Managing direct sales


Our company wants to have a store that can be used for direct selling, so that, anybody can come to our store, look for a product, and buy the required products. How do we manage these types of sales?

Yes, ADempiere can handle direct sales activities. In a supermarket, you must have noticed customers who want to buy some products go to the cashier and set a payment. No proposal or quotation is involved. Although you can create direct sales using modes of payment other than cash a (credit card, for example), here we will practice direct sales using only cash as the payment rule.

Currently, we have two default cash books in the system: USD Cash book and IDR Cash book. Take a detailed look at both of these cash books. They use Dress as their Organization information.
