Technical troubleshooting
Queries on features
- Does each POS has its own database? (asked by Vincgoh)
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 the central database is located.

- Does Posterita handle promotion management (such as buy one get one free)? (asked by Vincent_low)
No. This feature has been requested before by prospective clients but it is not in the product at the moment.

I believe that there might be some kind of work arounds by using the discount. So that, if you invoice 2 items at the same time, you give a 50% discount.

- Does it handle 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)
No. Feature not supported at the moment.
- I am looking for a feature which is not supported at the moment. What do I do?
Please go to the posterita wiki and post the request there. We will try to implement the most requested feature after the voting process by the community.

- 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)
There are two possibiities at the moment:
a/ Install in each shop an Adempiere with posterita.
Advantage: this is a local network and the application will always run.
Issues: As there is no database replication facility in Adempiere so far, you cannot aggregate all the information accross the different shops.
b/ Install one Adempiere server and posterita and access the server remotely using internet and other communications means (leased lines,...)
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 etc...
Issues: if you use internet, and there is no connection, the POS does not work. You might need to set up a manual procedure.
Setting up a reliable private network is possible but expensive.

- Could Posterita use in Professional Touch Screen Terminal e.g. IBM SurePos 500? I cannot find the screenshots showing that it is touch screen ready. Moreover, it has built-in Customer Display Pole. Do Posterita support? The purpose of using touch screen because it saves spaces and not because there is only few items to sell; therefore, barcode scanner is required but no keyboard.
