Re: recording cash sale

 

Update: finally, we will create a new view called 'cash sale' that uses the same object as account.invoice (but different type, menu, views and sequence number). We looked how some popular local accounting software implements this and they do it exactly the same way. Also because it uses the same object as account.invoice, the sale workflow doesn't have to be changed significantly.

Thanks, i will check out sale_simple_pos today.
I think what people want here for cash sales, is to be able to record a journal entry directly from income->cash-on-hand accounts. The account payable is never used (and therefore doesn't have to be reconciled) and an invoice is not created. (bank account reconciliation is different and still has to be done) I think in Netsuite there is a feature to create 'cash sale' accounting objects instead of invoices from sale orders to handle that case.

Hi, a few notes:

sale_simple_pos (and related modules listed in the module description) are to be found in the community extra addons (I'll move them in extra addons as soon as I have a clean process to port the history). sale_simple_pos has many advantages but is still based on the notion of invoices + payments reconciled with them

BTW, if you encode payments directly with no invoice, won't you have reconciliation issues? So you would like to generate the payment counterpart at the same time the payment is generated but without invoice document? In our case, sale_simple_pos was made for small companies that marginally sale in shops so they don't require a true POS like OpenbravoPOS (up to say 10 sales an hour seems reasonable), while they can't use the B2B sale interface from OpenERP because entering payments, dealing with stock management and invoice was really too much complex for those repetitive sales by non ERP specialists.

It seems we might port those modules to v6 by the way, not sure yet about a deadline for that.

    Hi,

    POS is not a good idea, because its a different model from the
    sale.order object. Which means it is not cleanly integrated in
    the rest of the system.

    You can check sale_simple_pos by Raphael Valyi, which allows you
    to enter payments in the order screen itself.

    Thanks,

        IMHO the point_of_sale module fits better for this purpose.
        The accounting
        behaviour could differ country by country but it can easily
        be customized
        overriding the required method.
