Is that possible?''' (asked by Vincent Low)<br>
+
There are two possibiities at the moment:
+
a/ Install in each shop an Adempiere with posterita. <br>
+
Advantage: this is a local network and the application will always run. <br>
+
Issues: As there is no database replication facility in Adempiere so far, you cannot aggregate all the information accross the different shops. <br>
+
b/ Install one Adempiere server and posterita and access the server remotely using internet and other communications means (leased lines,...) <br>
+
Advantage: you get real time and synchronised information accross the chain. You know exactly the amount of money you have in each till, the products you sold... <br>
+
Issues: if you use internet, and there is no connection, the POS does not work. You might need to set up a manual procedure. <br>
+
Setting up a reliable private network is possible but expensive. <br>
